They’re creamy and delicious, easy to make ahead, and healthy too. They’re absolutely a must this summer!
Blueberry Yogurt Popsicles Notes:
Keep reading for ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.
Sweetness: When the blueberries are fresh and sweet, you need very little natural sweetness. Add honey to taste. If the berries are not so sweet, I will often add up to 1/4 cup of honey for the little kids.
Flavor: Lightly simmering the berries into a puree before mixing them with the yogurt boosts that delicious flavor you expect in a blueberry popsicle.
Yogurt: A full-fat Greek yogurt is best in these popsicles for texture and flavor. Full-fat yogurts lend a beautiful creamy texture to the popsicle. Light or skim yogurts can be more tart and icy in texture. That being said, use your favorite yogurt in these pops.

How to Make Blueberry Yogurt Popsicles
Details on how to make these Blueberry Popsicles are in the recipe card below, but here is a summary:
Step 1: Make a Blueberry Puree
Begin by making a blueberry puree. In a saucepan, bring blueberries and honey to a simmer. Continue to cook until the blueberries release their juices and then mash with a fork and let cool.
If you want the popsicles smooth with no chunks of berries, puree the mixture in a blender and strain to remove any remaining skins. I usually skip this step as I prefer blueberry popsicles with strains of berries in them.
Step 2: Yogurt
Whisk yogurt, lemon juice, and milk together. Then fold the cooled blueberry mixture into the yogurt. If you like a marbled popsicle, stir only a couple of times.
Step 3: Freeze
Pour the blueberry yogurt mixture into six 3-ounce popsicle molds. Place the sticks into the molds, cover them, and freeze for at least 3 hours to overnight.

Blueberry Yogurt Popsicles: Healthy Summer Treats
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups fresh or frozen blueberries
- 3 tablespoons honey or to taste
- 2 1/2 cups Greek Yogurt vanilla or plain
- 3-4 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice optional but delicious!
Instructions
- Heat the blueberries and honey in a small saucepan over medium heat. Simmer until the blueberries release their juices; 4 to 5 minutes. Mash the blueberries with a fork and let them cool (see notes).
- Whisk the yogurt, lemon juice, and milk together.
- Fold the cooled blueberry mixture into the yogurt. For a marbled effect, stir only a couple of times so there are streaks of color. For a solid color until blended.
- Pour the mixture into six 3-ounce popsicle molds. Place the sticks into the molds, cover, and freeze for at least 3 hours to overnight. To unmold, run it under warm water before pulling the popsicles from their molds.
Notes
Blueberry Puree
- If you want a smooth popsicle with no chunks of berries, puree the blueberry mixture and then strain with a fine-mesh strainer. Add the blueberry mixture to the yogurt and proceed with the recipe.
Make-Ahead and Storage
- The blueberry purée can be made ahead up to about 5 days. Store in an air-tight container.
- Unmold and wrap each popsicle tightly with plastic wrap to freeze for up to 1 month.
Ingredient Notes
- I prefer the texture and flavor with a full-fat Greek yogurt. Low fat yogurts can produce more tart flavors in popsicles.
