Who says frozen treats are only for dessert? These healthy breakfast popsicles prove otherwise.I scream, you scream, we all scream—for something different for breakfast. When it’s hot outside (or even when it’s not), a steaming bowl of oatmeal might not be what you are looking for to fuel up for the day. Here are eight breakfast popsicles that use familiar morning ingredients like fruit, yogurt, granola, and chia seeds in new ways. Bring on the brain freeze.
1. Blackberry, Banana, and Oat Breakfast Popsicles
#popsicles #foraging #blackberries #icelollies #frozen #breakfastpopsiclesThink of these as the frozen version of overnight oats. Food and travel author and blogger Kate Hackworthy of @kateveggiedesserts loves surprising her kids with unexpected breakfasts. This one makes use of foraged blackberries blended with almond milk, oats, banana, honey or maple syrup, vanilla, and yogurt for a gluten-free way to start the day.

2. California Strawberry Breakfast Popsicles
Want to win points with the kids (and maintain your super mom status)? Make these California Strawberry Breakfast Popsicles! @castrawberries Breakfast popsicles are a BIG thing in our house come those warm summer months and are such a nutritious fun way to feed the family (at any time of day really!). The kids feel like absolute rebels and I’m a happy camper knowing they are eating something so nutritious! We made these beauties with fresh California strawberries which also make a perfect healthy snack for the family (8 strawberries = a serving, which has only 50 calories, fiber and more vitamin C than an orange!). They are in peak season and readily available right now, and make such a great snack for workouts, school lunches or those long road trips to the cottage. What is your favourite way to eat California strawberries? Have you made breakfast popsicles for the family before? Would love to hear if you try these out! Here is our recipe: 1 cup sweetened vanilla Greek yogurt or vegan vanilla yogurt 1 cup sliced California strawberries, hulled ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk 1 tsp. lemon juice ½ cup granola In a blender, combine 2/3 cup Greek yogurt, strawberries, almond milk, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth. Pour the mixture into popsicle molds and place in the freezer until partially set, about 1 hour. Remove popsicles from the freezer and top with 1-2 tablespoons of granola. Layer on remaining Greek yogurt until popsicle molds are full and insert the popsicle sticks. Return to the freezer for another 4-6 hours or overnight. #snackon8 #strawberry #BreakfastPopsiclesDon’t use up all of those sweet ruby-hued summer strawberries as slices on top of your cereal or yogurt in the morning—save some of them for these popsicles. Dietitian and cookbook author Tori Wesszer of @fraichenutrition whips these up with ripe strawberries, Greek yogurt, almond milk, and lemon juice layered with granola and even more Greek yogurt (gotta get that protein fix).
