I have been making frozen yogurt popsicles for my sons since they were first able to hold on to a stick. (They’re perfect for teething.) Now, they are old enough to make their own. Higher in nutritional value, lower in fat, no artificial ingredients, and less expensive—why wouldn’t you make your own yogurt treats? During the summer months I keep the blender on the counter (or at least within view) for quick breakfast smoothies or popsicles. Throw whatever fresh fruit (frozen is fine too) you have on hand, plain or flavoured yogurt, and a splash of fruit juice (if needed) into a blender and blend (the kids love this part). If the yogurt mixture is too thick, thin it out with a little juice or milk. Pour the mixture into popsicle molds and pop them in the freezer. You can have the kids do this in the morning when you are making breakfast, and they will be frozen in time to enjoy after school or camp. The preparation will be no more than 10 minutes, clean-up is minimal, and the kids get a much needed pre-school/camp diversion.What kinds of snacks do you like to make with your kids?
