Melon-Berry Popsicles

Inspiration: Everyday foods
Prep time: less than 30
freezing time: 2-3 hours
Makes: 6-8 Popsicle

Description: These are fun to make with the kids. They can easily be converted to sugar free. I like the layering effect. When berries are in season play with the different flavors and create some fun shapes. Red White and Blue comes to mind!


Ingredients
1 cup fresh raspberries
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup low-fat plain Greek yogurt
1/2 cantaloupe, peeled, seeded and cut into large pieces (about 2 cups)

Directions:
1. Blend raspberries and 1/3 cup sugar until smooth.
2. Pour through a fine-mesh sieve into a 2-cup measuring cup, pressing on solids. Discard solids.
3. Whisk in 2 Tablespoons yogurt to the berries.
4. Blend cantaloupe with remaining 1/3 cup sugar.
5. Pour through a fine-mesh sieve into another measuring cup, pressing on solids. Discard solids.
6. Whisk in 6 Tablespoons yogurt.
7. Fix 6-8 Popsicle molds halfway with raspberry mixture, then top with cantaloupe mixture.
8. Insert Popsicle sticks and freeze until solid.

Tips and Tricks
A sugar substitute works great for this recipe.
Play with different berries and different layers.
