Kids will think these fruit popsicles are a treat, but they are also a healthy snack. Made with just yogurt, fruit and a touch of honey, these popsicles are sweet and refreshing. I made these popsicles with strawberries and pineapple, but you can use your favorite kinds of fruit.

If you’ve never made homemade popsicles, I’ll show you that it’s not difficult at all. There are just a few easy steps to get your popsicles made and in the freezer.

These homemade popsicles are a great snack or dessert on a hot day! Since they’re made with fruit and yogurt, you can even serve them for breakfast.

How to Make Popsicles

This recipe requires a blender or food processor. If you are a kid, be sure to ask an adult to help you.

To make this recipe, first put the strawberries and pineapple in the blender. Blend until the fruit is a smooth puree.

Next, in a small bowl, stir together the yogurt and honey. Add the yogurt mixture to the blender and use a spoon to stir it up a little bit. If you want to see swirls of fruit and yogurt in your popsicles, only stir the yogurt in partially. If you mix the yogurt in all the way, your popsicles will be a solid color instead of swirled.

Carefully pour the fruit and yogurt mixture into popsicle molds. I used these popsicle molds. If you don’t have popsicle molds, you can use small paper or plastic cups instead.

If your popsicle molds have a slot to hold popsicle sticks, you can put the sticks in right away. If not, freeze the popsicles for two hours and then put the sticks in. You will want to freeze your popsicles for six hours total before you eat them.

How to Remove Popsicles from Molds

Once your popsicles are completely frozen, you will need to take them out of the molds before you can eat them. You can let the popsicles sit on the counter for about ten minutes, or until they loosen enough to take out the popsicles. If you can’t wait – I know I never can! – you can run some cool water on the outside of the popsicle molds until the popsicles will come out. Just don’t use hot water because that will melt the popsicles too much.

Once you’ve removed the popsicles from the molds, you can store them in a sealed ziploc bag in the freezer if you aren’t going to eat them all right away.

Tips for Making Fruit and Yogurt Popsicles

• Some popsicle molds (like this popsicle mold that I have) come with sticks, which is pretty handy. If you need to use wooden popsicle sticks be sure to buy food safe popsicle sticks.
• Mix the yogurt into the fruit mixture only a tiny bit, otherwise, the popsicles won’t be as pretty and swirly.
• You can make these with other kinds of fruit. Try berries such as blueberries or raspberries, or try peaches or mango.
• Instead of plain Greek yogurt, you can also use vanilla yogurt. If you are using a flavored yogurt you may want to leave out the honey.

Notes

You may use vanilla Greek yogurt instead of plain. If you use flavored, sweetened yogurt you can omit the honey.

If you search for cinnamon toast recipes, you’ll find that some recipes say to cook cinnamon toast in an oven or skillet. This recipe is easy for kids to make because it uses a toaster instead.

Cinnamon toast is buttery bread with cinnamon and sugar. This cinnamon sugar toast has a small crunch, but not too much and it is really good. You can eat this cinnamon toast for breakfast or a snack. It can also be a little treat after school.

My mom used to make this cinnamon toast for me. Now I make it by myself!

How to Make Cinnamon Toast

First, get two slices of bread and put them in the toaster. Check your toaster setting so you do not burn your bread. I like to use whole wheat sandwich bread for a healthy cinnamon toast. Once the bread slices are toasted the way you like them, take them out of the toaster.

Spread the warm toasted bread with butter. The butter will start to melt into the bread. Next, sprinkle the bread with cinnamon and sugar and serve.

Tips for Making Cinnamon Sugar Toast

• You should always put the butter on before you put the cinnamon and sugar, otherwise, the cinnamon and sugar won’t stick.
• Toast the bread more or less, depending on how you like your toast.
• You can use more or less butter, sugar and cinnamon depending on your tastes.
• This recipe is easily doubled. Use however many slices of bread you need for the amount of people you are serving.
• Cinnamon toast tastes best when it is warm. Serve immediately, otherwise, the toast will lose its crunch.

What to Serve with Cinnamon Toast

You can serve fruit with cinnamon sugar toast. Try strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, mango, apple, peach, or pineapple. Pair cinnamon toast with my easy yogurt bowl for breakfast.

I love this yogurt bowl because even a kid can make it. It only has four ingredients and no cooking is required. It’s made with simple ingredients that you probably have in your kitchen.

I used plain Greek yogurt in this yogurt bowl. Greek yogurt is thick and creamy and has more protein than regular yogurt. You can use your favorite kind of yogurt.

You can eat this yogurt bowl for breakfast, you can use it as a side dish for lunch, you can make it for a snack, or you can enjoy it as a healthy dessert.

How to Make a Yogurt Bowl

To make a yogurt bowl, you start by putting some yogurt into a small serving bowl. I usually use plain Greek yogurt, but you can use different kinds of yogurt such as flavored yogurt. Try to choose a yogurt that doesn’t have a lot of added sugar.

Next, you add honey, then blueberries, and then graham cracker. I like to crumble the graham cracker into small pieces before adding it to the yogurt bowl. You could also use graham crackers for dipping.

For the honey, you should drizzle it on right after you put in the yogurt, otherwise, your graham cracker will get soggy.

You can adapt this recipe to make it your own. Here are some suggestions.

Tips for making Greek yogurt breakfast bowls

• Instead of blueberries you can use another kind of berries such as raspberries, strawberries or even blackberries.
• To sweeten, you can use maple syrup instead of honey.
• If you use sweetened yogurt, you may want to leave out the honey in this recipe.
• For the graham cracker, if you don’t like the regular kind, you could use cinnamon or chocolate graham crackers. You can also use granola instead of graham crackers.
