Ingredients

2 cups berries or favourite soft fruit (kiwi, mango etc.)

1 cup vanilla Greek yogurt (or whichever flavour you love best)

3 Tbsp honey or maple syrup

Directions

1. Puree the fruit in a blender.
2. Mix the honey/maple syrup and yogurt together in a bowl.
3. Layer the popsicle mold by alternately spooning in the fruit mix and then the yogurt mix until each mold is full.
4. Insert a popsicle stick and freeze for 3-5 hours until hard and enjoy!

Dietitian’s Tips:

• Use a higher fat Greek yogurt to give kids lots of long-lasting energy from those fats and protein.
• Use store bought or homemade lemonade or coconut water for a refreshing and hydrating twist on popsicles that offer antioxidants and electrolytes that beat the summer heat.
• Get creative and use extra ingredients that bring you joy! Try mango lime, chocolate (cocoa powder) banana, or even cheesecake flavour using blended cottage cheese.
