Homemade Popsicle Recipes

As I mentioned yesterday, one of our fun things to do to keep busy was making homemade popsicles.  We had some watermelon to use up, as well as some Yo Baby Meals - Pear and Green Bean. (This is the only way we can get our child to eat her veggies!)  We ended up making two different flavors of popsicles -- Watermelon and Pear Yogurt Pops!



Homemade Watermelon Popsicles

You will need:
  • Watermelon 
To Make:
  1. Slice desired amount of watermelon and remove seeds.  
  2. Add to blender or food processor and puree.
  3. Fill popsicle molds with mixture and freeze for at least 4 hours.  
Note: If you don't have popsicle molds you could use plastic cups with popsicle sticks.  Or for a fun alternative, freeze mixture in ice cube trays and add frozen watermelon cubes to water for a refreshing drink!



 
 Homemade Pear Yogurt Pops

You will need:
  • 1- 15 oz Canned Pear Halves (2 pears if using fresh)
  • 1- 4oz Yogurt (we used Pear and Green Beans Yo Baby Meals organic yogurt)
  • 2 tablespoons water
To Make:
  1.  Add all ingredients to blender or food processor and puree.
  2. Fill popsicle molds with mixture and freeze for at least 4 hours. 
  3. Smile -- Your kids are eating their vegetables :)
