These Blueberry Yogurt Popsicles are a delightful and healthy treat, perfect for cooling off on a hot day. Made with fresh blueberries, creamy yogurt, and the natural sweetness of banana, these popsicles are not only delicious but also packed with nutrients.

For a Serving Size of Two:

Ingredients:

150 grams fresh blueberries
200 grams plain yogurt
1 ripe mashed banana (approximately 100 grams)
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt

Procedure:

In a blender, combine the fresh blueberries, yogurt, mashed banana, honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth, leaving some blueberry pieces for texture if desired.
Pour the mixture into popsicle molds, leaving a little space at the top to allow for expansion when freezing.
If using wooden sticks, insert them into the molds after about 30-60 minutes of freezing (when the mixture is firm enough to hold them upright).
Freeze the popsicles for at least 4-6 hours or until completely solid.
To remove the popsicles, run warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds, then gently pull out the popsicles. Enjoy immediately

Nutritional Benefits:

Blueberries are rich in antioxidants, particularly anthocyanins, which help reduce inflammation and promote heart health. They are low in calories yet high in fiber, making them a great option for a healthy snack.
Yogurt provides beneficial probiotics that support gut health and enhance digestion, along with calcium and protein essential for bone health.
Bananas add a natural sweetness and are a good source of potassium, which helps regulate blood pressure. This recipe offers a nutritious alternative to store-bought popsicles, with no added sugars, ensuring a refreshing snack that the whole family can enjoy guilt-free.
