Our family loves yogourt smoothies - usually for breakfast or ocassionally as a snack. We also love frozen popsicles on a hot summer day. This easy recipe combines both of these treats into one - the "Smoothsicle". The ones we made today incorparated the fruit on hand - mangos, peaches and strawberries and vanilla yogourt but use whatever you have in your kitchen.
We also used these cute rocketship shaped popsicle molds. They come in a set of six and are easy to use as they come with an easy to use base. This recipe easily makes 12 rocket smoothsicles but ultimately yield will depend on the size of your moulds. But any left overs make a great smoothie!
Ingredients
2 cups vanilla yogourt
1 cup frozen peaches
1 cup frozen mangos
1/2 cup fresh strawberries, roughly chopped
Method
1. Place yogourt, peaches and mangos in blender and puree till smooth.
2. Add strawberries and pulse until incorporated but still chunky.
3. Pour mixture into moulds and freeze till solid.
Enjoy!
These look so cute and beautiful. The recipe looks simple and easy to make. I would love to try. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteVery cute! I'm sure your kids are happy eaters :)
ReplyDeleteThose are cool popsicles!
ReplyDeleteThese take me back to my childhood...quite a trip to 1960! My Mom always made homemade popsicles in the summer. I posted your link on my Facebook page today, hope that's ok. Too good not to share. Come by GrannyMountain for a visit...

Mary - you're right the recipe is SUPER easy - perfect when you don't want to spend time in a hot summer kitchen!
I feel like a kid again just looking at these. But the flavor combo of mango, peaches and strawberries makes me feel like a grown-up. ;)
