Mini Berry Yogurt Pops

Ingredients

• 1 cup plain whole milk yogurt
• 1/2 cup mixed berries, fresh or frozen, chopped if large
• 1/2 medium ripe banana, sliced
• 2 to 3 tablespoons milk or water

Method & Instructions

1. 1

   Wash hands and rinse berries under cool water if using fresh fruit.

2. 2

   Add yogurt, berries, banana, and 2 tablespoons milk or water to a blender.

3. 3

   Blend on high for 30 to 45 seconds until the mixture looks smooth and pale pink with no visible fruit chunks.

4. 4

   Check thickness. The mixture should pour slowly from the blender. If it feels too thick to pour, add 1 more tablespoon liquid and blend again.

5. 5

   Place silicone mini popsicle molds or a silicone ice cube tray on a small tray or plate for easy transfer to the freezer.

6. 6

   Pour the mixture into molds, leaving about 1/4 inch space at the top for expansion.

7. 7

   Insert short popsicle sticks or toddler friendly handles into each mold.

8. 8

   Freeze for at least 3 hours until pops feel firm all the way through.

9. 9

   To unmold, run the outside of each mold under warm water for 5 to 10 seconds and gently wiggle the stick until the pop loosens.

10. 10

    Place the pop on a plate and let it soften at room temperature for about 10 minutes, until it feels soft all the way through and a spoon presses into it easily.

11. 11

    For children under 24 months, scrape soft shavings into a bowl or thaw the pop until soft, then serve it from the bowl with a spoon. From 24 months, a whole mini pop on a stick may be offered only while the child is seated and closely supervised.

12. 12

    SAFETY NOTE: Under 2 years, serve only soft shavings in a bowl, never a whole frozen pop.
