Cool Summer Treat!

The 4th of July has come and gone, prompting many to exclaim, "So soon?" While some people are quick to flip-flop, others have a hard time accepting the heat. It's time to face the fact that you can look out the window and see the neighborhood kids running through the sprinkler and say, "Hey, it's HOT!" Welcome to Texas weather!

On those days when you get caught short in the heat and start craving the cool, you can pop this great recipe from www.wildblueberries.com on your fridge, and then in your mouth. It provides all the taste with all the nutritional benefits, since it features wild blueberries, a top antioxidant superfruit.

Wild Blueberry Ice Cream Pops

Ingredients

* 1 cup frozen Wild Blueberries
* 1 ounce milk chocolate chips
* 2 cups fat-free vanilla frozen yogurt, softened slightly
* materials: small wooden or plastic sticks

Preparation

Thaw the Wild Blueberries and purée. In a bowl, combine the puréed Wild Blueberries, chocolate and frozen yogurt. Mix thoroughly.

Rinse 6 standard muffin cups with cold water and spoon in Wild Blueberry mixture, dividing it evenly between the cups (silicone muffin cups need not be rinsed first). Place a stick in the center of each “muffin” and freeze until firm, at least 2 hours. 

Until next time, keep it clean - and stay cool out there! :)
