These Blueberry and Chia Yoghurt Popsicles are the most refreshing way to celebrate spring and are made with seasonal blueberries, greek yoghurt, almond milk, chia and maple syrup.
Spring is finally here and we are going into my favourite time of year – just before it gets sweltering hot – spring brings warn days with a slight cool breeze in the mornings and afternoons.
Perfect popsicle weather! Well, I don’t know who I am kidding because I eat popsicles all year round, but the best part now is that blueberries are in season and are bursting with flavour.
What you need to make these Popsicles
I made these popsicles with fresh ripe blueberries from Checkers, greek full fat yoghurt, almond milk, maple and chia seeds.
You will also need a popsicle mould and sticks to make these – I got mine at Westpack.
They freeze within 2 hours and are the perfect treat or breakfast snack and are low in sugar.
I hope you enjoy this recipe, please tag me if you do decide to make them!
Enjoy and Happy Spring!
