Healthy Homemade Popsicles Recipe

I made these healthy homemade popsicles using fresh and simple ingredients, and that’s why they taste so good! There’s nothing quite as refreshing as fresh fruit on a summer day.

Here’s all the ingredients you need to make these Red White and Blue Popsicles:

  • Greek Yogurt
  • Fresh Strawberries
  • Fresh Blueberries
  • 1 Banana
  • Sugar

You’ll also need some popsicle sticks and popsicle molds to make these smoothie pops, and if you want to create brighter colors, you can add in some food coloring too (but it’s not necessary).

I’ve mentioned In the Raw before. It’s one of my very favorite and most used brands, and I’m so honored to be partnering with them this year to bring you healthier twists on some of my favorite recipes. I used their Monk Fruit In the Raw for my Chocolate Covered Strawberry Frozen Yogurt, and their Agave In the Raw for my Strawberry Jalapeño Margaritas.

For these sweet pops I used Sugar In the Raw Organic White. It might just be my favorite product in their line. It’s organic, non-GMO certified, and 100% unbleached. It’s the perfect substitution for any recipe that calls for sugar. Literally perfect for so many occasions.

How to Make Homemade Popsicles

If you’re just learning how to make homemade popsicles, here are a few tips to keep in mind while making these Red White and Blue Popsicles:

  • Make sure you have all your ingredients at hand, as well as a popsicle mold
  • You will need to freeze each layer (color) for about 2 hours before moving on to the next one
  • So, you’ll want to add in your first layer to each popsicle mold, freeze, then come back and add each 2nd layer, and so on
  • Make sure your homemade popsicles are fully frozen before serving
  • Serve them on a tray or bowl of ice to keep them cool throughout the party
  • Add a bit of food coloring to brighten the colors

Ingredients 

  • 1 cup chopped strawberries 167 grams
  • tablespoons granulated sugar 18 grams, divided
  • ¾ cup water 170 grams, divided
  • 3 cups plain greek yogurt 681 grams, divided
  • Red and blue food coloring optional
  • 1 cup blueberries 170 grams
  • 1 banana chopped

Instructions 

  • Blend the strawberries with ½ tablespoon sugar and ¼ cup water. Pulse until well combined. Add 1 cup Greek yogurt and blend until fully smooth. Add 3 drops red food coloring if you would like the color to be a bit more vibrant; totally optional. Set aside. Keep refrigerated until use.
    1 cup chopped strawberries, 1½ tablespoons granulated sugar, ¾ cup water, Red and blue food coloring, 3 cups plain greek yogurt
  • Repeat steps with each type of fruit, using blue food coloring with the blueberries if you want the color to be a bit more blue, again, optional.
    1 cup blueberries, 1 banana
  • Start by adding a layer of blueberry mixture to the bottom of each popsicle mold. Add popsicle sticks (if your mold doesn't come with them) and allow layer to freeze for about 2 hours. Follow with layer of either banana or strawberry, alternating if you wish. Allow this layer to freeze as well before adding your final layer.
  • Allow pops to freeze fully before serving.

Becky's Tips

  • For a bit more sweetness, use vanilla Greek yogurt.
  • You can change up the fruit flavors by using raspberries in place of the strawberries and blackberries in place of the blueberries.
Storage: Store red white and blue popsicles in the freezer for up to 1 month.

These popsicles are adorable! Plus they would be so easy to mix up with other fruits. I’m particularly obsessed with peaches lately so I can’t wait to try one with peaches in it too!
