Today was cold and rainy, not particularly a nice day for making or eating popsicles. However, since my daughter asks for ice cream 500 times a day and since it was also what I used to potty train her, I have to give in once in a while. The "ice cream" I am referring to is actually frozen yogurt tubes. Yogurt tubes contain ingredients I am not fond of such as sugar, fructose, and guar gum. I want a healthier alternative that doesn't contain any sugar, juice or guar gum and one that I don't feel bad about giving into.
All Natural Popsicles
Measurements depend on how many molds you have. Use double the amount of fruit to yogurt.
Ingredients:
BioBest plain yogurt (I like this because it is 90% lactose free and my daughter is lactose intolerant)
Frozen/fresh fruit (Your choice)
Optional-small amount of honey for those older kids who know what real popsicles taste like :)
Some fruit combinations I like are mango/peach, strawberry/banana and blueberry/honeydew melon.
Put in blender, place in molds and wait. I always find the plastic sticks that come with popsicle molds don't work well so I use wooden ones instead.

I love natural popsicles! We do a different version without the yogurt (my daughter has life threatening dairy allergies).
I'm wondering what combination is in the yellow popsicle?
