Popsicle with Greek Yogurt and Berries

Homemade Popsicle, or ice lolly as they are called somewhere, is a great dessert or snack especially during the summer time. We have made these Popsicle many times and they are super delicious. We normally make the Popsicle with blueberries, strawberries and bananas. However, the type of berries and fruit is basically totally up to you and your preferences.

This recipe is very easy to make and it’s based on simple and low fat ingredients – you only need low fat Greek yogurt or another similar dairy product, some honey, fruit and berries. Because this ice creams doesn’t contain any heavy cream or other fat products they are a very healthy alternative to regular ice cream. Even though this ice cream is fat free it’s still very delicious and it’s our experience that kids love them.

We have three different layers in the ice cream. However, you can easily experiment with thinner and more layers and layers with different tastes. For this recipe you would need some Popsicle molds which you can find at your local kitchen appliance store or online at eBay or Amazon.
