Healthy Berry and Yogurt Popsicles Recipe

Berry and yogurt popsicles are a refreshing and healthy treat, perfect for a hot day or as a nutritious snack. This recipe is easy to make and combines the creamy texture of Greek yogurt with the natural sweetness of berries. Here’s how to make them:

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups mixed fresh or frozen berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries)

• 1 large ripe banana, peeled and sliced

• 2 cups plain or vanilla Greek yogurt

• 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional for added sweetness)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Berries:

   • Wash and dry the fresh berries. If using frozen berries, there's no need to thaw them.

   • Place the berries in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. If you prefer, you can leave some chunks of fruit for texture.

2. Mix with Yogurt:

   • In a large bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and honey or maple syrup if using.

   • Gently fold in the blended berries and banana slices. You can mix thoroughly for a uniform color or swirl lightly to create a marbled effect.

3. Fill the Molds:

   • Spoon the mixture into popsicle molds, filling each one to the top.

   • Insert popsicle sticks into the molds.

4. Freeze:

   • Place the molds in the freezer for at least 4 hours, or until the popsicles are completely frozen.

5. Serve:

   • To release the popsicles, run the molds under warm water for a few seconds.

   • Enjoy your homemade berry and yogurt popsicles immediately, or store them in a resealable freezer bag for up to 3 months.

Tips

• Sweetness: Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey or maple syrup, or leave it out if the berries and banana are sweet enough.

• Vegan Option: Substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt such as coconut or almond yogurt to make this recipe dairy-free and vegan-friendly.
