With summer right around the corner, kids (and parents!) are going to be looking for fun projects to fill the long, sunny days. What better way to get kids involved in the kitchen and eating healthy than these berry breakfast pops! They are super easy (and fun!) to make and have no added sugar. A win-win for both parents and kids!
Kids might need some supervision when cooking down the berries over the stove-top. But other than that, they can build their own berry breakfast popsicles, layering and mixing however they want!
Ingredients (makes 12 popsicles)
6 oz California Giant blueberries
6 oz California Giant blackberries
1 lb California Giant strawberries, hulled
1 cup water, divided
32 oz plain Greek yogurt (you’ll only use about half, but you can save the rest for another breakfast recipe)
2 - 4 tbsp honey
2 - 4 tbsp milk
4 cups of your favorite granola
Instructions
In a saucepan over medium heat, add blueberries, 1 tablespoon honey, and 1/3 of the water. Cook until berries break down. Transfer to a bowl to cool. Continue these steps with all of the berries, keeping the different berries in separate bowls. Or, you could mix the berries and cook them all together.
Once berries are cooled, start layering your molds. I used a tablespoon of granola (soaked in the milk so they freeze), a dollop of yogurt with honey, a dollop of berries, and another tablespoon of granola in each popsicle. Insert popsicle sticks and place in freezer for at least six hours, but I prefer to let them sit overnight.
*After making these, I'd recommend starting with a layer of yogurt, then adding the berries and granola, and ending with more yogurt. But feel free to experiment!
