There just isn’t any reason to buy popsicles full of sugar and High fructose corn syrup, when they are so easy to make yourselves. Last week’s Tofu Chocolate popsicle was such a hit, we decided to make others.
We blended some
- vanilla yogurt (you can use plain too),
- apricot jam. (No sugar added)
-in the food processor, and filled the popsicle mold.
These froze in less than 3 hours. It could have been sooner, but that is when we checked on them.
Tip for getting your popsicles to release from the mold, is to run the mold under water for just a second. Usually, they will pop right out after that.
Exciting news: Anni Daulter, (who I spoke of last week) will have an entire cookbook coming out next year with ALL popsicles!

I really need to get a popsicle mold – love this!
This is such a good idea…It’s like a yogurt popsicle! I hope you’ll come over to No Whine Wednesday again! http://blog.foodonthetable.com/2010/07/no-whine-wednesday-spinach/
Girl, I need to get your blog on my blogroll. You never disappoint! I need to buy popsicle molds and start making them for Sophie. She, by the way, thinks your plate is the coolest thing that’s happened to mealtime. It will be an easy review to write!
Wonderful. I’ve been experimenting in this area for the first time myself and I could really use some more ideas. ‘Tis the season! :)
Wow – these are fantastic fun kid snack ideas! It can be so hard to come up with healthy alternatives that are ‘kid approved.’ Thanks and I’ve bookmarked your site!
Yes, definitely a site to bookmark and come back to for great ideas. However, more omega-3s are needed. Gudernoobs by WooHoo Foods are 100% all natural snacks that are packed with omega-3s too.
