Summer of Popsicles + Strawberry-Lemon Yogurt Pops

This weekend it was hot enough for the boys to complain about the heat...and request ice cream. For us fog-loving central coasters, that just means it was over 65 degrees.

D had spied these popsicles - Bar Gelato by Naia - when we were at Whole Foods earlier, so, naturally, he asked if we could go back for them. Since we're huge fans of Gelateria Naia, I agreed. We tried the Blood Orange Sorbetto, Burnt Caramel, and Tangelo Sorbetto. I definitely want to try the Blue Bottle Coffee one.

Though we loved them, they are pricey. Really pricey. I decided that we would decree this the Summer of Popsicles and get some molds. While I adore my gelato maker, I'm trying to cut back on our sugar intake.

These were made with fruit that was on the verge of spoiling, lemon juice, and plain yogurt. No sugar! Success.

Ingredients makes 6 small popsicles

1-1/2 C strawberries, destemmed
zest from 1 organic lemon
juice from 1 organic lemon
1/4 C plain yogurt

Procedure
Place all of the ingredients in a blender and create a smooth puree. Pour the puree into the molds and freeze according to instructions. Mine needed to freeze for at least 6 hours.

How have I survived this long without popsicle molds? This former divemaster loves this Zoku Fish Pop mold.* There's a shark, a whale, a puffer, a clownfish, an octopus, and a diver.

*If you can’t find Zoku popsicle molds locally, you can order from Amazon. I've included an affiliate link above. If you are uncomfortable using the link, feel free to go to amazon and search "Zoku fish" on your own!

You're Invited: Take a (Virtual) Hawaiian Holiday with #FoodNFlix

Fall Break, Oahu, October 2017 For June, I am hosting Food'N'Flix , the movie-watching, food-making group rallied by Heather of All Roads Lead to the Kitchen . This week, my older son was supposed to graduate from high school and we were supposed to leave on a family vacation to the Big Island. But, as enter our eleventh week of being sheltered in place to flatten the curve of the coronavirus, all of our summer plans were canceled, including this long-planned graduation trip to Hawaii. Boo. I understand the need to self-isolate. And we are abiding by the social distancing guidelines put in place by our state. But, boo, nonetheless. Oahu, October 2017 So for this month's Food'N'Flix, I chose to open up the field and let all of the food bloggers take a (virtual) Hawaiian holiday. My boys have been to Oahu several times with my parents in recent years as my dad grew up there and wanted to spend some time on the island with his grandsons. Ke...
