Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries)
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 2 tbsp milk Optional: helps thin mixture if needed
  • 2 tbsp granola Optional
  • 2 tbsp mini chocolate chips Optional

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Food processor Or a blender
  • Measuring cups
  • Measuring spoons
  • Silicone popsicle molds
  • Popsicle sticks (if molds do not include them)
  • Spatula
  • Cooler
  • Ice packs to go in cooler to keep popsicles cold

Method
 

Blend The Berry Mixture
  1. Add the mixed berries, honey, and vanilla extract to a blender or food processor.
  2. Blend until the mixture becomes smooth and the berries are fully broken down.
  3. If the mixture seems very thick, add one or two tablespoons of milk to help it blend more easily.
Combine With Yogurt
  1. Pour the blended berry mixture into a mixing bowl.
  2. Add the Greek yogurt and gently stir until everything is evenly combined.
  3. The mixture should be creamy with a light berry color.
  4. If you want a layered look in your pops, you can lightly swirl the berry puree into the yogurt instead of fully mixing it.
Fill The Popsicle Molds
  1. Carefully spoon the yogurt mixture into the popsicle molds.
  2. Fill each mold almost to the top but leave a little space for expansion as the pops freeze.
  3. If you are using optional toppings like chopped fruit or granola, sprinkle a small amount into each mold before inserting the sticks.
  4. Insert popsicle sticks according to your mold instructions.
Freeze Until Firm
  1. Place the filled molds into the freezer.
  2. Allow them to freeze for at least four hours or until fully solid.
  3. Once frozen, remove them from the molds by running the outside briefly under warm water.

Notes

Greek yogurt works especially well in this recipe because it creates a creamier frozen texture and adds extra protein.
If your kids prefer a sweeter pop, a little extra honey can be added before freezing.
These yogurt pops can stay frozen for up to two weeks in the freezer if stored in an airtight container.
They are also easy to customize. Mango, banana, peach, or pineapple can be blended with the yogurt to create different fruit flavors depending on what your family enjoys.
Because they are naturally cold and refreshing, they are especially nice as a midday beach break snack when kids start getting hot and tired from playing in the sun.
