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.

You might want to hide these though. Seriously, behind the vegetables or something.

ReplyDeleteThank you, Chad does a great job.
DeleteSo pretty and love the flavor combination. I bet the yogurt is terrific frozen. Have a great weekend!
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.
ReplyDeleteCaution advised: Splenda can be a huge migraine trigger. Learned the hard way :(
DeleteWhere did you find your Popsicle mold? I just love the look of traditional Popsicles! Also, what about substituting honey for the sugar? I'm trying to do away with refined sugars, but these just look too yummy to pass up! :)
ReplyDeleteHoney should work perfectly. I have never tried it myself. Let mw know how they come out. Here is a link to the molds http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002IBJOG/ref=pe_214850_30585960_email_1p_0_ti
DeleteBeautiful recipe! So simple, healthy, and refreshing!
ReplyDeleteWhen your popsicles are frozen, how do you store them so you can use the molds again?
ReplyDeleteI place each one in a plastic baggie and store all of those baggies in a freezer gallon bag. Hope that helps.
DeleteThey're beautiful! Mine turned out very sour. I think I'll use less lemon next time. I also used plain Greek yogurt, does that make a difference?
ReplyDeleteThey're beautiful! Mine turned out very sour, I think I'll use less lemon next time. Also I used plain Greek yogurt. Does that make a difference?
ReplyDeleteGreek yogurt would make them thicker, but do what works for you. We do like sour, but the lemon size and quality makes a big difference. Large lemons tend to be more juicy, but less flavorful. Where as small lemons really pack a punch.
DeleteHope that helps! Enjoy. XOXO Donna
Thanks Donna!! I'll check the mix next time for lemon taste before freezing! Also I'm wondering if Greek yogurt made ut more tart? I'll try with plain yogurt next time.

DeleteMy husband and I tried to make these today, but we used agave instead of sugar and blended the mixture before pouring it into the molds. When we tasted it it was extremely bitter! Would this be from blending it? Any thoughts? The same thing happened with key lime pops we tried to make earlier this week :-/
ReplyDeleteMany many....thanks for your kindness I would like to ask you if it is possible to make it with diet sweet and diet yoghourt
ReplyDeletegreat recipe!
ReplyDeleteI'm eyeing all these delicious popsicle recipes today. Raspberries and lemonade is a must try!
ReplyDeleteLove flavor combo! mouthwatering idea for hot summer days! thanks for sharing with us...
