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 :)
