Blueberry Yogurt Smoothie Recipe

Prep time: 05 Mins

A very easy and healthy recipe to prepare blueberry yogurt smoothie and ice pops.

Ingredients

1/2 Cup Blueberries
1/2 Can Pear Halves In Heavy Syrup (An 8.5 Ounce Can Has 4 Halves, So I Used 2 Halves)
1 Cup Non Fat Plain Yogurt (I Did Not Have Low Fat Vanilla Yogurt In Hand, Which Was Specified In The Original Recipe)
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Essence (If Using Plain Yogurt)
1 Tablespoon Maple Syrup Or Any Other Sweetener, Optional

Instructions

Now you have a delicious blueberry smoothie. I also added a tablespoon of maple syrup.

Alternatively you can pour this mixture in an ice pop mold. The mold which I have has marking until which the liquid has to be filled.

How to remove the ice cream pop from the mold?

Insert the mold in warm water for a couple of seconds or show it under running water in the kitchen sink and place it on the counter. Within a couple of minutes the ice pops will slip out of the molds without any fuss.

My Notes:

I tasted the smoothie and found that it was not sweet enough, so I added some maple syrup (which I bought in the orchard) before pouring the mixture in the mold.
Since I used only half the quantity of blueberries, I think I did not get the vibrant purple color pops as featured in the magazine.
For the above measurement I got 4 pops and the remaining half a cup of smoothie was devoured by me. My son did not like the smoothie, but he was all excited when I gave him the ice pops. The same thing happened when I prepared Raspberry Lemonade also. He did not like the lemonade but he enjoyed the raspberry pops very much.
