This is something I learned in Germany; I thought it was such a cool idea and seemed like something you all would enjoy, so I decided to share it...

For a cheap cold treat, take a single-serve yoghurt and stick a popsicle stick in through the foil cover (if it's got a plastic lid as well, take that off first). Stick it in the freezer for a few hours so it can get hard (I waited about 5 hrs), then pull it out of the container for a frozen yoghurt popsicle! You'll probaby have to run the container under hot water to get it to loosen up, and the smaller yoghurts are probably better; we've only got big ones in the house right now, and it's a bit top-heavy and hard to eat all at once. It's a really fun treat; cheaper (and probably healthier) and much more fun than going out for ice cream or frozen yoghurt!  :)

we used to just stick the yoghurt in the freezer and then eat it with a spoon once frozen.  This is a great idea too!

Mmm that sounds good.  And healthy too!  A lot better than the Mc Donald's hot fudge sundaes I've been eating way too much of as of late...

Ooh, I like the way this sounds and it seems sooo simple. I can't wait to try it. Thank you.  :P

Oh how fun! We buy yogurt ...(out right now)... but this will be something to look forward to :)

Love the idea. I must try this out sometime. It'd probably be a nice breakfast snack when it's hot out.

Fun idea!
Do you think that would work for other things like applesause or jello?
I'm not a big fan of yogurt.

Definitely applesauce! Or applesauce works nicely if you don't let it completely freeze. You can freeze it partially in a ziploc, squish the ziploc, and eat it like a thick slush.

Ohhh, sounds good. Didn't think of slush. Heathly and yummy to boot. We'll beat the fast-food world yet.  ;)

Frozen grapes.

Frozen chocolate -- oops! we were talking healthy food -- but I've heard chocolate is good for you ;D

Frozen Snicker bars!  (The heck with healthy!)

Since we are on the topic of yogurt and other frozen goodies, everyone should try gelato! :)  It has the consistency of ice cream, but it has less fat and sugar in it.

Those frozen snicker bars sound really good as well!

god i loved those (well it must have been over ten years ago since i ate my last one)!! i loved frozen twix and bounty too.  :D
i used to eat those after horse riding. god i miss that too  :'(

When biking all day, a frozen Snicker bar is a great energy bar!  For my most favorite frozen treat, I love Italian Ice (being lactose intolerant, yogert and ice cream are not on my favorite list).

Don't forget frozen peas and corn. My favorite snack as a kid.

Why is it everything tastes better frozen?

That apple-slush (hah! New phrase!) sounds yummy too.

Cranberry slush is yummy and very similar to Italian Ice.  You mix cranberry jello, cranberry juice, and frozen lemonade with a bit of water then put in the freezer.  (a bit of vodka can make it interesting as well!).  Scoop it into a glass with some 7up or Sprite and it makes a great slushie!

(If anyone need the specific recipe, let me know and I will dig it out - with or without the vodka!  8) )

Oh how yummy! Please post the recipe (with or without vodka) :)

That sounds soooo good BB!  Post, post the recipie!

Hope you've gone digging BB.  I'm looking forward to Cranberry Slush

FOUND IT!

Cranberry Slush

1   3oz pkg of cherry or cranberry Jello
1   12oz can frozen lemonade - thawed
1   12oz can frozen orange juice - thawed
2    cups Cranberry Juice like Ocean Spray
2    cups vodka

7up/Sprite to be mixed with frozen slush

Dissolve jello in 2 cups boiling water.  Add remaining ingredients.  Mix well.  Pour into 4 or 5 qt plastic pail, cover and put in freezer.

Spoon slush into glasses and fill with 7 up.

I have also made this without the vodka - by increasing the Cranberry Juice from 2 to 3 cups.

This is a great summer cooler, or Christmas holiday drink.   Just watch out - the vodka sneaks up on you!   ;D

Oooooooooo - you guys always make me hungry.  And I DO love anything yogurty ...g

I tried this lastnight and it was really goooooooooood!!!! 8)
