These Blueberry Yogurt Popsicles are not only delicious but also packed with the goodness of fresh blueberries and creamy Greek yogurt.

Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups fresh or frozen blueberries
- 3 tablespoons honey (or to taste)
- 2 ½ cups Greek yogurt (vanilla or plain)
- 3-4 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional but delicious!)
Directions
- Prepare the Blueberries:
In a small saucepan, heat the blueberries and honey over medium heat. Simmer until the blueberries release their juices, about 4 to 5 minutes. Mash the blueberries with a fork and let the mixture cool. - Mix the Yogurt:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, milk, and lemon juice until smooth. - Combine Mixtures:
Once the blueberry mixture has cooled, fold it into the yogurt mixture. For a beautiful marbled effect, stir only a couple of times to create streaks of color. For a uniform color, blend until the mixture is thoroughly mixed. - Fill the Molds:
Pour the mixture into six 3-ounce popsicle molds. Insert sticks into the molds, cover, and place them in the freezer. - Freeze:
Freeze for at least 3 hours or overnight to ensure they are fully set. - Unmold and Enjoy:
To easily remove the popsicles, run the mold under warm water before pulling them out.
Quick Tips
- Lemon Juice: Adding a teaspoon of lemon juice enhances the flavor, giving the popsicles a subtle zing.
- Sweetness Level: Adjust the amount of honey based on the sweetness of your blueberries and personal preference.
- Serving Size: This recipe makes 6 popsicles, but you can easily double or halve the ingredients to suit your needs.
