These refreshing layered yogurt popsicles combine strawberries, Greek yogurt, and blueberries for a patriotic and healthy summer treat that’s easy to make and perfect for celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 ½ cups plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon honey or sweetener of choice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Red Layer: In a blender, puree the strawberries with honey until smooth. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed. Pour about 1/3 cup of the mixture into each popsicle mold, filling the bottom layer. Freeze for 30-45 minutes until firm but not rock solid.
  2. Prepare the White Layer: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Once the red layer is set, spoon or ladle about 1/3 cup of the yogurt mixture on top of each red layer. Gently tap the molds to smooth the surface. Freeze again for 30-45 minutes.
  3. Prepare the Blue Layer: Blend the blueberries with honey until smooth. Pour this final layer on top of the white layer carefully to keep the layers defined. Insert popsicle sticks, then freeze for at least 4 hours or until completely solid.
  4. Unmold and Serve: To remove the popsicles, run warm water briefly over the outside of the molds to loosen them. Gently pull on the sticks and enjoy your colorful, refreshing treat!

Notes

Do not overfill molds to prevent layers from blending. Freeze each layer until firm but not rock solid before adding the next. Slightly textured purees add visual appeal. If blender struggles with frozen fruit, thaw slightly or add a splash of water. Warm water helps unmold popsicles easily. Can substitute Greek yogurt with dairy-free coconut or almond yogurt for vegan option. Sweeteners are optional depending on fruit sweetness.
