Strawberry Yogurt Pops


The New Orleans team has officially entered the Roku craze. What a wonderful and fun gift!

First off, I would strongly recommend to any new Roku user that reading the directions is important. As I do in my normal day to day life, I didn't read the directions and boy, I should've! My problem solving skills were absolutely put to the test when I created my first popsicle creation, put it in the freezer and waited 9 minutes...only to find it was still liquid! So, if you're a Roku user, you realize that we didn't allow it the 24 hours of freezing prior to use. Oh well, we just left our popsicles in the freezer for 24 hours and they were perfect. :-)

For our first creation, we decided to practice the basics (since clearly we had enough issues with the basics when it came to freezing!) and go with a test run. We used fresh strawberries, strawberry yogurt, orange juice and a little bit of water. A very natural and refreshing treat. See picture above.

To add, Mia is great with adding recipes, but I don't do recipes. I'm a rebel. I just go with what I feel! So if we ever happen to come up with an awesome popsicle, you'll know its always a one of a kind creation.

We are now in the planning phase for our NYE popsicle. More posts to come...

  2. oh dear. i actually derive pleasure from reading the manual. it's so satisfying. thankfully, in this situation, not reading the manual only put you 24hrs behind the rest of us. :-)

  5. It must be a first-child thing because I'm just like Mia in that I can't NOT read the manual or use the recipe! I'm impressed it came out as well as it did--sounds like they're actually healthy and such a pretty color.
