Simple, Healthy, and Delicious Snack-- And a Great Way to Get Your Kids to Eat Yogurt!

My boys are always hungry and are always looking for a snack. This is easy to make, healthy, and delicious-- not only for my kids, but for me too! My kids enjoyed putting it together almost as much as they enjoyed eating it! We just put some Greek yogurt in a bowl, poured some honey on top, and added some fresh berries-- yum!

Berry-licious Yogurt Pops

 

I am always looking for fun things to make with my kids and healthy things for them to eat.  When my youngest was teething, I used to by the Go-gurts (kids yogurt in a tube) and freeze them to help with the horrible pain of teething. Why not freeze regular yogurt? Well we did and it is delicious! Minus the freezing time and the chopping of the strawberries, these only took a few minutes for my kids to put together. I chopped the strawberries up for them and over saw the measuring, otherwise, they pretty much made them on their own.

Berry-licious Yogurt Pops Recipe

Ingredients:

1 Cup Plain Greek yogurt
1 Cup Fresh Berries of Your Choice (We used Strawberries, Blueberries, and Blackberries)
2 Tablespoons Honey
Small Paper Cups
Popsicle Sticks or Pretzel Rods

 

Mix together the yogurt, berries, and honey until combined. 

Spoon mixture into small paper cups and add a popsicle stick or pretzel rod. Freeze for about 2 hours and enjoy!
 

Keep Strawberries and Other Berries Fresher Longer!!

 

To keep your strawberries and other berries fresh longer in the refrigerator, use 1 Part White Vinegar to 10 Parts Water. Soak the berries

in the vinegar/water mixture for a few minutes. Then drain the berries in a colander until they are completely dry. Place berries in an uncovered bowl in the refrigerator. The vinegar/water mixture kills any mold spores on the strawberries and keeps them fresh longer. The vinegar does not affect the taste. This works for all kinds of berries like strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries.
Try it for yourself and see how much longer your berries last!
