There is never a shortage of ice cream in our household. It’s a staple. Ben’s favorite is vanilla and mine is one with every conceivable cookie or candy packed in. In an effort to keep marital bliss alive and well, we compromise and often come home with chocolate chip mint. It’s one of my favorites, and always refreshing. And it was most definitely time to make them into a homemade pop with greek yogurt and get a little added protein, and less sugar in our dessert than our traditional ice cream treats. Bikini season here I come! Except, I don’t do bikinis. But I do do health. So, yeah!

Ingredients for Chocolate Chip Mint Greek Yogurt Pops

• Vanilla Greek Yogurt
• Milk
• Vanilla Extract
• Mint or Peppermint Extract
• Sugar
• Mini Chocolate Chips
• Green Food Coloring
• Chocolate Magic Shell
• Popsicle Sticks

Dairy is a vital part of Ben’s and my daily routine. It is. As much as I lament his routine eating habits, he’s steadfast in one thing – his glass of milk every evening, and we each have greek yogurts as a snack every day at work. We choose greek yogurt because of the high protein content, averaging twice as much protein as traditional yogurt. It keeps me full when I’m watching the clock and waiting for lunch time! I’m nothing if a routine eater myself!

June Dairy Month is a time to celebrate America’s dairy farming families, who provide us with healthy, wholesome dairy foods. Do you remember that time I went to Ohio to visit producers first hand? Well, did you know: Ohio’s dairy cows on nearly 2,800 family-owned dairy farms in Ohio produce more than 630 million gallons of milk, ranking the state 11th in dairy farming.

That is truly something to be proud of. The best way to thank the men, women, and families behind your food, is to make sure you are eating and drinking your daily allowance of dairy a day. And if you get a chance, hug a cow, and thank a producer.  Join with my friends and I to share your love of dairy and get inspired with wholesome, protein packed creations.

FAQ

Can I use something other than sugar?

For extra sweetness you can add in honey if you don’t want to use a white refined sugar. Maple syrup is also a good substitute, but give it a try, because maple is a distinct flavor, but 

Can I use Fat Free Greek Yogurt?

Yes, you can but it will not be quite as creamy as using a whole milk  or full-fat Greek Yogurt.  If you want to, you can also use a dairy-free Greek-style yogurt if you want, but I have not tried this so please let me know if you try that! If you prefer using vegan style yogurts for healthy dessert recipes, you can! See what works best for your diet. 

How can I make Chocolate Magic Shell? How is it different than melted chocolate?

Chocolate magic shell at home is one of my favorite things. It can be remelted easily and will always harden to a crack on ice cream. Just melting chocolate doesn’t give it the same cooling and hardening effect, so it won’t have the same satisfying bite or crack on those hot summer days.  And you can totally use dark chocolate if you want for that slightly bitter chocolate crunch.
