Frozen Fruit Pops
A summertime (or anytime in Louisiana!) treat
Serving Size: 1 fruit pop
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients:
8 ounces crushed pineapple
1 cup (8 ounces) lowfat fruit-flavored yogurt
6 ounces frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
4 wooden sticks
Directions:
Mix the ingredients in a medium-size bowl. Pour into 4 paper cups.
Freeze about 60 minutes, until slushy. Insert a wooden stick half way through the center of each fruit pop.
Freeze until hard or at least 4 hours. Peel away the paper cup before you eat the fruit pop.
Note: You can mix ingredients and freeze in ice cube tray instead of cups, making great "ice cubes" in fruit juice. Try other fruits or juice concentrates for variety.
