Frozen Yogurt on a Stick
Fit For Life Physical Therapy
Rebecca Youngs, MS, RD, LD
This recipe is great now that the weather is getting warmer and can be changed to fit whatever you have in your fridge! This is also a terrific way to sneak vegetables and fruits into a treat! The fruit puree can be mixed into the yogurt base instead of swirling into the molds. Additionally, adding the granola serves as a nice crunchy base and helps keep the pops from melting.
You will need:
1 plastic ice-pop mold (6-8 count) OR paper Dixie cups
Ingredients
1-2 cups plain, Greek yogurt
2 cups of fruit or veggies, chopped (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, peaches, bananas- can use frozen fruit as well)
Coconut water
Various kinds of sliced or whole pieces of fruit
4 Tbsp. pure honey
½ tsp. vanilla extract
Sprinkle of cinnamon
¾ cup granola
Mix-ins (chocolate chips, cereal, nuts)
Directions
1. In a blender or food processor, combine chopped fruit with enough coconut water to make a smooth consistency once blended. Set aside.
| 1. | In a bowl, add yogurt, honey, cinnamon, and vanilla. Mix well. |
| 2. | Pour the yogurt mixture into the ice pop molds, about 2/3 of the way full. Swirl in 3-4 Tbsp. of the pureed fruit mixture. Add in chunks of sliced fruit. Mix in other ingredients such as nuts, chopped chocolate, or unsweetened coconut. |
| 3. | Sprinkle the mixture with granola. Insert sticks and freeze until hardened, about 2-3 hours. |
