Popsicles?

ABZWeyman1

I have a serious addiction to Popsicles, especially in the summer! Anyone have recommendations for a yummy low sugar, diet-friendly Popsicle? So I don't over-do it this summer?

I have heard Crystal light have some very tasty popsicles but haven't tried them or if you want to try homemade you can try this:

Watermelon-Blueberry Ice Pops
About 10 (3-ounce) freezer pops
Active Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 6 hours 10 minutes
Ingredients
• 3 3/4 cups chopped seedless watermelon
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1-2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 cup fresh blueberries
Preparation
1. Puree watermelon, lime juice and sugar to taste in a food processor or blender until smooth.
2. Divide blueberries among freezer-pop molds. Top with the watermelon mixture. Insert the sticks and freeze until completely firm, about 6 hours. Dip the molds briefly in hot water before unmolding.

We make homemade popsicles all summer long at our house. My kids LOVE them. Here's what we do:
1 part non fat plain yogurt
1 part fruit juice with no added sugar
1 part fresh fruit (berries, strawberries, bananas, apples, pineapple, peaches, mangoes -- get creative!)

Combine in a blender until smooth. Taste for sweetness (can vary, depending on the type of juice, type of fruit, etc.). If it doesn't seem sweet enough, add a bit of raw honey, or for zero extra calories and still natural, add a pinch of stevia at a time, until you reach the desired sweetness.

Pour in popsicle molds, freeze until firm. Run the mold under hot water for 5 or 10 seconds to loosen from the mold. Very tasty, very healthy, and even some PROTEIN, from the yogurt.

We have purchased the popsicle molds at various places over the years -- usually grocery stores. This year we found some at WalMart, so we snatched up a couple packages.

Enjoy!

This! I've never done them with yogurt, but that's a great idea! I have done frozen fruit ones though - a can of pineapple blended with its juice plus a pinch of sweetener. I assume you could do the same with any fruit. Also, I'm sure if you make a pitcher of Crystal Light and pour it into molds, that would be fabulous too!
