One of E's requests was to make homemade popsicles and since the hubby and kids spoiled me this year for Mothers Day with a brand new Vitamix I figured we could cross that off our list a little early. I LOVE my Vitamix, it has been one of the best kitchen purchases in a while. Our morning smoothies have been forever changed by this amazing machine. I won't bore you with how much I love it, but lets just say I love it almost as much as I love Costco.
You don't need a Vitamix to make these popsicles, any high powered blender would work. They are quick to whip up and you only need 3 ingredients. You can omit the chocolate chunks but I think the extra texture and sweetness is a nice touch. The kids really enjoyed them and I can't wait to see what other recipes we can put together over the summer. I hope you enjoy this delicious and healthy summer treat!
Ingredients:
4 Cups fresh sliced strawberries
1 Cup Honey Greek Yogurt (I used the Trader Joes brand)
1/4 Cup Water
1/2 chocolate bar chopped into chunks (I used Trader Joes semi sweet hazelnut chocolate bar)
Directions:
Chop up your fresh strawberries and place in a blender, add the yogurt, and water. Blend everything together til it is very smooth. Place a few chocolate chunks in the bottom of your popsicle mold then slowly pour in a small amount of the strawberry mixture. Keep layering the chocolate chunks and strawberry mixture til your popsicle mold is full. Place in the freeze, best to free over night.
This looks super yummy! I can't wait to try this recipe. I found you on a #gardenchat share on instagram. Do you share on Twitter too?
