Blackberry and Vanilla Yogurt Swirled Popsicles
Popsicles are the end all be all for easy summertime treats. You go to the dollar store and buy (for $1.00) a popsicle mold. Then you let the fun begin. It’s really about eating something frozen on a stick.
You know I love my sugar but I do try to sneak a little healthy into my kids snack time. I could tell you I went out into the back yard and picked fresh blackberries (they are growing) but I can’t get to them before my youngest and she eats them as she picks, so it’s frozen for these pops.
I have to tell you, these pops just made me smile while taking the photos. My cheap Dollar Store mold with the bright colored sticks. I wanted to be a kid again, carefree during the summer, nothing to worry about except swimming, riding my bike and playing with friends.
Things are a little different these days but popsicles are still a summertime must have. I’ll ignore the fact that my teenage son was on his Xbox when I offered him one of these and relish in the fact that he put his remote down so he could have one in each hand.

What a ‘cool’ idea for a good frozen treat.
I have been making the watermelon ones for hubby, now I’m thinking of switching up to a creamy treat.
A little variety plus it’s healthy too, thanks for sharing.
Your pictures look very tasty! 🙂
These pops look and sounds delicious!! Thanks for including my pops too 😉
Kids do have it made don’t they? My kids devour popsicles! I generally don’t mind them, but if I can make my own, then even better! Love these Joan!
These sound awesome! I love frozen treats for the summer!
Blackberry is a huge favorite at our house…and my daughter has been looking for “good for you” cold treats.
Think I might do this with some greek yogurt. 🙂
