Berry Fro Yo Popsicle Recipe



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.
