- fruit
- Honey (this is completely optional, if you use sweetened yogurt, we do not recommend adding it)
That’s it!
How to customize
What we like most about this recipe is its customizability. You can make any fruity popsicles you want here, and you can even separate the mixture and make several different types!
Here is how it works. The best popsicles are made from Greek yogurt. You can use any type of Greek yogurt (even regular yogurt). You can use sweetened flavors (such as vanilla) or unsweetened ones. Then add two cups of fruit and mix together.
We like to use berries and bananas in our Greek yogurt soda, but you can do anything that sounds good. Or a combination of different fruits. Just follow the recommended amount of fruit and yogurt and you are good to go.
A brief introduction about berries with seeds. We did find that some berries (such as raspberries or blackberries) were a bit too dirty for our cream popsicles. Therefore, we like to filter the mixture after mixing and before putting it in popsicle molds. If you don’t mind the seeds and like the extra fiber, you can leave them in.
What popsicle mold is best?
There are many interesting popsicle molds on the market now! You can buy silicone, stainless steel or plastic!
We actually have one of each, but always go back to this classic plastic version because it works well and we like the popsicle shape it makes. Be sure to hand wash with warm soapy water, not hot water or a dishwasher. Here are some other favorite popsicle molds that we like:
How to easily remove popsicles from the mold
You can use some tricks to remove the popsicles from the mold, but the simpler method I have tried so far is to glue the popsicle molds in a large bowl of hot water. Place the entire mold in water, making sure not to let water in the popsicles. Leave it there for about 30 seconds, and then remove it. Then all the popsicles should pop out easily! If you have a separate mold, then you can glue each popsicle in a large glass of hot water.
Or, if you can’t put it in a bowl, you can run the mold under hot water from the tap.
How long can popsicles be stored
Unlike the popsicles you buy in stores, we find that these popsicles are best consumed within 1 to 2 weeks. The fresher the better.
After freezing, remove them from the mold and wrap them in parchment or wax paper. Store them in a bag or other container in the refrigerator and enjoy!
