It’s Summer! Yay! In most places it’s HOT out. Not San Francisco – but that’s ok 😉 Personally, I don’t really like to eat anything warm or heavy when it’s hot outside. I like things light and refreshing. Popsicles are at the top of the list when I think of yummy summer treats.

I want to share a delicious, easy and healthy treat that you can make for friends and family! They are made with Greek yogurt and fruit – so the possibilities are endless! Give these a try and get creative with new combos!

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 Cup – Plain Greek Yogurt (my preference is Fage total)
• 12-14 medium strawberries (A bag of frozen organic strawberries are the most cost effective and are perfect for this recipe)
• 4 Tbsp – Chia Seeds
•  2 Tbsp – water
• 1 set of popsicle mods (or dixie cups w/ popsicle sticks). This is my FAVORITE popsicle mold – check it out and give them a try!

INSTRUCTIONS:

• In a blender, blend the strawberries and chia seeds and until smooth. If it’s too thick, add a little water. Start VERY slow as you can always add more – not less. Start with 1 Tbsp and add more if needed. You’ll notice the mixture will loosen up and blend easier with a little liquid added.
• Add the yogurt and blend until mixed well.
• Using the small funnel, fill each popsicle mold, leaving a little room so it doesn’t overflow when you put the sticks in.
• Put the sticks/tops onto each popsicle mold.
• Freeze until hard.
• Enjoy as a snack or even breakfast!
