Berry Yogurt Popsicles



Frozen yogurt popsicles made with fresh berries don't just taste great, they are good for you too! Fresh berries are some of the most powerful disease fighting foods, they are high in vitamin C and antioxidants.

I love freezing my smoothies in popsicle molds to make healthy summer snacks. I normally do just one flavor at a time but I thought it would be fun to make them into stripes. My original intention was to make these red, white and blue hoping the color of the fruit would achieve this naturally but the colors turned out more of a purple, white and pink. Still pretty and a great way to make colorful popsicles without adding food coloring.

Although the berries have a natural sweetness to them, I suggest you adjust the sugar or agave to your taste before freezing them. I bought my freezer pop maker from Progressive last year on Amazon, I am linking to it here for all of you who asked where I bought it.

  3. My daughter has been begging me to make her some popsicles all summer, but she wanted to use Kool Aid (ick). This is a much better idea, and I think she will have fun coming up with the color ideas. I'm thinking we should add a little kiwi to the white yogurt layer - that would be so pretty! I'll be stopping at Bed Bath and Beyond to pick up some molds tomorrow. Thanks for the inspiration!!

  19. Those Popsicle looked like they turned out pretty well. I have not made popsicles since I was a kid. I think I might just have to add this nice treat to the menu next time I eat. Thanks for posting the different recipes too.

  20. These look so refreshing! Thank you for this idea. I'm so trying this. I've been seeing recipes that include sweetened condensed milk in the popsicle, but that is NOT the way I want to spend my calories.

  41. I got molds from a dollar store for the kind she has except they come with plastic sticks for them, same serving size.

  42. I made these a for Independence day and they came out beautiful. My family was complaining about the seeds that were in the "blue" section of the popsicle. Next time I'll strain it before I freeze it and see if that helps.

    Otherwise they are delicious and healthy!
