What You’ll Need
Ingredient Notes
- Fresh fruit- Pineapple, Strawberries, and Raspberries. Chop the pineapple into chunks for easy blending.
- Honey– This will naturally sweeten the pops in place of refined sugar. It also keeps them from being too hard and icy.
- Plain Greek Yogurt– Use plain so the popsicles remain naturally sweetened and the flavors of the fruit show through.
- Popsicle molds– These can be any shape you like.
Add-ins and Substitutions
- Substitute other fruit- Try fruit combinations like peach and blackberry, strawberry and banana, blueberry and cherry, pineapple and mango, or watermelon and strawberry.
- Use another sweetener- If you still want to keep these naturally sweetened but don’t want to use honey, then use agave syrup or maple syrup.
- Add vegetables- Give your Strawberry Popsicles some green by adding spinach for more health benefits.
- Add coconut flakes- For a more tropical pop, add some coconut flakes to these delicious treats.
How to Make Strawberry Popsicles
- Blend everything together. Place the pineapple, strawberries, and raspberries in a food processor and blend until smooth. Then add the honey and Greek yogurt and combine.
- Freeze the popsicles. Pour the blended fruit mixture into popsicle molds, add the popsicle sticks, and freeze overnight. Enjoy the next day.
Pro Tip: You may want to run a little warm water over the popsicle molds to loosen them up when removing the pops.
Recipe Tips
- Chop the pineapple- You’ll want to make the pineapple pieces about the size of the strawberries to make it easier for the food processor to puree them.
- Pay attention to the fat content of the yogurt- If you want to keep this recipe healthy, use lower-fat yogurt. For a creamier popsicle, use full-fat yogurt.
- Let them thaw a bit- When removing the popsicles from the molds, give them a few minutes to thaw around the edges so they come out easier.
- Loosen them with warm water- If the popsicles are stubborn coming out of the mold, run some warm water over it to loosen them up.
FAQs
The secret to making popsicles that aren’t hard like ice cubes is to add a sweetener, like honey. The sugar lowers the freezing point of the popsicles so they come out softer.
The trick to getting your popsicles out of the mold is letting them thaw for a few minutes before you begin extracting them. If they are still stuck, then run the bottom of the mold under warm water to help loosen the pops up.

Could you substitute almond milk for yougurt?
simplyhomecooked says
Hi, I’ve never tried substituting yogurt for almond milk so I’m not too sure how it will turn out. It will definitely change the consistency though.
