Our July recipe of the month is Berry Banana Popsicles.  This recipe comes at a perfect time for me as I am trying to stretch my food budget, especially when it comes to snacks (see my blog from last month).  My children need two or three snacks each day and I am trying to cut back on pre-packaged snacks this summer. We are doing …

Berry Banana Popsicles meet my family’s snacking needs for several reasons:

• The children can help make them.  They can cut up the bananas and berries, they can mix everything together, they can pour the mix into popsicle molds or cups, and they can put in the sticks.
• They are filling.  These popsicles are made with yogurt and whole fruit so they will fill up my children’s tummies better than a popsicle made from juice.
• They are easy. I can keep my freezer stocked with homemade popsicles and we can reach for them whenever we need them.

Enjoy!
