Mixed Berry Smoothie Pops

It’s a smoothie on a stick!

Nothing could be better or more portable!

These delicious popsicles start with mixed berries–the ones sold as “mixed berries” in the frozen food section. They are generally blueberries, red raspberries and blackberries. Of course you can substitute fresh if you wish, but do at least partially freeze them.

I used whole milk greek yogurt and whole milk here. If you use lower fat varieties, then you really should add the 1/4 cup of cream–especially if using non-fat products because you’ll end up with a solid block of berry ice. OK, that will taste all right but you’d be missing some textural sensation here.

The milk is in a range. You want the mixture to be pretty thick, but NOT like soft-serve ice cream. Start with the lower amount and add as necessary until the consistency is that of partially melted ice cream or sherbet.

I like things like this with a bit of sweetness, so I add a bit of sugar. You can leave this out if you wish or use other natural sweeteners to your taste.

Here is the molds I use and I use a Ninja to prepare the mixture.
