Pineapple Ginger Popsicles

With this hot weather, I'm really not in the mood to cook up elaborate treats, snacks, or really, much of anything. So, we're going with a healthy and frozen treat today! No cooking involved. At all. Woohoo!

After cutting the pineapple I used for a "how to" post, I had some leftover, and I thought the natural sweetness of the pineapple would play well with the exotic spiciness of ginger and the creamy tartness of strained yogurt. Plus, both pineapple and ginger are known for their anti-inflammatory properties. In addition to all that, it's a super simple recipe - just blend and freeze! I'm betting this pineapple ginger popsicle recipe would also make a healthy and yummy smoothie. Just skip the freezing step. :)

Which do you prefer - smoothies or popsicles?
