Raspberry Mint Low-Fat Popsicles
I received a gift card to offset the expense of my ingredients. By posting this recipe I am entering a recipe contest sponsored by the California Milk Advisory Board and am eligible to win prizes associated with the contest. I was not compensated for my time.
We are a household that adores, nay, obsesses over ice cream and frozen treats. So much so that I can't really keep ice cream in the house because someone (it's not the fur children, so I think we all know what that means) will maul it. But when I had some Williams Sonoma cash to spend, I found these popsicle molds calling my name. Think of the possibilities! Think of the frozen goodies! And of course I jumped at the chance to use them ASAP. This recipe for low-fat frozen popsicles filled with raspberries and mint is a super easy way to lighten up a tempting dessert. It's a go-to for brides who want the sweet, but healthy option without the extra junk in a packaged product!
California Dairy products (sold all over, not just in CA!) are packed with protein to keep you full and also have calcium benefits. And while calcium is important for healthy teeth and bones, the B vitamins and protein in milk as a whole are absolutely the bomb dot com for your metabolism and building healthy hair. Dairy is pretty cool.
