Make healthy Greek yogurt popsicles with just 3 simple ingredients: Greek yogurt, honey and fresh fruit. They’re refreshing, easy to make and the perfect summertime treat that both kids and adults will love!
Knowing that my Greek yogurt bark is a fan fave during the summer, I figured you guys would love these Greek yogurt popsicles!
They’re creamy, delicious and the perfect recipe to involve your kids in. Plus, they’re so easy to make and totally customizable. The hardest part is waiting for them to harden up in the freezer. Trust me when I say that you’ll want to keep a batch or two or these yogurt pops stocked in the freezer all summer long!
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
- You only need 3 simple ingredients and 10 minutes of prep time!
- These popsicles are smooth, creamy and so refreshing.
- It’s the perfect summertime treat that both adults and kids will love!
- It’s totally customizable – feel free to use your favorite yogurt and whatever fruit you have on hand.
Ingredients Needed
- plain Greek yogurt – I prefer to use full-fat Greek yogurt for these popsicles because it’s thicker and a bit richer, but you can use regular plain yogurt if that’s all you have and low fat or nonfat yogurt if you’re wanting to cut back on the fat content.
- honey – the honey in this recipe sweetens up the Greek yogurt just enough. If you want to keep the recipe super low in sugar you can use plain yogurt without sweetening it, but I think it tastes really good with a little honey. Maple syrup or agave will work as good alternatives.
- fresh fruit – I did a mix of fresh berries (blueberries, raspberries and blackberries), but feel free to use your favorite fresh fruit! Frozen fruit should also work just fine for these pops, it might just take a little longer to blend up.
How to Make
These Greek yogurt popsicles are so easy to make. Here’s all you need to do:
In a high-powered blender, add Greek yogurt, honey and berries until combined. Blend until the berries are totally pureed or keep them a bit chunky if you want texture in the popsicles. Pour yogurt mixture evenly into 8 ice pop molds, add your popsicle sticks and freeze until solid (about 5-6 hours).
When ready to eat, dip the bottoms of the molds in hot water for a few seconds so the popsicles slide out easily. Enjoy!
Substitutions & Notes
- Swap out the yogurt: Feel free to use your favorite type of yogurt. Low fat or nonfat Greek yogurt or any flavored yogurt (like honey, vanilla or blueberry) will all work! If you’re using flavored yogurt I’d omit the sweetener or use less. Note: Depending on the type of yogurt you use the consistency might be different. Low fat or nonfat might result in icier popsicles versus creamy.
- Make them vegan: Use your favorite dairy-free yogurt and maple syrup to make these popsicles vegan!
- Swap out the fruit: I chose a mixture of fresh berries for this recipe, but any fresh (or frozen) fruit would work. I bet cherries, peaches or bananas would be amazing, but the options are endless!
What Popsicle Molds Are Best?
There are a ton of great popsicle molds out there on the market. They all have various features and come in different shapes and sizes. I personally prefer popsicle molds made from silicone rather than plastic or stainless steel. Silicone is BPA-free, phthalate-free, dishwasher safe and the molds are easier to release.
How to Store
Once frozen, remove them from the mold and transfer to a freezer-safe bag like these Stasher bags. You can also wrap them in parchment or wax paper. Homemade popsicles should last for about 2-4 weeks in the freezer.
FAQ’s
Yes! These popsicles are naturally sweetened and are loaded with protein and probiotics thanks to Greek yogurt. They’re definitely a healthier dessert compared to many other frozen treats.
Totally! Kiddos will love eating these popsicles. You can even omit the sweetener if you’re limiting sugar intake.
Dip the bottoms of the molds in hot water for a few seconds and the popsicles should slide out easily.
Definitely! I prefer to use my blender so the mixture is smooth and creamy, but you could totally mix everything by hand in a bowl. You’ll just have chunks of fruit in the pops, but they’ll still taste the same!

Absolutely amazing! I had some strawberries I needed to use up so I used those instead of mixed berries. It is so yummy and refreshing! I’ll definitely be making these all summer with a variety of fruit.
AH! I am so happy that you enjoyed this recipe, Emily! I love that you used strawberries, sounds delicious! Thank you so much for your review + star rating, I so appreciate it.
Can frozen fruit be used instead of fresh?
Yes, frozen fruit should work just fine! Let me know if you end up trying this recipe and what you think of it.
This may be a silly question but how do you get the popsicle stick to stand up before the yogurt is froze enough around it?
Hi Kathy – Most popsicle molds have a place to put the stick in before adding the mixture. Some of them also have lids with holes that the popsicle stick can go into and it will help it stand. You can also cover the mold with aluminum foil after adding in the mixture and poke the sticks through the aluminum foil to help them stand. Hope this helps!
These were delicious! So easy to make and I had all of the ingredients on hand. These will definitely be a regular summertime treat for us!
Yay! I am so glad that you enjoyed this recipe, Mary! Thank you SO much for your review + star rating, I so appreciate you being here!
I bought the same silicone popsicle molds you linked and can’t wait to try this recipe! This is a random question, but do you put that popsicle mold and its parts in the dishwasher? Amazon and the product itself didn’t specifically say if it was dishwasher safe.
Hi Tanya – I typically just wash them by hand with warm soapy water so they last longer with less wear and tear from the dishwasher, but I am sure you can put them on the top rack of your dishwasher and they should be fine. I can’t wait to hear how you enjoy this recipe!
