Fruit and Cream Popsicles!

Want a healthy way to cool off and still avoid all the sugary frozen treats at the grocery store?

 

Here's one of our favorites - Popsicles made with fruit and homemade sour cream.  Sour cream gives it that "creamsicle" sort of taste and texture.  Yum.

 

We use our excess strawberries from the strawberry patch, or sometimes blueberries.  Another favorite is orange juice squeezed right from cara cara oranges (found at our local grocery store.)

 

 

Here are the basics:

You'll need:

• About 1 cup of berries of your choice
• About 1 cup of homemade sour cream (recipe to follow - it's easy to make and NOTHING like store-bought.  (I don't think this recipe would be the same with store bought sour cream)
• About 1/2 cup of juice.  We use an antioxidant juice that is blueberry and pomegranate - but you can use any of your choice.
• A small amount of stevia
• A splash of vanilla

Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth.  I always taste it with a spoon before freezing, just to be sure I like the blend.  Then I can add more sour cream or more of the fruit as needed.

Pour into popsicle molds and freeze for several hours.  Enjoy!  These don't last long around here!

Alternate recipe which is Kailyn's favorite:

• 1/2 cup of sour cream
• 1 cup of fresh squeezed-from-oranges juice
• pinch of stevia

Tastes like an orange creamsicle - minus the bad stuff!

Happy Summer!
