Fruity Yogurt*

pop mold set, OR

paper cups and wooden sticks, plus aluminum foil

(try the 'waxy' kitchen-type cups meant to be put in a dispenser; they have cute kid-friendly designs, and are kid-sized).

Directions:
Some of the best and easiest yogurt pops can be made using 'store-brand' or other yogurt that Definitely has a bit of gelatin and food starch added. Sometimes coloring, too; we live in an Imperfect World...but check the label on the pricy pre-made yogurt pops. Are they so "pure?"

If the yogurt has fruit on the Bottom, you will definitely want to stir it up beforehand, but the kind of stuff I'm talkin' about is usually allll stirred up.

You can fill 3-4 Tupperware-type pop molds with one 8 oz. carton of yogurt. Other types of molds may be different.

Or, spoon the yogurt into paper cups. Cover each cup with a piece of aluminum foil, crimping the edges. Pierce the center of the aluminum cover slightly with a sharp knife (adult job...) and insert a wooden stick in each cup.

Freeze molds/cups until frozen solid. Unmold/peel, and Enjoy!

Any frozen yogurt product will change in Texture if frozen too long, so try not to freeze up much more than you intend to use within a week. Besides...like anything, sometimes it's best to "always leave 'em wanting More."

Other suggestions and comments:
I am not sure how the nonfat/artificially sweetened yogurts work as popsicles, especially if stored for a week or more...but this I know: the ones that rhyme with "go play" are grrrreat just popped into the freezer, As Is, and eaten with a spoon, like ice cream! Take them out a bit before you want to eat 'em.

Any yogurt you freeze yourself is Way cheaper than the stuff marketed in Plastic Tubes!...which I hate to pay extra for, just 'cuz the skateboard kids in TV commercials think they are Totally Tubular-Awesome...but that's just me... ;-) As long as the company makes the Other Stuff, too, I'm happy :-)

We froze some 6 oz. yogurts before going camping for a weekend, keeping them in the ice chest, and ooh-lah-lah! Totally cooool!

With these, too, the custard-style/blended type work best, vs. kind labelled "fruit on bottom."

My daughter loves to take a frozen 6 oz. yogurt in a sack lunch or picnic (eaten within a reasonable time, and in Insulated container). The ice-cold yogurt helps keep a sandwich cool, too. There's usually a frozen juice box or 2 in there as well...or frozen seedless grapes (try 'em!)

I have a child who will avoid the water fountain when on field trips, 'cuz she fears she'll be seized with a Serious Need to "go" once the bus is in motion ;-) Frozen grapes, frozen melon...whatever it takes!!! Something with H2O in it!!!
