I think that's actually a spinach blueberry pop, but you get the idea. Now that the weather is warmer I'm finding myself preparing cooling treats for my toddler to enjoy after we come in from time outside. I saw the idea for these frozen Greek yogurt drops on this food blog and loved the concept. I never buy flavored yogurt because of the additives, but accidentally picked up some honey vanilla the other day, so I turned those into the drops pictured. Usually I'll just take some plain, full fat, Greek yogurt and stir in some honey until it's slightly sweet. You could easily blend in some fresh fruit as well. Scoop about a cup into a pastry bag, and squeeze out drops onto some parchment paper and freeze for a few hours. The drops will pop right off the paper and can be stored in the freezer in an airtight container. They melt after a few minutes of course, so these aren't an "on the go" snack. As for the pops, the mold is by Munchkin brand, and I absolutely love the snack size which your child will finish before it has a chance to start to melt. My daughter isn't one to refuse her veggies (yet), but that doesn't mean I'm not on the look out for creative ways for her to get more. We all drink a "green smoothie" each morning and what I often do is pour extra into the molds. If not, I'm blending whatever I have in the fridge for the molds. Sometimes it's more sorbet-like with watermelon, pineapple and cucumber, sometimes it's more creamy like peanut butter, banana and yogurt, and sometimes it's true green with kale, green grapes, honey dew and some yogurt. I'm starting to realize she'll eat anything in a popsicle mold so I may start to get more aggressive with the vegetables......enjoy!
