If you’re looking for a more healthy alternative for a frozen treat this summer – then this popsicle recipe is perfect! It has all natural ingredients – you only need fruit, yogurt and honey. Kids will love that the colors are red, white and blue too!
Ingredients Needed to Make Patriotic Popsicles
Here is what you will need:Â
- Fruit – blueberries and strawberries
- Plain Yogurt
- Honey
- Popsicle Mold (we used a mold that made 10 popsicles)
Can I use another kind of yogurt?Â
Yes! If you use vanilla yogurt you can skip adding the honey. You can also use Greek yogurt.
How many popsicles does this make?Â
For a standard popsicle size mold, we were able to make 10 popsicles. If your mold has thicker popsicles you may only be able to make 6.
How long does it take to freeze?Â
Once each layer is added, allow 6 hours or leave overnight to harden completely.
