Notes

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, that 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.

Recipe Tips:

- Run your popsicle molds under COLD water. Running your popsicles under cold water instead of warm water, helps the popsicles to slide out of the molds easily.

- Use stainless steel popsicle molds. I highly recommend getting a stainless steel set of popsicle molds (like the ones in the photos) - this is my very favorite popsicle mold!

- Avoid Icy Popsicles. Blend thoroughly to fully incorporate all ingredients and avoid separation during freezing. A small amount of cornstarch (½ tsp) can help prevent ice crystals.

🌡️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.
