Fruit yogurt popsicle recipe


A nice summery healthy treat for little ones.

Take 3 sliced bananas, a punnet of washed strawberries, 1 kg of natural plain yogurt, 2 tablespoons of water and 2 tablespoons of honey.  Pop all the ingredients into the blender and blend until smooth. 

Set up some plastic cups or popsicle moulds in a low-sided dish. (This helps the pops to stand still when they are first freezing- oh those cheeky little pops do love to move about!).  Fill them about 1/3 full and add a wooden popsicle stick. (1/3 full is a good size for toddlers and young ones)

When the tray of cups is full, transfer it to the freezer and place on a flat surface.  Adjust the pop sticks to ensure they are centred to make them easy for the children to hold whilst they are eating these yummy treats.

A nice addition is a small handful of fresh mint leaves added to the mix before blending.

(We ate these at Moondew on a hot summery day.   A nice refreshing way to share morning tea)

And they are a hit in this house! I made them today and the boys are currently eating one each for dessert. I didn't have quite enough plain yoghurt so used a tub of peach yoghurt as well. Yum, yum!
