Black Cherry Yogurt Ice Pops

This is my version of a Push-up pop, only better. Push-ups were one of the only desserts my mom would let me have when I was little because they were slightly healthier than the other options and resembled frozen yogurt.
This is definitely an upgrade in terms of pure, real ingredients. Cherries have been shown to have great antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. I hope my mom approves of this recipe. And it’s so easy, you’ll feel like you’re cheating.
