Today I’m sharing with you a recipe I made and shared at The Mother Huddle website. It’s that time of year again to drag out the ice-cream maker and whip up some goodness with strawberries, kiwi’s and limes. Strawberries are always a favorite at our house, my son loves them most. I constantly am thinking of ways to use strawberries like these healthy strawberry yogurt pops or these strawberry cupcakes since we almost always have them in the refrigerator or freezer. I got the idea to make this yogurt from watching the foodnetwork . I made the strawberry yogurt my own by adding kiwi and lime and it gave it a fresher more tangy taste. The fruity yogurt was perfect after a heavy meal since it’s light tasting. If you do decide to make it this recipe make sure you taste the puree to adjust for sweetness. I like things sour but when I first tasted the puree it was really sour, so in came the addition of honey to my recipe. If I would have had fresh mint or basil I would have put that into the fruit as it was macerating to give it another layer of flavor and depth.

Every once and a while I’m lucky enough to be nominated by some fellow food bloggers for blog awards. I’m not great at following up immediately since it’s difficult to brag on oneself but I do want to thank these ladies for thinking of me and giving me the awards. First my friend Amy over at Savory Moments gave me the “Versatile Blogger Award”. Later followed by Soni from Soni’s Food for Thought , she gave me several awards that she has been saving up 🙂 they are the “Happy Blogger Award”, “Kreativ blogger Award”, the “Sunshine blogger Award”, and the “Liebster Award”

Oh I will be making this recipe over the Summer, that’s for sure;-)
it so easy to do Patty you will love it.
I think I will be using this recipe a lot. I’ve been trying to make my kids eat kiwi but to no success. Hidden with strawberries should do the trick. This is rich in Vitamin C! Thanks for sharing!
Yes Ro, the kiwi is even more hidden because of the straining of the seeds, so they will never know!
I love strawberry & kiwi together, this looks so refreshing!
I know right, I love the two together and the lime just adds extra zing.
Love the yogurt – strawberries and kiwi’s go so well together!
I am horrible with awards! I have been given like 3 of them in the last month, but forgot who gave them to me, so I can’t thank them or claim them 🙁
I am too Erin as you can see. Glad you liked the yogurt hope you get to try it out.
argh! i don’t have an ice cream machine! but perhaps i can make frozen popsicles??
Jen, you seriously need to invest in a ice-cream machine, they are the best. But popsicles works too.
I just froze the ice cream maker after making strawberry ice cream. Next time I should try frozen yogurt. I don’t know why I haven’t tried yet (I bougth the ice cream maker at the end of last summer – finally!). Looks really delicious. It’s been hot in SF Bay Area, so this will be very nice!
Yes, you should Nami, I think your kids might like it.
This looks incredibily delish! I need to make frozen yogurt! I love the kind you buy from Yogurtland but to make it at home, I am sure it would be even better. Thank you for the shout out. It is so fun to see all of the creative ways people are using strawberries! Hope you have a wonderful day!!
Oh I love the Yougurtland stuff. Your welcome for the shout out 🙂
