#812: Frozen Yogurt Berries

Sometimes I come across a recipe that is so simple, I can't figure out how I didn't think of it first.  This is one of those recipes.  Duh, yogurt and berries frozen??  Yes please.  What a great, healthy snack that takes longer to eat because the berries are FROZEN. 

All you need are...berries and yogurt.  You can choose any kind of berries you want (I used raspberries) and any kind of yogurt you have (I had strawberry).  You could use low carb, greek, flavored, unflavored...the possibilities are endless. 

Wash and dry your berries (I used frozen berries so I could skip that step) and roll around in the yogurt to coat.  Place on a parchment lined cookie sheet and freeze.

Next time I'm going to do a combo of blueberries and raspberries. 

#784: Frozen Peanut Butter Treats

Something has got to be inaccurate with this original recipe.  I found it online here, and it claims that it is 1 ww+ pts per serving.  The only thing I did different with this recipe was that I didn't have fat free cool whip, mine was LITE instead.  BUT I used powdered peanut butter so that should have been MUCH less points than if I would have used 3 tbsp of regular peanut butter.  When I figured this out, mine came to 3 ww+ pts each.  (I used mini muffin tins and got 15 out of 1/2 a tub of cool whip). 
Is this worth 3 ww+ pts.  Probably not.  Is it worth 1 ww+ point, YES.  So I need to see if I can figure out if fat free cool whip would make that much of a difference.  If so, I'm totally making these again. 

 
3 Tablespoons Peanut Butter (I used 2 tbsp PB2 powdered peanut butter)

1 small tub Cool Whip Fat Free (I used 1/2 container of Lite Cool Whip)
Mix the Cool Whip and Peanut Butter together.  Spoon into 12 lined cupcake tins and freeze.  (I put it into a Ziploc bag and piped it into each muffin liner).

#622: Nutella Fudgesicles

If you haven't bought/tried Nutella yet, you really, really need to get to your grocery store and buy some right away.  We LOVE Nutella...how could you not, it's chocolate and hazelnuts!  Mmmm!  Love it!  Somehow I stumbled upon this recipe through Pnterest and immediately made it for the girls and I. 

The recipe says to make it with hazelnut chocolate milk, but that was not something I wanted to run around looking for, so I just used regular skim milk.  Didn't make one bit of difference in my opinion.  Super, super yummy popsicles!
For us, this recipe made 6 popsicles.

1 1/2 c milk (I used skim)
1/2 c nutella

Combine in a blender and pour into popsicle molds.  Freeze until firm. 

#615: Pina Colada Popsicles

Oh how I wish I could be sitting with my family on a beach somewhere in the Caribbean drinking a non-alcoholic pina colada.  (I just prefer the non-alcoholic ones because they taste better!).  Since that is not even remotely a possibility anytime in the future (near or far) I'll have to settle for these pina colada popsicles instead. 
The girls and I enjoyed these (although it had a little too much banana taste for my liking).  Regardless, these were good frozen as popsicles or still thawed as a drink.  Yes, I'd definitely make these again.

1 can pineapple chunks, in juice
1 banana (I used 1 1/2)
1 can coconut milk
1/2 tsp. vanilla

Blend in blender until smooth and then pour into popsicle molds and add sticks before freezing.

#287: Mango Fro-Yo Pops

I found this recipe at DisneyFamily.com.  It was easy, quick and exposed the girls to another not-often-eaten summer fruit.  Allison ate the leftover unfrozen mango yogurt with her breakfast so this would be good unfrozen as well!  The girls definitely enjoyed these pops and we will definitely be making this again!!

1 ripe mango diced (flesh only)
1 c non-fat vanilla yogurt 
juice of 1/2 lime (and a few zest scrapings)
2 tbsp sugar
1/4 tsp vanilla

Combine all of the ingredients in a blender and pour into Popsicle molds.  Freeze for 4 hours or more.
