Beat the Heat!

This summer has been soooo hot and humid here, yuck!
Back during strawberry season, my boyfriend and I picked strawberries at a local farm.  Pick your own is a lot of fun and a cheap way to get good berries.  We couldn't eat all the berries that we picked before they went bad, so I decided to make frozen pops and beat the heat at the same time!  And these are boyfriend approved!


I found this recipe in the cookbook Deceptively Delicious, titled "Frozen Yogurt Pops."

Ingredients:
2 cups plain lowfat yogurt
2 cups berries
1/2 cup sugar

Start Cooking:
1. Combine all ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
2. Pour into popsicle molds and freeze.

Tips and Hints:
1.  You will need plastic popsicle molds for this recipe.  I found mine at five below, but I'm sure that you can find them at any number of stores.  If you don't have popsicle molds, you can use paper dixi cups and popsicle sticks.
2.  Nutrition Info: these pops are only 100 calories each and loaded with good stuff!  lots of calcium and fruit!
