Popsicles for breakfast

I changed out of my pajamas yesterday just long enough to make a grocery run. A girl's gotta eat, ya know? I had a specific goal in mind: find some popsicle molds and make homemade popsicles. I'd been sifting through dozens of popsicle recipes all day. I was ready to roll.

It's been years since I've made homemade popsicles. I wanted to venture past the Dixie cup and craft stick method. I wanted something a little snazzier. Enter: $3 popsicle molds from Target.

{Not top-of-the-line snazzy, but snazzy enough for this girl.}

To say I was excited about my purchase was an understatement. Giddy would be an accurate description. I love popsicles more than anyone should. I like the idea of making my own and knowing exactly what is in them. I also love not spending excess money, and homemade is far cheaper than storebought. 

I really, really like popsicles. Did you know that? I'm looking into taking most of my meals in popsicle form this summer; I'll keep you posted.

Yogurt Popsicles (recipe adapted from one by Tyler Florence)

3 cups plain yogurt

1 cup fruit

juice from 1/2 lime

Mix everything together in a bowl. Spoon into popsicle molds and freeze. Enjoy!

*I used strawberries and a banana, chopped into tiny little pieces and smushed together a bit. Yum.

*Okay, the plain yogurt needs some work. I like not using flavored yogurt to control the amount of sugar but plain yogurt isn't my most favorite thing on the planet. At all. I added a few splashes of orange juice. The popsicles were really good, but I think my next batch will contain a pinch of sugar or a squirt of honey. You know, just a little somethin' to tone down the taste of the plain yogurt.

*This recipe makes a ton. My mold only makes 4 popsicles at a time, so I have about 1/2 of the mixture sitting in my fridge still waiting to be popsicle-ized. If you don't want lots of them, half this recipe.

*The flavor combinations are endless! I've got all sorts of ideas swirling around in my head. Ready yourself for endless popsicle posts this summer!

{This was breakfast this morning. Good morning, indeed!}
