Ingredients
Popsicle Layers
- 1 cup vanilla yogurt Use a low-fat option or Greek yogurt for extra creaminess.
- 1 cup hulled strawberries Fresh or frozen strawberries can be used.
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice Divided for berry purees.
- 1 cup blueberries Fresh blueberries are best, but frozen can also work.
Instructions
Preparation
- Set aside 1 cup of vanilla yogurt in a bowl.
- Blend hulled strawberries until smooth. If preferred, pulse for a chunky texture.
- Add 1 teaspoon of lemon juice to the blended strawberries, mix well, and set aside.
- Rinse the blender to avoid flavor mixing.
- Blend blueberries until smooth, or pulse for desired texture.
- Add the remaining 1 teaspoon of lemon juice to the blueberry puree and mix thoroughly.
Layering and Freezing
- Layer popsicle molds starting with blueberry puree, followed by yogurt, then strawberry puree.
- Repeat until molds are filled, leaving a bit of space at the top.
- Insert popsicle sticks into the center of each mold.
- Freeze for at least 5 hours or overnight until solid.
- To remove, run molds under warm water for a few seconds and gently pull popsicles out.
Notes
To enhance flavor, add honey or agave syrup to the fruit purees. Yogurt should be at room temperature for easier layering. Experiment with different fruits for variations.
