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.

directions:
1. In a blender, pour all the ingredients and blend on high for 30 seconds. The mixture should be evenly but coarsely blended with some cherry bits swirled throughout. For a smoother texture, continue blending to your taste.
2. Pour the mixture into molds, insert handles, and place in the freezer. If using sticks, insert them after 15 minutes or when the mixture is firm enough for them to stand upright. Freeze until solid, 4 to 5 hours minimum.
