Can you feel it?
Summer is around the corner and I am so excited!
Today, I’m sharing a sweet, yet healthy (well healthier!) treat that takes five seconds. I guess you could get nit picky and time yourself and find it takes 30 seconds. But five seconds sounds better and yes, this is really fast. ;) I mean, I almost feel silly posting it…
I grabbed some yogurt cups from the store. I found that the cutest ones were these Chobani Greek Yogurt ones with some awesome flavors. For $2 a pack, I just had to snatch them up! There were some Activia ones that were a good size as well.
I cut a slit into the top and popped popsicle sticks in. Done!
One cut went out of control so I added a swatch of packing tape on top and tried again. No sweat.
I popped them in the freezer. A few hours later, we had the perfect after school treat. The connected cups act as a tray but better. Just pop off the one you want and you’re set.
You’ll want to let them thaw a bit first, or run them under warm water for a few seconds to make unmolding them easier. You could even pack it in a picnic like this, unopened. By the time you’re ready for dessert, your yogurt pop will be ready!
I also tried it with some Walmart store brand yogurt. The cup was a bit large for my liking but I knew my kids would like the blueberry flavor so I went with it.
I was right! Blueberry was a hit and the larger cup wasn’t actually so bad. They begged for it for dessert after dinner as well.
Most yogurts have a lot of sugar, so it’s not completely health nutty, but it’s a nice alternative to ice cream or all sugar popsicles and it’s nutritious.
I originally made these as a treat for my boys but found it to be a great treat for me as well! I find that I eat less, enjoy it more, and feel more satisfied when I am done with a frozen yogurt pop over just a cup of yogurt. Oh and the raspberry dark chocolate Chobani was completely delightful!
That’s something to celebrate…
Cheers! :)
Have a great weekend!
P.S. I have a LOT of sewing and crafting and guest posting coming up after our move. Thanks for hanging in there with me. ;)
ooh how yummy! I will have to try this. I may do it with a big tub of yogurt and ice cube trays, since I'm cheap! :) And that dark chocolate raspberry one sounds fantastic.
I've done this in the past, but with the added steps of using the tupperware popcicle makers.. One yogurt cup makes 2 pops that way though! :)
seriously? that is brilliant!!
Great idea! We love those chobani bites, have you tried the fig with blood orange? So good! I can't wait to try it this way!
I must say, this is pretty perfect! We love yogurt around here!
Awesome! I've never seen Chobani bites! Definitely going to look for them tomorrow at the grocery store. Thanks Delia!
Ooh, even faster than foil on top of a tiny paper cup. I like it. =)
that's such a great idea!Def tryin' this!!!!
Um, this is brilliant. I wish I had thought of this a long time ago, since we always have yogurt at our house. I'm doing this tonight! Thanks for posting! :)
Yummmmmmmm
I was doing it many times with Danonino(in Poland in summer they promote this type of eating their yoghurts). And I always love it!
Don't feel silly for posting it! I'm so excited to try it! Thanks for sharing!
I just happen to have some of those little cups in my fridge, I may have to make some for desserts for the kids (and ME)!!
I could totally go for one of these right now!
Such a great idea.
Such a great idea! I am definitely doing this for summer.
