Fruit and Yogurt Popsicles

Blend fresh fruit with yogurt for a frozen treat you can prepare ahead. Leave a few small fruit pieces for texture, or blend everything smooth. Plain yogurt gives the popsicles a tangier flavor, while vanilla yogurt adds sweetness.

Makes approximately 8 popsicles.

Ingredients

• 2 cups mixed fresh fruit, such as blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, and sliced banana

• 2 cups plain or vanilla yogurt

• 1/4 cup granulated sugar, or to taste

Equipment

• 8 small popsicle molds or paper cups

• 8 popsicle sticks

Directions

1. Wash the berries, remove any strawberry stems, and slice the banana.

2. Put the fruit, yogurt, and sugar into a blender. Blend to your preferred consistency.

3. Divide the mixture between the molds or paper cups, filling each approximately three-quarters full.

4. Insert the sticks according to the mold instructions. For paper cups, cover each cup with foil and push a stick through the middle to hold it upright.

5. Freeze for at least 5 hours, until completely firm.

6. Release the popsicles from their molds, or remove the foil and peel away the paper cups before serving.
