Introduction

These Yogurt Berries Popsicles are a refreshing and healthy treat perfect for warm days. Combining creamy Greek yogurt with sweet berries and subtle vanilla flavor, they offer a delightful balance of tart and sweet. Easy to make and customizable, they’re sure to be a family favorite.

Ingredients

• 16 oz plain non-fat Greek yogurt
• 2 packets no-calorie sweetener like Truvia (or 3 tablespoons honey as a substitute)
• 1 tablespoon sugar-free coffee syrup – French vanilla (or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract as a substitute)
• 4 oz blueberries
• 4 oz raspberries
• Granola (optional)

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, sweetener, and vanilla syrup or extract if using. Stir well until smooth and evenly mixed.
2. Step 2: Pour half of the yogurt mixture into ice pop molds. Add a few whole blueberries and raspberries into each mold, using a toothpick to gently push them to the bottom.
3. Step 3: Freeze the molds for about 15 minutes to let the mixture firm up slightly.
4. Step 4: While the molds freeze, blend the remaining Greek yogurt with the remaining berries until smooth. Pour this puree into the molds on top of the first layer. If desired, sprinkle granola on top for added crunch.
5. Step 5: Freeze the popsicles for at least 4 to 5 hours until fully set.

Tips & Variations

• Use honey or maple syrup instead of no-calorie sweetener if you prefer a natural sweetener and a richer flavor.
• Add a pinch of cinnamon or lemon zest to the yogurt mixture for an extra flavor boost.
• For a dairy-free version, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut or almond yogurt.
• Experiment with other berries like strawberries or blackberries depending on what’s fresh or available.
• Add granola just before serving to keep it crunchy, especially if making popsicles ahead of time.

Storage

Store the popsicles in an airtight container or tightly covered molds in the freezer for up to 1 month. To enjoy, let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly before removing from molds. No reheating needed.

FAQs

Can I use flavored yogurt instead of plain Greek yogurt?

Yes, flavored yogurt can be used, but keep in mind it might add extra sweetness and change the flavor profile. Adjust the sweetener accordingly.

How do I prevent popsicles from sticking to the molds?

To make removal easier, briefly run warm water on the outside of the molds for a few seconds before pulling the popsicles out.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Yogurt Mixture

• 16 oz Plain non-fat Greek yogurt
• 2 packets no-calorie sweetener like Truvia (or 3 tablespoons honey as substitute)
• 1 Tablespoon sugar-free coffee syrup – French vanilla (or 1 Teaspoon vanilla extract as substitute)

Fruit

• 4 oz Blueberries
• 4 oz Raspberries

Optional Topping

• Granola (optional)

Instructions

1. Mix the Yogurt Base: In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, no-calorie sweetener (or honey if using), and the sugar-free French vanilla coffee syrup or vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly with a spoon until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended.
2. Fill Half the Molds: Pour half of the yogurt mixture into the ice pop molds. Add a few whole blueberries and raspberries into each mold, then use a toothpick to gently push the berries down to the bottom of the molds for even berry distribution.
3. Pre-Freeze: Place the molds in the freezer for about 15 minutes to allow the base to harden slightly, which helps keep the berries in place for the next layer.
4. Prepare the Berry Puree Layer: While the molds are pre-freezing, blend the remaining Greek yogurt with the remaining blueberries and raspberries until smooth to create a creamy berry yogurt puree.
5. Finish Filling and Freeze: Pour the berry yogurt puree into the molds over the semi-frozen layer. If desired, sprinkle granola on top for added texture. Insert sticks and freeze the popsicles for at least 4 to 5 hours until fully set.

Notes

• Substitute no-calorie sweetener with 3 tablespoons of honey for a natural sweetener alternative.
• If sugar-free coffee syrup is unavailable, replace it with 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
• Adding granola is optional but provides a nice crunch contrast to the creamy yogurt popsicles.
• Ensure the popsicles are frozen thoroughly for best texture before serving.
