What do you do when you can no longer find great popsicles, that your kids just absolutely love, with no artificial colors or high fructose corn syrup? You make them yourself.
Yep, we're really trying to steer clear of those nasty colors, not always, but more so with foods and snacks our kids eat all the time, like popsicles. Here is a recipe that involves real fruit, Greek Yogurt, and just a wee bit of sugar. You'll find a printable recipe below. Enjoy!
The first step is to add all of your ingredients to a blender; in this case, I used our Ninja. 
I added a banana, peaches, a fruit cup of mandarin oranges, about 1/2 cup of Greek Yogurt, and 1-2 tsp of sugar. I kept the peeling on the peaches, so we locked all those awesome nutrients into these ice pops. Blend everything together, making it into a nice liquidy mixture. Then pour into popsicle molds. I highly recommend this popsicle mold, sold on Amazon; I just recently bought this myself and love it because I can make 10 pops at a time. 
Set your popsicles in the freezer, and leave for however long they need, usually a few hours. Then remove pops from the freezer, and enjoy. 
These have been delicious, and my kids are still enjoying them.

Thanks so much, Raven! If you try it out, I hope you enjoy!
That looks delicious!
Thanks Melissa! My kids are loving them. I kinda like making homemade ice pops myself.:)
These look so yummy! I definitely want to check out those popsicle molds- I’ve been wondering how people get their popsicles in that shape!
Alana, me too. If I remember right, I think I actually found them on another blog, and the author told me where to find them on Amazon. They’re awesome molds; so much better than our old ones that only allowed us to make 4 pops at a time.
I bought them ;) Can’t wait to get them in the mail and try my hand at popsicles before fall hits!
Awesome, Alana!
