In Houston, spring is basically a slightly less hot version of summer, so we whip out our cool treats a little earlier here.
Last year, Harper was teething a lot and it was blazing hot out so I wanted to find a cool treat for her that was sweet but didn’t have a ton added ingredients.
She was loving plain ol’ Greek yogurt at the time, which I often served to her with berries for breakfast and it gave me the idea to make her home-made frozen yogurt popsicles. They’re so simple to make and they’re a perfect sweet treat for hot days.
To make these, you’ll need:
- A blender
- A popsicle tray (I use this one)
- Fruits or berries of any kind (I used fresh for this batch but you can use frozen too!)
- Yogurt of your choice
- Honey, if you’d like to add extra sweetness
- Milk (optional, if texture is too thick)
As you can see, these get quite a bit of action in our house and it’s almost time to make another batch! The options are limitless— just like with smoothies, you can experiment with different fruits and even add greens to get some extra vitamins in (the kids will never know!)
I hope you’ll get a chance to try this simple treat this spring or summer. I promise your kids will love them as much as Harper does! And you don’t have to worry about enjoying everyday foods and sunny day treats such as these, because Aquafresh® toothpaste protects your teeth from sugar acids and cavities. Aquafresh Sugar Acid Protection delivers the taste/fresh feeling and protects teeth from the sugar acids found in everyday foods, so you can enjoy treats while minimizing their impact on your teeth by brushing twice a day.

Great idea! My kids love popsicles and yogurt so I'm sure this would be a hit. I guess me favorite way to take care of my teeth is to go to my dentist 2x a year. Makes it extra easy as my mom has been the office manager at my dentist for 20+ years. 🙂

I always carry a small, foldable toothbrush and a sample toothpaste. I also carry floss. Brushing and flossing is just part of my routine as I wake up in the morning to eat, drink coffee and pack up as it is in the evening as I eat, set up my tent, brush/floss my teeth and off to bed, just to repeat again in the morning.
