Vanilla Pear Breakfast Pops

Fruit is often considered essential to a healthful breakfast, and an ice pop is just a fun treat. But what would happen if the two became one? A healthful ice pop? And a fun-filled breakfast food that eats like a treat? If you answered both you win, and so will your kids. Each of these ingenious breakfast pops provides a quarter cup of fruit, along with calcium-rich yogurt. Kids can make them the evening of a slumber party, freeze them overnight and start the next day with both a fun and a nutritious breakfast food.
