Are Berry Popsicles Healthy?
Many of us grew up having those colorful frozen pops in the Summer months. You know, the ones made with artificial flavoring and a ton of sugar. Not too long ago those frozen pops morphed into popsicles made with fruit juice, but still contained a boat-load of sugar.
It is possible to make easy popsicles that are far more healthy, but still retain the joy of that icy cold Summertime treat. Really all you have to do is use whole ingredients like fresh berries, nut milks, yogurt, nuts (or granola) and perhaps a bit of honey.
Make them up in batches and then pull one out if you’re running late to work, or if the kids are looking for a treat on a hot summer day.
As a long-time low carb eater, I lived on blueberry high protein smoothies for my first meal of the day. These popsicles are similar in nutrients to the smoothies, but it makes life even easier when you don’t need to do any dishes, clean the blender, or measure ingredients. Perfect!!!
Make them ahead and pop them into the freezer for about 4 hours and they will be there waiting for you whenever the craving strikes….grab-and-go or leisure time on the deck!
