Ingredients For Homemade Popsicles for Kids

We use 4 simple ingredients to make these healthy popsicles for kids: 

• Plain Greek Yogurt: Use full-fat greek yogurt to provide the creamy texture for these popsicles, offering a rich texture and a boost of protein. Do not use flavoured yogurt as it usually comes with added sugar. 
• Banana: Adds natural sweetness and helps achieve a smooth consistency when blended with the yogurt.
• Frozen Blueberries: Bursting with antioxidants and flavor, these little blue gems bring a vibrant color and refreshing taste to the popsicles.
• Fresh Strawberries: Packed with vitamin C and fiber, strawberries lend their sweetness and a hint of tartness to balance out the flavors.

With these ingredients we get 3 flavors of popsicle which babies and toddlers will also love - strawberry yogurt popsicles, blueberry greek yogurt popsicles and banana yogurt popsicles.

• Fresh Fruit: Garnish the popsicles with fresh fruit slices before freezing for an extra burst of flavor and visual appeal.

Once frozen, remove the popsicles from the molds and store them in a freezer bag or container to prevent freezer burn. They can be kept for up to two weeks for optimal freshness.
