How to Make Strawberry Popsicles with Yogurt
This healthy popsicle recipe only takes a few minutes of prep time.
You don't need to make a strawberry puree, just add everything, except shredded coconut, to the blender (hulled, chopped strawberries, Greek yogurt, agave, and coconut extract)

Blend until smooth (about 30-60 seconds).
Pour yogurt mixture into popsicle molds. *Be sure to leave about ¼ inch at the top for expansion.
Add covers/lids and popsicle sticks.
Freeze for 6- 8 hours or overnight until solid.
Garnish (optional): When the popsicles are ready, add shredded coconut to a small bowl and dip the popsicles
Hint: wet the tip of the popsicle with a little cold water before you dip it in the coconut - it will stick better
💭Top Tip
Run your popsicle molds under COLD water, instead of warm water. The popsicles will slide out of the molds easily.
📖Variations & Substitutions
- Yogurt- I use non-fat Greek yogurt, but you can use full-fat, vanilla Greek yogurt, regular plain yogurt, or vanilla yogurt. But keep in mind, your popsicles will be icier if you use regular yogurt because it contains more water than Greek yogurt.
- Agave - you can substitute honey, but you'll need twice the amount. Alternatively, you could use maple syrup or an artificial sweetener (if you are okay with using that).
- Strawberries- you can use fresh or frozen strawberries, but if you use frozen, just make sure to defrost and drain, then measure or the popsicles will be too watery. You could also substitute another type of fresh fruit, such as blueberries or raspberries.
- Coconut extract- although you can get coconut extract at most grocery stores, if you can't find it or don't have it and don't want to run out to the grocery store, you can substitute vanilla if you can't get coconut, or use another type of extract.
- Lactose-free - Use lactose-free Greek yogurt instead of regular Greek yogurt.
🍽Equipment
You will need a blender or food processor and popsicle molds (affiliate links) for these creamy strawberry popsicles. I highly recommend getting a stainless steel set of popsicle molds (like the ones in the photos) - this is my very favorite popsicle mold!
I held off buying a set like this for years and kept going through molds that were much poorer quality (would break, bend, spill over in the freezer etc...). I'm so glad I finally invested in this set! It really makes a huge difference.

🌡️Storage
Store these strawberry popsicles in the molds in the freezer until ready to eat. They will last up to 2 months in the freezer, but if you're storing them longer than a week, you'll want to put them in a large freezer bag.
❔ Frequently Asked Questions
If you use regular yogurt, your popsicles will be icier than if you use Greek yogurt because Greek yogurt contains less water. If you want a creamy texture, I recommend using Greek yogurt in your popsicles.
You can use ice cube trays in place of molds. Simply use large toothpicks in place of the "popsicle sticks".
So if you're looking for a healthy, light, and creamy Strawberry Yogurt Popsicle, you'll love this easy version. It's the ideal wholesome treat for a hot day!
