¾cupGreek vanilla yogurtsee notes if you have plain
3Tablespoonssugar
1teaspoonlemon juicebottled or fresh
Instructions
Use a chopper, hand blender or small food processor to mix the berries. You can use a potato masher, but be sure to mash all bigger chunks.
Wash the berries and cut any stems off. For strawberries you can cut them in half but raspberries and blackberries are fine without cutting. Place them in the chopper bowl with the sugar and lemon juice.Chop/mix for about 20-30 seconds, until there are no large berry chunks.
You can layer these popsicles how you like, this is how we do it:Add about 3 spoons of berry mix to the bottom of each popsicle in a silicone mold. Follow with an even layer of yogurt and then an even layer of the remaining berry mixture.
¾ cup Greek vanilla yogurt
Freeze for at least 4 hours before serving.
When removing from the mold, you may need to run a little bit of warm/lukewarm water over the mold to get the popsicles out easily. Follow instructions that come with your mold.
Notes
Nutritional values are estimated and will vary depending on the ingredients you use (berries and yogurt.)This makes 8 popsicles but you can adjust it to make 10 - Use a full pound of berries, a full cup of yogurt and a quarter cup sugar (adjust to taste.) Lemon juice can stay at 1 teaspoon.Homemade vanilla Greek yogurt - This will taste slightly different then store bought vanilla but we actually prefer it. Add 1 tablespoon honey and a quarter teaspoon vanilla extract to your plain Greek yogurt. Stir well and your vanilla yogurt is ready.Adjust the sugar to taste - Some berries are sweeter then others so I do recommend you taste the berry mixture to see if you need more sugar before making the popsicles.
