We’ve found a new favorite for hot Summer days! The Little Bites Silicone Ice Pop Molds by Kinderville make creating healthy, homemade, toxin-free popsicles a cinch. The only thing that goes into your kiddo’s treat are the fresh ingredients you choose. They’re a great alternative to store bought popsicles that are often loaded with sugar, dyes and unwanted chemicals.
Ingredients:
16 oz. organic whole milk vanilla yogurt (also known as cream top)
1 cup of ripe fruit
2 Tbsp. local honey
Fruit variations: Any fruits used alone or your favorite combinations work perfectly in these popsicles. Some of my favorites are: Strawberry/ Banana or Raspberry /Blueberry
Directions:
- Prepare fruit: wash, remove all inedible parts, cut into large pieces (if applicable)
- Place all ingredients in blender- Blend till smooth
- Pour into popsicle molds- I use my Kinderville Popsicle Molds which are great for small children
- Freeze
We also use fresh squeezed organic fruit and/or veggie juices for our popsicles. It turns out that my kids will actually eat a grapefruit popsicle made with a dash of lemon juice and sweetened with a little Stevia, even though they don’t care for grapefruit in general. Hmmm, who’d of thought?
