This is really a summer recipe, but just because it's fall doesn't mean we can't have our popsicles, damn it! Anger aside, I have two recipes, one for kids (that has a little sugar) and one for us (that has extra protein).
For the kids, combine the following in a blender:
- 2 cups plain low fat yogurt, or Greek non-fat yogurt (my preference)
- 2 cups frozen berries
- 1/2 cup confectioners sugar
For a protein packed "adult" version, combine the following in a blender:
- 2 cups plain low fat yogurt, or Greek non-fat yogurt (my preference)
- 2 cups frozen berries (blueberries are very low on the glycemic index)
- 1 scoop vanilla whey or casein protein
- 1 egg white
- 2 packets splenda or a few drops of vanilla stevia (preferred)
Pour both into little cups, arrange on a dish or platter (I used a square baking pan) and cover with 2 layers of saran wrap. Make little slits above each cup, and stick in a popsicle stick. Stick in freezer, and go get a pedicure. You deserve it. When they are finished, just rip the cups off, and voila! A yummy and healthy treat--as evidenced by the looks of sheer ecstasy on my boyfriend's kids' faces.
