Almond Milk Yogurt and Strawberry Popsicles
/Summertime is officially here which means lots of fresh fruit and frozen treats. It’s my favorite time of the year and I love experimenting with different fruits and vegetables that are in season. Strawberries have been at the top of my list and I thought what better than to make homemade popsicles using fresh strawberries and almond milk yogurt to add some creaminess (even though that word makes me cringe). These are a perfect balance of vanilla from the yogurt and fruity sweetness from the strawberries. They’re super simple and will last for a few weeks in the freezer (if you don’t eat them by then!). Enjoy!
Ingredients:
16oz unsweetened almond milk yogurt
2 cups organic strawberries
7 tbsp monkfruit sweetener, divided
2 tsp vanilla extract
Directions:
Blend the yogurt, vanilla extract, and 5 tbsp monkfruit sweetener until well combined. Set the yogurt aside.
Blend the strawberries with 2 tbsp monkfruit sweetener. You can blend the mixture until all the strawberry chunks are gone or leave some chunks, just depending on how you want your popsicles to be.
Pour yogurt and strawberry mixture into popsicles molds. My molds hold about 3 oz of liquid each. I typically will do a layer of yogurt, then strawberry, then yogurt or vice versa. Do this until the molds are full. Place molds in the freezer for about 5-6 hours. I always test mine by trying to pull it out by the stick to see if the stick stays in or not. When the stick stays put, you know they are ready to take out. Simply hold the mold under warm water for a few seconds until it loosens up and you can pull the popsicle out.
With love,
