What is better on a warm summer day than a frozen treat straight from your freezer? It is even better when you made that treat yourself with strawberries that you picked yourself. Combine a little yogurt and you have a nutritious treat that the kids will love. They will love it even more if you freeze them in a cool molds like the monster molds
I used. My daughter calls them "monster bills"! I like these molds because they come with a stand.
I found a great recipe online from the Wishful Chef. The recipe only has 4 ingredients: strawberries, plain yogurt, lemon juice, and agave syrup. Agave syrup is a alternative to sugar. It's natural, nothing made up in a lab and it has a lower Glycemic index than standard sugar.

Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh strawberries cored and sliced
- 3 tablespoons agave syrup
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice optional
- ½ cup plain yogurt
Instructions
- Simmer the strawberries and agave over medium heat until the berries are soft. You don't want to boil that could damage the flavor, so just simmer.
- Then puree the berries, adding the lemon juice if you like. You can use a food processor, but I find that my immersion blender does the job well and it's less cleaning to do.
- Let the mixture cool in the fridge, before adding the yogurt.
- Put into your mold and freeze until solid. The time it takes depends on the size and shape of the mold.
Notes
The amount of pops this will make just depends on the size of your molds. I ended up with 4.
