It’s been really hot here, and I don’t take the heat very well. Never have, never will. I’m fine when it is nice and warm, but I don’t like scorching heat when the house gets too hot and it seems hard to breathe. All I want then is a nice swim in a pool or lake; or some shade, a lounger, a book and something cool to drink or eat.  The other day I decided to do something I haven’t done since my daughter was a child…I made homemade strawberry popsicles.
It seemed like a logical thing to do. It was hot, and I had California strawberries to use up, and I had just got my greedy little hands on some lovely sweet local strawberries. I poked in the cupboards and found the popsicle moulds.
These were extremely simple…I chucked just over a cup of sliced strawberries, half a cup of plain yoghurt and a tablespoon of honey into my Magic Bullet Blender. I whizzed it for a few seconds, then poured it into the popsicle moulds. Four hours in the freezer and I had 8 lovely, slightly tangy, strawberry popsicles. Two of them is less than 1 Weight Watchers point, so I have no guilt about eating them.
I’m going to experiment a bit when I finish these. I think lemonade with frozen blueberries and a splash of vodka might be nice. Or coconut water with chunks of mango…
Any suggestions?
