Super Toddler Blueberry Popsicles

Tilly and Isla enjoy a blueberry popsicle

Well its been a while. 2010 turned into a great year. I had Kit Heaney Taylor in October but had 5 months of full on "morning" sickness, which carved a pretty great big whole in the year. Had a fabulous home birth and have been enjoying settling into a family of 4.

Matilda Taylor turned 2 on 16th January 2011. Granny was over for a visit and left on that day so we had a low key birthday on the date. We went to see Wind in the Willows at the botanical gardens in Sydney, the day before. Tilly was enthralled by it. I thought it was a bit too long but she loved it.



I was given Jude Blereau 's Wholefood for Kids cookbook for Christmas and have already enjoyed making things which Tilly either likes; says "Don't want it" (I can try that again soon) or "I don't like it" (probably off the menu for a few months, perhaps forever). I made the blueberry popsicles and she loved them and sounds super cute when she asks for a "popickle, please".

Easy to make and good for them too.

Jude says - yoghurt provides beneficial bacteria, coconut cream offers quality fats and blueberries are packed full of antioxidents - you don't need to be worried about the effects of these healthy frozen pops.

Just don't tell them they are healthy!

Ingredient:

Makes 8 x 100ml popsicles

375 ml yoghurt
125 ml coconut cream
1 banana
1 tablespoon honey
230 g frozen blueberries (this makes them cheaper unless you are using organic)

Place yoghurt, coconut cream, banana and honey into blender and process until smooth and frothy. Pour half into small jug and set aside.

Add blueberries to remaining mixture and blitz to smooth and fluffy.

Divide the plain banana mixture between the popsicle moulds and then fill to the top with the blueberry mixture. Place in freezer until set. Will keep for 4-5 days.

I forgot to separate and just put everything in to the blender and blitzed it. You can see from the photo. It seemed fine, perhaps not as aesthetically pleasing. I didn't have any honey so I used maple syrup and Tilly ate the last one 7 days after I made them and seemed to enjoy it just as much without any dodgy effects. Hope your little ones life them too.
