Blueberry Ice Cream Bars

For the last few weeks Zachary has been bugging Jake to make ice cream with him because he got the new popsicle molds. I had just happened to be watching Food Network this past Saturday and Jamie Deen was making things for a camp out with his son. He made these ice cream bars. They are easy to make and pretty healthy. The recipe called for strawberries but my sister has a lot of blueberries and all the kids like them...yes even Jake.

Zach and Jake took 2 cups maybe a little more blueberries put them in a bowl tossed them with 1/3 cup sugar (I am sure splenda or truvia could be used) and 1 tsp vanilla. They let it set for about 20 minutes so the juices would come out. To a blender or food processor add the blueberries with all the juices in the bowl and 1 cup of vanilla yogurt(they used about 2 cups to make it creamier). Puree until completely smooth. Divide between 6 popsicle molds, place in the freezer for 4 to 6 hours, they left them in the freezer overnight. They were very yummy.

Zach was very proud of what he got to make with Jake.
