It’s always nice to know that there’s something sweet and healthy in your freezer which you can enjoy any time of the day, isn’t it? These minty Greek yogurt fruit popsicles are low-fat, with a good amount of protein and probiotics, and with a delectable and sophisticated (dare I say!) flavor due to the combination of mint and cinnamon. In addition, they’re so easy, even my 11 years old niece can make without any problem!

Just make sure that you use real yogurt (not the kind that thickens with gelatin) to get as many probiotics as possible. The yogurt is sweetened with some honey, while the fruit became a homemade low-sugar jam (but a low-sugar store-bought one is just as good!).  And if you have any friends or family members who can’t eat dairy, or you just want another healthy and delicious popsicle recipe in your arsenal, then you need to check these tahini and chocolate fudge popsicles!…
