Preparation Time: 15 minutes

Freezing Time: 8 hours (or overnight)

Servings: 6 ice pops

Serving Size: 1 ice pop

Ingredients

Fruit and yogurt ice pop ingredients of chopped fruit and Greek yogurt in separate dishes next to popsicle molds and popsicle sticks.
  • 2 cups (480 ml) low-fat Greek liquid yogurt, sweetened (or plain low-fat yogurt sweetened to taste)
  • 1 cup (165 g) mango, diced
  • ½ cup (90 g) kiwi, diced
  • 1 cup (150 g) strawberries, diced
  • 1 cup (150 g) grapes, halved

Instructions

  1. Prepare the fruit. Wash and dry all the fruit. Dice the mango, kiwi and strawberries into small, bite-sized pieces. Halve the grapes. Keep each fruit in its own bowl for easy filling.
  2. Fill your molds. Divide the fruit evenly among your popsicle molds. You can layer the different fruits for a striped look or mix them together for a colorful blend in every pop.
  3. Pour the yogurt. Spoon or pour the low-fat yogurt over the fruit in each mold, leaving a small gap at the top to allow for expansion as the mixture freezes.
  4. Insert sticks. Add popsicle sticks and, if your mold has a lid or holder, use it to keep the sticks centered and upright.
  5. Settle the mixture. Tap the molds gently on the counter to help the yogurt settle around the fruit and remove any air pockets — this helps the pops hold together.
  6. Freeze. Place the molds in the freezer and freeze for at least eight hours or overnight until fully set.
  7. Release and serve. Remove the molds from the freezer when ready. To unmold easily, run the outside of each mold under warm water for a few seconds or gently flex the mold. Serve immediately and enjoy.

Variations and substitutions

  1. Yogurt choices. Use flavored, low-fat, sugar-free yogurts like strawberry, peach or pineapple for extra sweetness — just watch added sugars if you’re tracking points.
  2. Fruit swaps. Any fresh or thawed frozen fruit works well. Try blueberries, raspberries, peaches, cherries, or pineapple for different textures and flavors.
  3. Boost the flavor. Stir a little vanilla extract or a small amount of sugar substitute into the yogurt for extra flavor if you prefer it sweeter.

Tips and tricks

  1. Prevent browning. Fruits that brown quickly — such as apples, pears and bananas — benefit from a light squeeze of lemon or lime juice to slow oxidation.
  2. Alternative molds. No silicone molds? Small paper or plastic cups work well; insert sticks once the mixture is partially frozen so they stay upright.
  3. Eliminate air pockets. Tapping molds and gently pressing the fruit down before freezing helps the yogurt surround the fruit and reduces voids inside the pops.

Freezing time: Allow at least eight hours (overnight is best) to ensure the pops are fully set and won’t fall apart.
