Why You’ll Love Berry Popsicles
- It only takes 10 minutes to prep these super easy frozen fruit popsicles! You only have to be patient and let the freezer freeze them to the perfect consistency.
- Making your own popsicles is a more affordable snack option than buying boxes of popsicles all summer long.
- These easy homemade popsicles are a healthy alternative to ice cream. It’s only fruit and Greek yogurt, no refined sugar and added un-healthy ingredients. A great low-carb option as well.
Ingredients for Berry Popsicles
- Frozen strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries – You can use fresh fruit if you prefer, but frozen works just fine! If you don’t want to buy each of these separately, you can buy a bag of frozen mixed berries. Just be sure it’s enough fruit for 2 1/2 cups of berries. You can also use a mix of frozen and fresh berries. Find whatever is cheapest at your local grocery store (or summer Farmer’s Market!) and go with it!
- Vanilla Greek yogurt – Vanilla Greek yogurt adds the perfect creamy and sweet touch to these delicious popsicles. Feel free to use unflavored Greek yogurt, or different flavors like strawberry, mixed berry, or another fruit flavor.
Helpful Tools
How to Make Mixed Berry Popsicles
- Puree all of the ingredients together in a blender or food processor until smooth. Then, smooth the berry popsicle mixture into a popsicle mold.
- Cover the mold and push the popsicle sticks into each slot.
- Freeze the popsicles overnight, or until completely frozen.
- To remove the popsicles, dip the molds in warm water for 3 to 5 seconds to loosen the popsicles enough to slide out easily.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
How long do homemade popsicles last in the freezer?
Homemade popsicles will last for 2-4 weeks in the freezer, if stored correctly. Make sure that you cover them well to prevent freezer burn from happening.
Store them towards the back of the freezer so they don’t melt and refreeze. The front of the freezer has more frequent temperature fluctuations.
How can I make berry popsicles sweeter?
Sweeten up these popsicles by adding a little bit of honey or coconut sugar into the mix. These two sweeteners pair so well with fruit. You can also purchase Greek yogurt that is sweetened and that would add some sweetness to your popsicles!
Can I use different frozen fruit and make popsicles using this same method?
Even though this recipe is for berry popsicles, the method can be used for any frozen fruit popsicle you want to make!
A tropical mix of mango and pineapple would be so yummy. Or use other fruits like peaches, bananas, and kiwis to make tons of other tasty flavor combinations.
Pro Tips!
- Melt some chocolate and place a little in the bottom of your popsicle molds to make a delicious chocolate coating on the top of each popsicle.
- Use reusable popsicles sticks to cut down on the mess of cleaning up leftover popsicle sticks everywhere.
- Slice up some fresh fruit and place it in the bottom of the molds before pouring the popsicle mixture in. This will give these treats a few chunks of fruit throughout the popsicle!
Have a refreshing summer day, and kick back and enjoy a creamy, fruity, and naturally sweet cold treat!
