With summer shining on us, I know many are seeking to stay cool. Here is a great treat you and the family can enjoy. Not only do they taste good, you are honoring your temple & setting a good example with a healthy treat !

Yogurt Popsicles

1 cup plain yogurt, 1 banana, sliced, 1 tsp. vanilla, 1 cup fruit juice or fruit chunks.

Directions: Blend ingredients together ( I use my Bullet, quick! ) and pour into small paper cups. Put in the Freezer.  When Half frozen place a plastic spoon or a Popsicle stick in each cup.  To serve, turn the cup upside down and run hot water over it till the popsicle slips out.  (it only takes a moment or you can just peel off the paper cup)  If you did the hot water method, Keep your cups as a holder…the little ones are sometimes slow on eating their popsicles and you can drop it back in the cup and finish it off with your spoon.  In a hurry, you can buy drinkable yogurt and freeze it the same way.

So why pay for ready made…do it yourself, get more bang for your buck, & your tummy will love you for it. Check out these sites for the benefits of the ingredients in these popsicles. Interesting info.

And the best benefit of all: my Verse of the week: 1 Corinthians 6: 19-20     “Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body”  smile

Shalom Shabbat !
