Notes

With a little imagination, you can cool down with homemade frozen pops! This recipe is fun, simple, and requires few items.

You will need:
An empty ice-cube tray, or small plastic or paper cups to use as molds

Your favorite fruit juice, yogurt, or pudding (You can experiment by making several different flavors.)

Wooden craft sticks or small plastic spoons to use as sticks (If you use an ice-cube tray as a mold, use toothpicks instead.)

A freezer
When you have gathered the items, follow these instructions to make your own healthy, frozen snacks.
Pour either the fruit juice, yogurt, or pudding into an empty mold. If you are using an ice-cube tray, be careful not to overfill each cube. If you overfill the cubes, the pops will be difficult to remove after they freeze. The ice-cube trays should make miniature, bite-sized frozen pops.

Put the mold in the freezer for about an hour.

After an hour, remove the mold from the freezer and test it. The mixture should be firm but not yet frozen. (The liquid mixture will need to be thick enough to keep the stick standing straight up.) If it is still too soft, allow the mixture to freeze for another hour or so. Keep the mixture in the freezer until it is thick enough to support the toothpick, craft stick, or spoon.

When the mixture is firm enough, insert a stick into each frozen treat.

Put the mold back in the freezer and leave it there until the mixture is completely frozen. It may take juice longer to freeze than pudding or yogurt. It might be a good idea to let it freeze overnight.

When the mixture is frozen solid and the frozen pops are ready to eat, remove the mold from the freezer and pop out one delicious frozen treat.

Eat it and enjoy every cold bite!
Be sure you make plenty, because everyone will want to share your yummy frozen pops! It is a good idea to eat these outside, so they don’t drip on the floor and make a mess. This cool treat is healthy, easy to make, and tastes great!
