Summer is the season of frozen treats! Whether you eat sherbet, vanilla ice cream, or a popsicle, any way is good to cool down!

Plus, you’ll eat with no worries knowing you used healthy and fresh ingredients. The Greek yogurt and condensed milk give a rich and creamy texture that remind us of ice cream to these popsicles.
