Blueberry Yogurt Breakfast Popsicles by Diverse Dinners

 

I enjoy a blueberry yogurt breakfast popsicle, sat on my rooftop at the beginning of the day, when I have the luxury of time to sit and contemplate. After an invigorating shower, I go upstairs and sit facing the skies, and decide on what I need to concentrate on for the day, which is usually A LOT!

Blueberry yogurt breakfast popsicles are so easy to make, you’re going to be reaching for your popsicles mould on a regular basis, so feel free to experiment. If you’re concerned about your sugar intake, skip the jam and add more blueberries, or another sweet to bite variety of berry. Whatever you do with this recipe, remember to take some time to sit back and enjoy.
