I saw this idea from Annily Green on Pinterest and HAD to try it! Immediately! :-)
So last night at the grocery store I picked up this four-pack of strawberry yogurt singles, came home, poked in the four popsicle sticks and popped them in the freezer. (Annie used spoons, but the popsicle sticks worked great!)
This morning I had toasted English Muffin Bread for breakfast…mmmmm can’t get enough of that stuff…and completely forgot about my yogurt treats in the freezer.
About 10:00am my internal “I need a snack” alarm went off and I went in search of something to feed the need. After several minutes of unsuccessful foraging in the kitchen I remembered the frozen morsels waiting for me in the freezer! I separated the cups, ran one under hot tap water for about 10 seconds, slipped off the plastic cup and snack time was ON!
They’re FROZEN…duh! I am such a sucker for just about anything (within reason of course!) frozen! I love frozen grapes, bananas, cookies, candy bars, etc, etc, etc …….and now YOGURT!
They are the PERFECT SNACK SIZE!I chose the Activia yogurt singles because they were 4 ounces each instead of the 6 ounces that most of the other brands are. It really was the perfect size. Although I don’t think 2 more ounces would be too bad. :-)
They’re EASY and ECONOMICAL, yet still seem like a bit of an indulgence.
Oh….and they’re DELICIOUS!
Anyway…these made my mouth and tummy so happy…I just had to share! Enjoy! :-)
I am quickly becoming obsessed with these! I bought the blueberry ones today! YUMMMMMMM!
Thank you for this great idea! I cannot wait to try it.
What a brilliant idea – for those 1 to 100! Can’t wait to make them soon.
Just FYI… Freezing kills the active cultures in the yogurt, so if that is a reason for getting the Activia the cultures are no longer alive. Looks delicious though, and I am certainly going to try it.
I keep reading on my online search that freezing the yogurt does not kill the bacteria, only heat will kill bacteria… I wonder what the truth it…
Keeping it frozen stops the bacteria from growing and spreading. Heating will kill it.
The freezing process does not kill any significant amount of the cultures—in fact, during the freezing process the cultures go into a dormant state, but when eaten and returned to a warm temperature within the body, they again become active and are capable of providing all the benefits of cultures in a refrigerated yogurt product.

Looks fun. I also like frozen peas as a snack on a hot day.

Great idea! Does the frozen yoghurt stay creamy or does it go rock hard?
Unfortunately, the frozen yogurt loses all creaminess and becomes rock hard and icy. Much like an ice cube, which kills it for me. I like it more like ice cream, which as far as I can tell, requires agitation to take place during the freezing stage. Altho, I have had some success with “butter” popsicles… Nutella, almond butter, and such, with maintaining a creaminess instead of turning so icy. Still searching for that “perfect” home made frozen treat from my childhood, the fudgesicle, which I can buy but I want to make. :) I do still have the Daphne Oz fudgesicle recipe to try from The Chew. I made it once before, but think I used the wrong kind of coconut milk, mine wasn’t canned. So, it came out very icy. I’ll have to try it again using the canned coconut milk. :) Suggestions welcomed!
