Step 1

Measure and prep all ingredients.

Step 5859 Shot
Step 2

Prepare the red layer. In the bowl of a blender or food processor, add the strawberries and blend until smooth. Taste and sweeten with honey, if needed.

Step 5860 Shot
Step 3

Fill each popsicle mold ⅓ of the way with the strawberry mixture. Add the popsicle sticks and lid. Freeze for 1 hour.

Step 5861 Shot
Step 4

Prepare the white layer. In a bowl, mix together Greek yogurt, honey and vanilla extract. Taste and adjust sweetness if desired. 

Step 5862 Shot
Step 5

Transfer the yogurt mixture to a piping bag. (See notes 3.)

Step 5863 Shot
Step 6

Remove the lid and fill each popsicle mold another ⅓ of the way with the yogurt mixture. Tap to even out the yogurt mixture and release any bubbles. Replace the lid. Freeze for 1 hour.

Step 5864 Shot
Step 7

Prepare the blue layer. In the bowl of a blender or food processor, add the blueberries and blend until smooth. Taste and sweeten with honey, if needed. If the blueberry mixture leans more purple than blue, blue food coloring can be added to boost the color.

Step 5865 Shot

Step 5866 Shot
Step 9

Freeze until completely frozen, about 6-8 hours. Remove from the mold and enjoy!

Step 5867 Shot

Notes:

  1. Raspberries also work in this recipe. The sweetness of the popsicles will depend on the quality of the fruit. So be sure to choose whichever fruit looks best.
  2. Wild blueberries are sweeter than regular blueberries and are preferred in this recipe.
  3. Greek yogurt is thick and will not easily pour like the puree. Transferring it into a piping bag makes it easier and neater to fill the popsicle molds. 
  4. The popsicles will expand when frozen, so be sure to leave some room.

These popsicles were a hit at our Fourth of July BBQ. So fresh and the kids had no idea they were sugar-free.
