Homemade Honey Sweetened Yogurt Popsicles.

June 28, 2012 - 3 Comments

I know you've been hearing this everywhere…
 
… but it's dang hot here.
 
As in really hot. As in hide-in-your-house-until-dusk hot. As in unless-you're-at-the-beach-you-will-go-outside-for-nothing hot.
 
I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. We are on the Gulf Coast, after all.
 
And because we came from 70 degree, rainy weather, we've been having to come up with a few ways to help beat the heat.
 
One includes eating an entire watermelon in one sitting. Mmm! So refreshing!
 
The other, and more socially acceptable, is to make some homemade popsicles. Icy goodness that refreshes the mouth and soul. Yes, please!
Plus, there's a few bonuses to these homemade honey sweetened yogurt popsicles:
1. Your gut gets the benefit of pro-biotic rich yogurt
2. … and the benefit of raw honey
3. ….and the benefit of seasonal, delicious, sun-ripened fruit
 

They whip up in less than three minutes (truthfully) and are totally worth the effort. I promise.

 

 

Homemade Honey-Sweetened Yogurt Popsicles
You will need:
 – 1 cup yogurt or kefir (I use this culture)
 – 1/4 cup raw honey
 – 1 pound of fresh fruit (peaches, berries, etc.)
 – 1 tablespoon vanilla extract (optional)
 
I'd like to apologize for the lack of “making” these popsicles. Our new kitchen has almost zero natural light and I've yet to find a way to capture photographs in the kitchen that amount to a blog worthy shot.
 
It's a real problem.
 
Regardless, the process is pretty simple. Throw all the ingredients into a food processor or blender. Puree it until it's nice and smooth and ridiculously delicious looking. Then, pour it into some popsicle molds (like these). 
 

Freeze for 2-4 hours, or until completely solid.

 

 

And lastly, give one to your little babe and watch them enjoy the pleasure of an icy treat on a sweltering summer day.

 

 

But don't worry. These treats aren't only for the wee ones. With naturally sweetened goodness that's equally delicious and good for you, one doesn't even need to feel guilty about eating one. 
 
… or two.
 
… or… nevermind.
 
Hey, at least it stopped the watermelon binges.
 

For the time being.

    Oh, yeah, that’s looks good! We’re in Caldwell and it’s been in the triple digits here…way to hot to get anything done. I’m afraid we’ve got a long hot summer ahead of us.

    These popsicles look delicious! Here in Texas, the heat comes with the territory, but I’m sure the hubby would love a cool sweet treat. I’ve given up trying to keep the babe clothed, he is much happier and cooler in his birthday suit!

    By the way, I am a new follower to your blog….thank you for all the wonderful information and positive and uplifting posts.

    Take care.
