I saw this idea from Annily Green on Pinterest yesterday and HAD to try it! Immediately! :-)
So last night at the grocery store I picked up this four-pack of strawberry yogurt singles, came home, poked in the four popsicle sticks and popped them in the freezer. (Annie used spoons, but the popsicle sticks worked great!)
This morning I had toasted English Muffin Bread for breakfast...mmmmm can't get enough of that stuff...and completely forgot about my yogurt treats in the freezer.
About 10:00am my internal "I need a snack" alarm went off and I went in search of something to feed the need. After several minutes of unsuccessful foraging in the kitchen I remembered the frozen morsels waiting for me in the freezer! I separated the cups, dipped one in some warm water for 5 to 10 seconds, slipped off the plastic cup and snack time was ON!
What I LOVE about this frozen treat:
They're FROZEN...duh! I am such a sucker for just about anything (within reason of course!) frozen! I love frozen grapes, bananas, cookies, candy bars, etc, etc, etc .......and now YOGURT!
They are the PERFECT SNACK SIZE! I chose the Activia yogurt singles because they were 4 ounces each instead of the 6 ounces that most of the other brands are. It really was the perfect size. Although I don't think 2 more ounces would be too bad. :-)
They're EASY and ECONOMICAL, yet still seem like a bit of an indulgence.
Oh....and they're DELICIOUS!
Anyway...these made my mouth and tummy so happy...I just had to share! Enjoy! :-)
This is a fantastic idea! I always pore yoghurt into iceblock makers this would be alot faster and easier :D I follow your blog would love you to check out my blog and follow back :D

ReplyDeleteI'm always on the lookout for portable protein. This is just PERFECT. I can haul them to work and stash them in the freezer. In summer when we work on the loading dock it will be an incredible treat. THANKS! BTW in case you didn't know I'm in love with your blog.

I am quickly becoming obsessed with these! I bought the blueberry ones today! YUMMMMMMM!
ReplyDeleteAgain ....YOU ROCK!
ReplyDeleteSince individual small packages of yogurt can be soooooo expensive. I would buy them ONCE, then SAVE the small containers and REuse them and fill with yogurt from the 1 litre containers. WOULD SAVE SOOOO MUCH MONEY :)
ReplyDeleteI think this is a great idea, but do you know if freezing the yogurt kills the live active yogurt cultures? Just curious. Love your site btw!!
ReplyDeleteIt does kill the live cultures from what I have read. But its still a healthy treat ...
ReplyDeleteIf you freeze yogurt, it kills some live cultures, but there are billions in a yogurt container. They simply become dormant and are reactivated once eaten or thawed.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this great idea! I cannot wait to try it.
