Greek Yogurt Fruit Protein Popsicles

Thanks for sharing!

Popsicles keep popping up everywhere this summer – and for good reason!  They are delicious!  I just had to join in on sharing the fun with these Greek Yogurt Fruit Protein Popsicles I made!

My kids will love these Greek Yogurt Fruit Protein Popsicles! And so will I! Greek yogurt blended with fruit and frozen into fun popsicle rocket shapes! A cool yummy summer treat!

My 8-year-old son LOVES popsicles.  He will eat pretty much any Popsicle under the hot summer sun, so I always try to mix it up for him to give him plenty of variety.  One of his absolute favorites is Apple Juice Popsicle’s.  There is no recipe for this one guys, just pour apple juice into a Popsicle mold, and freeze.  Anytime I make any other flavor Popsicle, I have to make the apple juice Popsicles as well.  hose are the extra two Popsicles you’ll see in some of the pictures I show of the Greek Yogurt Fruit Protein Popsicles!

Speaking of Greek Yogurt Fruit Protein Popsicles, let’s get to it, shall we? I wanted to create a healthier Popsicle option for my son, and myself too!  I decided on using a vanilla flavored Greek yogurt as the base.  The only part my son wanted to help with was smashing up the fruit – of course!  We used an old-fashioned mortar and pestle, but you could also toss the fruit into a food processor and pulse a few times for similar results.  We mixed the yogurt, fruit, and lemon zest together before pouring it all into Popsicle molds.  The amount of each ingredient you will need will depend on the size of the Popsicle molds you use.  We used four rocket-pop shaped molds for the recipe below.

Smashed Blueberries

After freezing your Popsicles for a few hours, or longer, be very careful when trying to separate them.  We ended up breaking one of our molds handles, hence only one blueberry Popsicle made it into the photos!  Run them under warm water, while loosening  the handle, if you need to, then ENJOY!!

Ingredients

  • 1 Cup Vanilla Flavored Greek Yogurt
  • 1/2 Cup Berries *we used blueberries and strawberries
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Instructions

  • Add the berries to a food processor and pulse a few times until they form a chunky puree (or smash using a mortar and pestle).
  • In a small bowl, combine the vanilla flavored greek yogurt, fruit puree and lemon zest. Divide the mixture evenly into your popsicle molds (we used rocket-pop shaped molds and were able to make 4 popsicles). Freeze thoroughly.
  • To separate, loosen the handle of the mold gently, running the popsicle mold under warm water, if necessary. Enjoy!

    It was orange juice, when I was a kid… LOL I have to try the Greek yogurt ones, though. Every bit of protein I can give the parents helps…

    What a perfect summer recipe! We still have a month or so of unbearable heat here in Texas – will have to give these a try. (Love the popsicle molds, too!)

      🙂 I don’t see anything wrong with an adult having popsicles – ice cream of any kind is definitely a guilty pleasure for the adults in my home for sure!

    Oh yay! This was right on time because I purchased a big ole tub of yogurt to make smoothies, but my husband wants ice coffee instead. I can make these for the girls.

    This is a great idea! I normally make smoothies in the morning for breakfast with yogurt and fruit but this would be even better on a hot day!

    Sounds yummy! I am not a big fan of Greek yogurt, but I could probably do the same thing with regular yogurt, and just lose a little of the protein?
    Thanks for sharing!
