Ingredients
Ingredients List
¾ cup Blue Diamond Hint of Honey Almond Milk (or your preferred milk)
¾ cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon honey
⅓ cup fresh or frozen blueberries
⅓ cup granola
Optional fresh blueberries for layering
Optional extra granola for topping
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, almond milk, and honey.
Whisk everything together until the mixture becomes smooth, creamy, and fully combined.
Taste the mixture and add a little more honey if you’d like a sweeter popsicle.
If using frozen blueberries, allow them to thaw slightly for easier mixing.
Stir half of the blueberries into the yogurt mixture while leaving the remaining berries whole for layering.
Place a small spoonful of granola into the bottom of each popsicle mold.
Add a few blueberries on top of the granola.
Pour the yogurt mixture into each mold until it is about halfway full.
Add another small layer of blueberries and granola to create texture throughout the popsicle.
Fill the molds almost to the top with the remaining yogurt mixture.
Gently tap the molds on the counter to remove trapped air bubbles.
Insert popsicle sticks according to the mold manufacturer’s instructions.
Freeze for at least 6 to 8 hours or overnight until completely firm.
To remove the popsicles, run the outside of the molds under warm water for about 15 to 20 seconds.
Carefully pull each popsicle from the mold and serve immediately.
Store any remaining popsicles in a freezer-safe container with parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking.
Tips
Use full-fat or low-fat Greek yogurt depending on your preferred level of creaminess. Greek yogurt produces a thicker and creamier popsicle than regular yogurt.
Choose ripe, naturally sweet fruit for the best flavor without needing extra sweetener.
Fresh berries maintain their shape beautifully, while frozen berries create attractive swirls of color throughout the popsicles.
Layer the granola instead of mixing it completely into the yogurt. This helps maintain some crunch after freezing.
Allow the popsicles to freeze overnight if possible for the firmest texture.
Silicone popsicle molds make removing frozen pops much easier than hard plastic molds.
Do not overfill the molds because the mixture expands slightly as it freezes.
If you want extra protein, stir a scoop of vanilla protein powder into the yogurt mixture before filling the molds.
For younger children, finely chop larger fruits to make the popsicles easier to eat.
Keep the popsicles stored in an airtight freezer container to prevent freezer burn and maintain freshness for up to two months.
Variations
Replace blueberries with strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, peaches, mangoes, kiwi, pineapple, cherries, or mixed berries.
Use vanilla, honey, coconut, or berry-flavored Greek yogurt for different flavor combinations.
Substitute almond milk with oat milk, soy milk, coconut milk, dairy milk, or cashew milk.
Replace honey with maple syrup, agave nectar, or a sugar-free sweetener if desired.
Mix chia seeds, flaxseed meal, or hemp hearts into the yogurt for extra fiber and healthy fats.
Add chopped almonds, walnuts, pecans, or pistachios for additional crunch and nutrition.
Blend the fruit completely into the yogurt for colorful layered popsicles with a smooth texture.
Add a spoonful of peanut butter or almond butter for a richer, protein-packed breakfast treat.
Sprinkle cinnamon or vanilla extract into the yogurt mixture for extra flavor.
Dip the frozen popsicles in melted dark chocolate and sprinkle with crushed granola before serving for a special dessert-style version.
Q&A
Can I make these popsicles dairy-free?
Yes. Replace the Greek yogurt with your favorite dairy-free yogurt made from coconut, almond, soy, or oat milk.
Can I use frozen fruit?
Absolutely. Frozen fruit works just as well as fresh fruit and is available year-round.
Why did my granola become soft?
Granola naturally absorbs moisture from the yogurt during freezing. Layering it instead of fully mixing it helps preserve more crunch.
Can I prepare these without popsicle molds?
Yes. Small paper cups with wooden sticks make an excellent substitute.
How long do these popsicles last?
They stay fresh in the freezer for up to two months when stored in an airtight container.
Can I reduce the honey?
Yes. If your fruit is naturally sweet, you can reduce or even omit the honey.
Are these good for meal prep?
Definitely. Make a large batch and keep them frozen for quick breakfasts or healthy snacks throughout the week.
Can children enjoy these popsicles?
Yes. They are kid-friendly, naturally sweetened, and packed with nutritious ingredients that make a great breakfast or snack.
