Blueberry & Yogurt Ice Pops
Makes 8-10
Now that blueberries are abundant, their popularity has soared. This is great because the health benefits and flavor are utterly delightful, especially when teamed with their old friend yogurt.
2 cups blueberries
7 tablespoons water
¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Generous 2 cups Greek yogurt
8 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
Put the blueberries, 5 tablespoons water and sugar in a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Simmer over a low heat for 3–5 minutes until the blueberries burst. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside.
Mix together the yogurt, honey, lemon juice and the 2 tablespoons water in a bowl. Spoon alternate layers of the yogurt and blueberry mixtures into each ice pop mold, leaving ¼-inch at the top to allow the mixture to expand when it freezes. Insert the ice pop sticks and freeze.
