Yogurt Pops
A quick, healthy, and cool treat to whip up for warm days…
Blend together:
1 ripe banana
1 cup yogurt
1/4 cup juice or water
1/4 cup sliced fruit
1 tsp vanilla
Pour into popsicle molds and freeze. You can experiment with all different kinds of flavor combinations. I tried peach and banana, and plan on trying peanut butter banana next! You could also substitute cooled fruit tea for the liquid.
Tonight is the big fund raising dinner and auction for Andrew’s team that is going to China this summer. He and the team will head back to the orphanage we were at in November and we’ll be sharing more about that soon.
Those remind me of the ‘homemade’ popsicles that I always had every summer for you and Jason. So fun!! That recipe looks delicious. How did Jude like them?
Hooray for summer food, fun and weather!!

What a GREAT idea to use yogurt…I always hate how sharp the ice crystals are in homemade ‘pops (I know, I’m a little picky, but stil…) and yogurt just sounds like it would go down so much smoother!
I’m going to have to tuck away your recipe for next summer…or for myself this summer!

Jess, I listen to you Heather and Lisa and feel like I am back in the 70’s!!!!Makes me remember all we all did those things and how much fun it was. One year I only baked bread by hand and never bought a loaf. Unfortunately, life gets busy and we settle for faster things. We do have a garden this year, be it a bit tiny!!!!!!! I am glad you married girls are doing the “right” things for your children. SHout of of love to you

I made these after seeing a similar recipe in a little ’sugarless snacks for kids’ book that you had given me Mum- printed in the 70’s I think! I remember the pudding pops you made us- so yummy.
Jude hasn’t tried them yet but I like em!:)
They are a little less crystally than some home made pops Marit, and you should definately make them for yourself this summer!
Deb did you know I haven’t bought a loaf of bread since over a year ago!:) (I make it now) Mom has said similar things about remembering all the home made things you guys have done- so fun!
Aunty Foo:) I can’t wait to see your raw pops!!
