Summer time and Popsicles are inseparable. Simple joys of life is what I say! A sense of happiness, coolness, liveliness, and all that goodness bundled on a stick! Not to mention all the pleasing colors and flavors (of your choice) will definitely bring out the happy child in you. As summer holidays kicks in this season, what better way to start treating kids than a healthy fruity popsicle(s)? You may see many such colorful additions on my blog this season.
I am not an ice cream or a popsicle person (yes call me weirdo :)), but I take immense pleasure when I watch people enjoy it! Though these days I have taken a liking for eating Godiva and Magnums ice cream bars a lot!
My kid is a crazy fan of popsicles. Any day better than other calorie loaded sweet treats. So thought of kickstarting it with watermelon berries popsicles. Watermelons have become synonymous with summer and picnics, and for a good reason. Their refreshing quality and sweet taste help to combat the heat and also provide a guilt-free, low maintenance dessert for kids and adults alike to enjoy. One of the easiest treats one can make for their kids :)
So here we go to check the recipe:
Ingredients:
2 cups watermelon roughly chopped
2 tbsp yogurt (dahi)*
1/2 cup berries (took black and blue berries half and half)
2 tbsp honey (or add 1 tbsp sugar as per your taste)*
Preparation:
Blend all the ingredients together. (pour it over a sieve to take out any coarseness or seeds)
Fill 3/4th of the popsicle mold.
Add 4-5 whole blueberries in the molds.
Freeze it for a couple of hours till it is set and ready to eat.
njoY!! happY cookinG!!
notes:* adjust the quantity of honey(sugar) depending on how sweet you want and also the sweetness of fruits that you are using. You can also substitute any ice cream in place of yogurt.
Health Benefits:Watermelon is considered as a nutrient dense food, a food that provides a high amount of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants for a low amount of calories. Watermelon, because of its water and fiber content, helps to prevent constipation and promote regularity for a healthy digestive tract. Made up of 92% water and full of important electrolytes, watermelon is a great snack to have on hand during the hot summer months to prevent dehydration.
Blueberries are believed to contain the highest antioxidant capacity of all commonly consumed fruits and vegetables. Low in calorie and high in nutrients, who doesn't want that in this diet conscious era:) They are so good for our health that just add it in your cereals, pancakes or just munch on it! But get it in your system :)
So sit back and enjoy this yumilicious treat guilt free!
