Ingredients:

  • 2 cups frozen mixed berries of your choice (We suggest strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries!)
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Equipment:

  • Blender
  • Popsicle molds
  • Popsicle sticks

Instructions:

  • In a blender, add the mixed berries, Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), orange juice, and vanilla extract.
  • Blend until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, pulse the blender a few times until you reach your desired consistency.
  • Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness if needed by adding more honey or maple syrup.
  • Carefully pour the berry mixture into the popsicle molds, leaving a little space at the top for expansion as they freeze.
  • Insert the popsicle sticks into the molds.
  • Place the filled molds in the freezer and freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until completely solid.

To remove the popsicles from the molds, run the outside of the molds under warm water for a few seconds to loosen them. Gently pull the popsicles out and enjoy!

Tips:

  • For a layered look, blend different types of berries separately and layer them in the molds.
  • Add a handful of whole berries to the molds before pouring in the mixture for added texture and visual appeal.
  • If you don’t have popsicle molds, you can use small paper cups and insert popsicle sticks or plastic spoons.

The blend of berries, Greek yogurt, and a hint of honey makes for a guilt-free indulgence that you can enjoy anytime. Whether you stick to the recipe or get creative with different berry combinations, these popsicles are bound to become a favorite. So, grab your ingredients and enjoy a taste of summer with every bite of these homemade Berry Popsicles!
