Not only are these super easy to make but you can use these easy Freezer Pop Bags | PackFreshUSA in a variety of ways. Why settle for store-bought yogurt treats filled with artificial ingredients and sugar? With a little creativity and a few simple ingredients, you can create delicious, healthy homemade copycat Go-Gurt pops that your kids will love. 

The Beauty of Homemade:

Making your own copy-cat Go-Gurt freezer pops offers a multitude of benefits:

Control the Ingredients: You know exactly what goes into your yogurt treats, avoiding unwanted additives and excessive sugar.

Customize Your Flavors: From classic strawberry to adventurous mango-pineapple, the flavor possibilities are endless.

Adding healthy vegetables in is a definite mom win. Carrots and mango or spinach and blueberries.

Fun Family Activity: Involving kids in the process fosters healthy eating habits and provides a fun, educational activity.

Leave a note: by using a Sharpie you can write on the Freezer-Pop to write what flavor and even leave a note of encouragement and love.

The Yogurt Frozen Treat Basic Recipe:

1 cup yogurt: Choose plain or flavored yogurt based on your preference. Greek yogurt is a great option for extra protein and a thicker texture. (you can use your favorite yogurt)

1 cup frozen fruit: Use your favorite fruits like berries, mango, peaches, or bananas. Frozen fruit adds sweetness and a refreshing, icy texture.

1 - 2 tablespoon honey (optional): Honey adds a touch of natural sweetness, but you can adjust this amount or omit it entirely depending on the sweetness of your chosen fruit.

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions:

1. Blend it: Combine the yogurt, frozen fruit, and honey (if using) in a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy.

2. Pour and Freeze: Pour the mixture into the PackFreshUSA Freezer Pop bags. Leave a little space at the top for expansion.

. Seal the bag: Use impulse sealer or vacuum sealer with the vacuum off. In a pinch I have used a hair straightener

4. Freeze: Freeze for at least 4 hours, or overnight for a solid texture.

5. Enjoy: Remove the yogurt treat from the freezer and enjoy! 

This recipe uses readily available ingredients and is incredibly simple to make. PackFreshUSA: The Perfect Partner: For this project, I highly recommend using PackFreshUSA's Freezer Pop Bags . They come in a variety of vibrant colors - Clear, White and Clear, Gold and Clear, and Silver and Clear - adding a touch of fun to your creation. 

I made the recipe and it made about 4 ½ pops. Since I was making several flavors at once. I created several that were mixed. Make sure you seal the freezer pops with the heat setting from your vacuum sealer or an impulse

Pudding Pops:

Did you know you can also take pudding and make pudding freezer-pops? These are super easy to make using your favorite pudding mixes. I just made some chocolate, vanilla, and butterscotch using instant pudding. You can use the stove-top variety, but let it cool before pouring into the Freezer Pop. But with wonderful flavors like Oreo cookie, pistachio, coconut cream, banana cream, lemon, & cheesecake. I plan on making more with the cheesecake and mix in some preserves like strawberry or cherry would make a wonderful treat or dessert. These pudding pops would also be great for summer. I make the sugar-free pudding mix, since my husband is diabetic but feel free to make your pudding flavor of your choice and enjoy.

Whatever the season, these homemade treats using the Freezer Pop Bags from PackFreshUSA will ensure you have happy kids and adults year around. Homemade yogurt treats like Go-Gurts for school, outings, sports practice, and more are sure to hit the spot.
