If you are looking for a tasty way to beat the summer heat, the Raspberry Lemonade Yogurt Ice Pop is just the perfect treat. Chad and I have a deep love and appreciation for all things lemon. Whether its sweet treats, savory eats, household remedies or beauty treatments we are always happy to use lemon. We always have a fruit basket full of lemons and a good portion of the year we are fortunate enough to have a tree full of lemons.
As I was preparing these fabulously flavorful frozen treats, all I could think about was biting into one. Savoring the layers of tart lemon juice and lemon zest and contrasting sweet raspberries perfectly combined with smooth and creamy protein packed yogurt. I very carefully constructed each popsicle. Took my time, I mean look at those raspberries, all with the end game in mind. These were mine! Chad doesn't care for popsicles that much and Munchkins palette isn't quite developed enough to really enjoy lemon yet. This creation was all for me.
That was until Chad came back from the photo shoot, I don't know what came over him. Shortly after the photo shoot was over I didn't have any more ice pops. I had 10, now I have 1. He had commandeered the entire tray, except the one in my mouth. So nice of him to save me one.
All kidding aside, Chad loved these ice pops so much that he declared these "his popsicles". We have a freezer full of ice pops for the munchkin and I. But these ones, these are for Chad. So, being the ever resourceful woman that I am... I made another batch. Thankfully raspberries are on sale so I can really stock up on these ice pops. Low calorie, healthy treat. The perfect dessert for us to eat!Enjoy! You might want to hide these though. Seriously, behind the vegetables or something.
With love from our kitchen table to yours! XO

ReplyDeleteThank you, Chad does a great job.

ReplyDeleteThese are so amazing. I can't make them fast enough. Yogurt is great frozen.
DeleteNow this is what I love about summer. These sound amazing!!
ReplyDeleteSummer fruit is fantastic. The flavors in here completely rock my world. So good!
Deletei am drooling. how refreshing are these? Seriously, they look gorgeous, look delicious, look fresh and scream summer
ReplyDeleteI know, if I can pry one out of Chad's hands you are welcome to some!
DeleteOooh, these look so creamy and delish! Yum!
ReplyDeleteSeriously amazing. I was a little unsure how they would turn out, but I am soooo happy I worked out the recipe. Definitely worth making.
DeleteIs the plain yogurt sweetened?
ReplyDeleteNo, it is not. That is why I use sugar in the recipe. I buy the Dannon all natural plain yogurt (sometimes I use non-fat). Just milk and pectin are the ingredients. Hope that helps!
DeleteI made this today using vanilla yogurt and blackberries -- it was delicious! thank you for the recipe :)
ReplyDeleteI followed the principles and proportions of this recipe substituting greek yogurt, limes, and strawberries (what I had on hand). Spectacular! Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteYou could probably use Splenda baking blend and non fat greek yogurt. I would certainly cut the calorie count, the fat count and add protein from the greek yogurt.
