What You’ll Need

Ingredient Notes

• Honey– Acts as a natural sweetener and prevents the pops from becoming too hard and icy.
• Plain Greek Yogurt– Use plain yogurt to maintain natural sweetness and let the fruit flavors shine.
• Popsicle molds– Use any shape you prefer.

Add-ins and Substitutions

• Substitute other fruit- Experiment with fruit combinations like peach and blackberry, strawberry and banana, blueberry and cherry, pineapple and mango, or watermelon and strawberry.
• Use another sweetener- Try agave syrup or maple syrup for natural sweetness.
• Add vegetables- Boost health benefits by adding spinach to your Strawberry Popsicles.
• Add coconut flakes- For a tropical twist, sprinkle some coconut flakes on these delightful treats.

How to Make Strawberry Popsicles

• Blend everything together. Combine pineapple, strawberries, and raspberries in a food processor. Blend until smooth, then add honey and Greek yogurt.

• Freeze the popsicles. Pour the blended fruit mixture into popsicle molds, insert sticks, and freeze overnight. Enjoy them the next day.

Pro Tip: To easily remove the popsicles from the molds, run warm water over them to loosen them up.

Recipe Tips

• Chop the pineapple- Chop the pineapple into pieces similar in size to the strawberries for smoother blending.
• Pay attention to yogurt fat content- Use low-fat yogurt for a healthier option or full-fat yogurt for a creamier texture.
• Let them thaw a bit- Allow the popsicles to thaw slightly around the edges before removing from the molds for easier extraction.
• Loosen them with warm water- If the popsicles are stubborn, run warm water over the mold to help release them.

FAQs

How do you make popsicles that aren’t too hard?

Add a sweetener like honey to lower the freezing point, ensuring softer popsicles instead of ice-hard ones.

What is the trick to getting popsicles out of the mold?

Let the popsicles thaw for a few minutes before extraction. If stuck, run the bottom of the mold under warm water to ease removal.
