Skinny Cookies & Cream Popsicles

These popsicles are so smooth, creamy, and decadent that you'll never guess they're only about 100 calories each!

Did I mention they have even have cookies in them? Omy. 

With a three year old in the house, I've always got cookies on hand. While I try to stuff her full of the good stuff, she's a child and they always want what they see other kids with. Namely junk. So, recently I've been buying these new WhoNu? cookies. They come in a varaiety of flavors, but our favorites are the chocolate chip and chocolate & cream sandwiches. She gets what she wants, and I get what I want. Win, win.

I've been wanting to post a recipe using these healthier alternative cookies. Not only do they boast fewer calories, they also have as much fiber as a bowl of oatmeal, as much calcium as a glass of milk, iron, and vitamins A, B, C, D, and E! That's right. 17 essential vitamins and minerals. 

My daughter happened to catch me hobbling around the kitchen yesterday to mix these up and has been asking for her popsicles ever since. I finally had to break down and let her have one for a mid-morning snack today after I was done taking these photos.

The best part? I don't feel guilty about letting her eating them at any time of day!
