Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 to 1½ cups fresh or frozen fruit, chopped
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon or lime juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the fruit: Wash and chop your chosen fresh fruit into small pieces. If using frozen fruit, allow it to thaw slightly so it blends smoothly.
- Blend the mixture: In a blender, combine the Greek yogurt, fruit, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and fresh lemon juice. Blend until smooth but with a few chunks left for texture if you prefer.
- Pour into molds: Carefully pour the creamy mixture into popsicle molds, leaving a little space at the top to allow for expansion during freezing.
- Insert sticks and freeze: Place the sticks in each mold and freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until completely solidified.
- Unmold and enjoy: To release the pops, run warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds, then gently pull on the sticks. Enjoy immediately for the best texture.
Notes
- Use full-fat yogurt for creamier texture and richer taste.
- Don’t over-blend to keep some fruit chunks for added texture and flavor bursts.
- For layered flavors, pour different fruit mixtures in layers before freezing.
- Silicone molds help make unmolding easier and reduce breakage risk.
- Let the pops warm slightly before eating to soften them for easier bites.
- Store leftovers in an airtight freezer-safe container for up to two weeks.
- If no blender is available, mash fruit by hand for a chunkier, rustic texture.
- Flavored yogurt can be used but may alter sweetness and tanginess.
- To keep vegan, use plant-based yogurt and natural sweeteners like agave syrup.
