summer bucket list #14: yummy (healthy) frozen yogurt popsicles

yummy and healthy frozen yogurt popsicle recipe



One of the more delicious items that I added to our summer bucket list is making homemade popsicles. It's crazy-simple, yet somehow, I completely forgot to do this last summer. Whoops. We'll chock that up to pregnancy brain (along with everything else I neglected to do last year).

These are beyond simple to make, like to the point that it barely qualifies as a recipe. There are thousands of things you can do to customize them to your liking.



the goods

  • 6-8 oz fruit juice. I used one with hidden vegetables, because I'm sneaky like that. 
  • 4 strawberries, diced
  • 6 oz raspberry yogurt
  • popsicle mold; mine makes 4

Add the juice equally to each mold, coming up about halfway, then add the diced strawberries. You could freeze them a bit at this point to set the juice and make your layers all pretty, but I'm way to impatient for that. I just went for it.

I was pretty proud of myself for buying juice with hidden veggies in it. When I got home I noticed that it, in fact, has added sugar. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Oh well.

Using a spoon, add the yogurt to each mold. A fancy mom would use organic Greek free trade yogurt. Mine was store brand. Top off with more juice if you need to so that the liquid fills the mold completely.

Add the stick. Freeze until set. I froze ours overnight. That's it!

I found that if they get a bit stuck when you try to pull the pops out, just run them under a bit of water.

I got my mold at Target a few years back. You can also use old yogurt cups and insert popsicle sticks or sturdy straws if you don't want to buy a mold.

Henry was much more excited about this snack than the usual healthy vegetable carrot sticks goldfish. Score one for me.
