Being sick really throws your week for a spin when you had everything planned out, especially before a holiday weekend. Luckily, I have (almost) fully recovered and cannot wait to spend some time down at the beach celebrating a fun Memorial Day weekend. It has been way too long since I was last down at the beach house and I cannot wait to get my toes in sand and get back out in the ocean for some paddleboarding! So to get you in a festive beach - I mean Memorial Day Weekend celebration here is a great patriotic dessert thanks to the entertaining goddess Martha Stewart.

Ingredients
  • 1/2 pound strawberries, hulled and quartered (1 1/2 cups)
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 pound blueberries (1 1/2 cups)
  • 1 1/4 cups low-fat plain yogurt

Directions
  1. In a food processor, puree strawberries with 1 tablespoon sugar then transfer to a small bowl. 
  2. Next puree blueberries with 1 tablespoon sugar. 
  3. For your final layer whisk together yogurt and 2 tablespoons sugar in a separate bowl. 
  4. Pour the 3 mixtures, making sure to alternate colors, into ten 3-ounce ice-pop molds, making 3 to 5 layers in each. With a skewer or thin-bladed knife, swirl mixtures together in an up-and-down motion. Insert ice-pop sticks and freeze until solid (2 1/2 to 3 hours or up to 1 week).

You now have some delicious red, white and blue (& healthy) patriotic treats just in time for this weekend's Memorial Day celebrations. What are your plans for this Memorial Day Weekend?
