Strawberry Fruit Popsicles with Greek Yogurt
Strawberry Fruit Popsicles are the best healthy summer snack for when you need to cool down. Gluten-free, minimal ingredients and low sugar!
Servings: 6 popsicles
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh strawberries green tops removed
- Juice of ½ a lemon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup water
- 1 tablespoon honey optional
- 1 cup vanilla greek yogurt
Instructions
- In a high powered blender combine strawberries, lemon juice, vanilla extract, water and honey. Blend until smooth. Set aside.
- To the popsicle mold, add dollops of greek yogurt on the inside of the cavities, using a spoon to stick the yogurt to the sides to create the “strawberries and cream” look.
- Pour the strawberry mixture into the cavities of the popsicle mold. Divide the mixture evenly. Top with popsicle sticks and place in the freezer to harden (usually at least 4 hours).
Notes
You can get as creative as you like with these. Some great add-ins include fresh basil, protein powder, mango, dipping in white chocolate or mixing the yogurt directly in with the strawberries for a creamier popsicle.
I do not recommend substituing fresh strawberries with frozen!
Water can be replaced with milk for a creamier popsicle.
Honey is optional and will depend on how sweet your strawberries are and your personal taste preferences. I like a sweet popsicle, however some individuals find the strawberries enough.
