ever since i made this frozen cheesecake, my head has been spinning with possible popsicle combinations. the options are really limitless. i wanted to whip up something with berries since they are loaded with antioxidants. i added the greek yogurt (full fat, full of protein) to pose as the "cream." together you've got yourself something tasty + healthy on a stick. rachel gave me these popsicle molds years ago and i'm ashamed to say this is the first time said rocket-awesomeness has been experienced!
i made them originally for our fourth of july party, which sadly got rained out. one of my favorite girl friends christy and her son jack came over yesterday morning. after a few hours of catching up and the on-set of tiny attention spans fading, i broke out the rocket pops! matilda and jack loved the frozen goodness and we didn't have any trouble finishing ours either.
i'll never forget sitting on christy's porch pre-motherhood and talking about babies and baby names. here we are six years later with two babies of our own sitting on my front porch eating popsicles.

i was JUST scoping out pop recipes last night and definitely going to try this one! i recently went to nashville and had an avocado pop at las paletas . . . HOOKED!
Those look so good! I loved the Oakton house, by the way! It was beautiful, and the owners were lovely people.
@abby- i love las paletas! my sister used to live in nashville and that was one of her favorite places. the avocado pop sounds luscious!
Aw, we had such a lovely morning with y'all! And those pops were indeed delicious!! Jack's been on a freezing-frenzy since then; wanting me to make him more! Yesterday I made some with frozen blueberries, Greek yogurt, honey and avocado(sshhh).... They were yummy!
Love you! Can't wait to visit again!
