I'm not going to lie — as a full-time-work-outside-the-home-mom breakfast often involves me tossing a few granola bars at my kids while we make a mad dash for the car. That's why I try really (really!) hard to come up with creative, make-ahead breakfast ideas that are not only healthy but are things my kids will actually eat without complaints (because complaints take time in the morning we just don't have). This week we tried something new we now fondly refer to as Breakfast Popsicles and if I told you my kids L-O-V-E-D them it would be an understatement.
Simply add your favourite greek yogurt, frozen fruit, and milk to a blender.
Blend until smooth.
Pour into popsicle molds.
Leave a little bit of room at the top so they don't overflow when you put the lid on.
Freeze and enjoy!
Ingredients:
2 individual-sized greek yogurts (we use coconut)
1 cup frozen fruit (we use strawberries)
1/2 to 3/4 cup milk depending on size of moulds (we use skim)
Directions:
Add all ingredients to blender and blend until smooth.
Pour into popsicle moulds (the kind that makes 6 or 8 popsicles) leaving approx. 1/4 inch at top then place lids on top.
Freeze until frozen (usually overnight).
Tip: The easiest way to get a popsicle out of the mould is to run it under hot tap water for approx. 5-10 seconds.
