Right, so we all know I’m (somewhat) addicted to sugar and I’ve done my UTMOST to hide this from my children. But it’s Easter, and we all know what that means. Clay can sure recite the story of Jesus and ‘Judith’ to whoever wishes to listen but as soon as those flashy, crinkly, bright foil covered chocolate anythings come near his body, it’s tickets.
If only I had enough energy to make time in my quiet, calm, relaxing afternoons with my boys to collectively and joyfully make our own homemade chocolate in moulds with no spilling, no screaming and no one burning each other. But alas, we don’t, so, having bought possibly the most winning present EVER for the kids for Christmas last year (our ZOKU instant pop maker), I thought I would try my hand at some healthy quick pops this year for Easter and try avoid the chocolate as much as possible. My kids can sense sugar a mile away so I certainly wont be winning entirely.
I found this awesome recipe for Healthy Easter Egg Breakfast Popsicles. Check them out!
So, here’s what you need:
Ingredients:
- 500g yoghurt*
- handful granola/muesli
- handful blueberries
- handful raspberries (… any berries really…)
(*you can use different types of store bought yoghurt (flavoured/plain/greek), or make your own homemade yoghurt using your Wonderbag).
Equipment:
- Egg shaped silicone mould or muffin cups (I’ll use my quick pop maker I think, although these egg shaped silicone moulds are too cute!)
- lollipop or cake pop sticks
Method:
Place a small dollop of yoghurt into each egg in your silicone mould/quick pop maker, filling each egg to about a third. Push chunks of granola into the yoghurt, then add a few raspberries and blueberries to each egg too.
Place a lolly stick into each compartment, laying it down as flat as possible.
Fill each egg to the top with yoghurt, making sure it covers all of the fruit and the lolly stick.
Place mould in the freezer and freeze for at least 2 hours or overnight, until the eggs are frozen through and solid. Once frozen, pop out of the moulds, leave the popsicles on a plate at room temperature for a couple of minutes to soften a little then serve immediately.
Yeeeuuuum. Healthy Easter 101.
