Make your own very berry frozen yogurt pops.

Here is a tasty treat that is not only low calorie but tastes great. They are yogurt fruit pops. This is a great way to use the last of your berries or take advantage of the low cost of berries in the market. I always start with FAGE greek no fat yogurt but use any kind you like. FAGE has 130 calories per cup 36% protein so it makes you feel fuller longer. I add Truvia which is a zero calorie sweetener made from the Stevia Plant but use sugar or honey if you’d prefer. Adding blueberries or raspberries will make a frozen yogurt pop wonderfully delicious. You can puree them if you’d like the smoother consistency. You can add cinnamon, chocolate sauce or nuts if you’d like; just make sure you mix it together before placing them into the pop mold. I like to add Naturally Fresh Salad Toppings. I know! WHAT! They have some great roasted and glazed pecan pieces that are yummy with yogurt. Anything you top your yogurt with can go into your frozen concoction. You can keep your yogurt pop around 40 calories but remember the more you add to the mix like sugar, cereal or candy pieces the higher the calorie count so be careful. Have fun and watch out for brain freeze!
