Homemade Frozen Treats

Mmmmm...Nothing quite like a frozen treat to cool you down on a hot summer day - especially when it is totally made by you, and nothing but healthy goodness!


I have been tinkering about in my kitchen lately with the help of a very willing taste tester, and came up with a few yummy recipes for frozen goodies.

These recipes generally fill 6 popsicle molds. Enjoy!
***
Peach, Mango, Orange
2 canned peach halves (packed in fruit juice)
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1/2 cup OJ
1 small red mango (skinned & chopped)
2 Tbsp honey

Blend & pour in molds.
***
Avocado & Banana
1 ripened Avocado, chopped
1 medium sized Banana
1/2 cup Plain yogurt
3 Tbsp Honey
1 tsp lemon juice

Blend & pour in molds
***
Berries & Cream


1 cup Mixed Frozen Berries
1 cup Plain Yogurt
1 small ripened avocado, chopped
3 Tbsp Maple Syrup

Blend & pour in molds
***
Banana Pops
1 Banana
1/2 c plain yogurt
2 canned peach halves (packed in juice)
2 Tbsp honey

Blend & pour in molds
***
Mango Twist


1 cup Orange juice
2 canned peach halves (packed in juice)
1 ripened mango (chopped, peeled & pit removed) - about 3/4 cup

Blend & pour in molds
***


The molds I use are the star shaped molds by Cuisipro. Obviously any molds will do, but I do especially love these ones because they are nice and tidy. Being push pops, your little one only ever has as much popsicle as they can handle.
