Strawberry Frozen Yogurt Popsicles

Happy Canada Day!! 

Today I have another pretty simple recipe. It involves really only 3 ingredients, if you use the rice syrup as a sweetener (or something different if you prefer, like honey or maple syrup or even white sugar). I left the strawberries unsweetened, as mine were pretty sweet anyway. I added one and a half tablespoons of rice syrup to the frozen yogurt layer, just to make it a little less sour (for the kids).

My nieces and nephew were over this weekend and tried them despite my warnings that they were sour, and they loved them.

Plus they look kind of festive for Canada Day and only take a few hours to freeze.

My daughter mashed our strawberries with a potato masher but you could puree them if you want to in a blender or food processor.

I love that this is an easy and fairly healthy treat for summer that only take 3 ingredients and no special tools if you choose to go by hand like we did. I hope you like it too.

Have a great Canada Day!! If you're in the U.S. have a great July 4th on Saturday!

Happy Summer!
