Homemade Strawberry Popsicle
Summertime
brings back so many fun memories. I grew
up in Arizona where it was hot 9 months out of the year. We spent A LOT of time in the pool trying to
cool off or sitting in what little shade we might find.
To help cool us off, we would eat
popsicles. We weren’t particular about
our popsicles. They could be Otter Pops,
or homemade popsicles. Either way, we
were happy.
As an
adult, I still enjoy a good popsicle.
But now I see the benefit of having fresh fruits in my kids diets, so
making homemade popsicles has become one of our traditions.
My little people enjoy strawberries and so
they really love homemade strawberry popsicles.
This year
we headed out to a local u-pick strawberry patch. We had a great time. You can tell by the amount of strawberry
juice on the kids faces. They were super
tasty. We got 20 lbs of strawberries and
knew we had to make some homemade strawberry popsicles.
Now about
a year ago, we decided to start making our own yogurt. We can save money plus get a healthy and
delicious yogurt that can last us a little longer. So this summer we combined our love of
homemade yogurt and our love of strawberries into a delicious homemade
strawberry yogurt popsicle. It was a BIG
hit.
Not only
are we get fresh fruit, but also fresh yogurt in one delicious treat. Bonus, we got to pick our own strawberries
this year so they were super fresh and delicious.
