3 Ingredients To A Tasty Summer Treat

Blue-Cherry Yogurt Pops
Yes, all you need are three readily available ingredients to create what I call pops of happiness. I call them that because once you taste this blueberry treat you can't help but smile.

I originally planned to share a recipe for Key Lime pie, but I saw this frozen treat and switched gears. It's too easy not to share. All you need: handful of blueberries, 2 cups of plain yogurt and 1/4 cup a sweetener. No lie.

This isn't my creation or idea though I plan to co-opt the base ingredients and make something distinctively mine soon :-). Credit goes to Splenda. See the Sweet Swaps, No. 128 recipe here.

Blueberries and Cherries
Once the mixture is done, pour into a mold. Now is a good time to buy the molds, which are available at most dollar stores. Freeze for at least 5 hours.

Options:
Sweetener: I use and prefer agave. You can try honey also.
Mold: Use an ice cube tray and add wooden Popsicle sticks.
Fruit: I used blueberries and cherries. Use fruit that will "hold up."
