★★★★★1 vote

Strawberry Yogurt Popsicles are the perfect grab-and-go snack for kids, adults, and everyone in between! These super creamy, super refreshing strawberry and yogurt popsicles have a hint of lime and tons of fresh, fruity flavor — and with all-natural ingredients, there are no added sugars or dyes to feel guilty about!

Strawberry Yogurt Popsicles

As a mother to a once-picky toddler, I’ve done my fair share of experimenting with homemade snacks!

When my daughter was very little, I threw just about every fruit known to man into a blender to make a dessert she’d like: blueberry vanilla one day, raspberry lemonade the next, pineapple orange the next… you get the picture.

Now she’s not so little and not so picky, but she still loves these strawberry lime popsicles! 

That mix of sweet and tangy is one that adults love too. After all, between the lime and strawberries, we’re basically halfway to a mojito!

Strawberries are the super summer fruit — they’re great in a salad, in a milkshake, or all on their own. Heck, I even use them in my homemade dog treats!! Truly a fruit for every member of the family.

Ingredient Notes and Substitutions

• Strawberries – Since the berries need to soak in the honey, I wouldn’t recommend using frozen fruit. They’re still super mushy and wet once thawed, so they won’t macerate properly.
  
• Honey – The secret to these naturally sweet strawberry yogurt popsicles is letting the berries soak (or macerate) in honey to really absorb the sweetness without using a ton of added sugar.
  
  Maple syrup is another fantastic natural sweetener you can use. A homemade simple syrup or agave both work great too.
  
• Yogurt – With all the sweetness and flavor from the fruit, you don’t need to use super-sweet yogurt — I always use plain.
  
  Greek yogurt is a great way to add more protein and extra tanginess.
  
  When it comes to brands, try to avoid any that use artificial gums and pectins. Those are what give some yogurts that “chalky” texture that coats your mouth. 
  
• Lime Juice – Get a nice, ripe lime and juice it well to get about ¼ cup of juice. You could also use the bottled stuff for this strawberry lime popsicle recipe if fresh is hard to come by!

Tips and Tricks to Make Perfect Strawberry Popsicles With Yogurt

• Use fruit that’s in season for the best flavor and texture.

You’re not going to get much juice and flavor from unripe berries!

Ripe strawberries are a bright, uniform red color and are just a little squishy. Their leaves will be green, not brown.

Cut off those slightly green tips and any brownish spots!

• Use full-fat yogurt for creamy results.

The trick to creamy strawberry yogurt popsicles is to limit the amount of water you’re introducing to the mixture.

And unfortunately, those low-fat and skim substitutes all have a higher water content than their full-fat counterparts.

You totally can make strawberry popsicles with yogurt substitutes like those, but the texture will be more icy than soft and creamy.

• Variations and add-ins are fun… in moderation.

You really want to stick to a ratio of 1:1 yogurt and other ingredients to get a good texture.

So if you’re adding other fruit or ingredients that are recommended in our flavor variations section, you’ll want to replace some of the strawberries or just add a little more yogurt!

• Make your strawberry lime popsicles dairy-free!

If you have a dairy allergy or intolerance, you don’t need to skip over this strawberry lime popsicle recipe!

Substitute the yogurt with any of your preferred dairy-free yogurt brands. 

You can also use coconut milk, but it’s not as thick and creamy as yogurt. Add another thickening agent like blended bananas (yum!), a nut butter (like peanut or almond), or a tablespoon or two of coconut cream as well. 

Prep Ahead

• Chop strawberries
• Mix berries and honey
• Juice lime

Kitchen Tools You Will Need

• Citrus Juicer – This gets every last drop out, which makes juicing limes so much easier.
• Blender – A high-powered blender is a must in every kitchen!
• Ice Pop Mold – Silicone molds are ideal! This one comes with reusable sticks too.
• Heavy Duty Aluminum Foil – This is thicker and sturdier than regular foil, meaning it won’t tear as easily.

Tasty Mix In Ideas

There are so many fruits that taste amazing in these strawberry and yogurt popsicles. Peaches, blueberries, bananas, and blackberries are particularly scrumptious options!

Want a few fruity chunks in your pops? Don’t blend them all the way, or simply leave out a few of the diced berries and stir them throughout before adding to the molds.

And you don’t need to stick to fruit, by the way! Add chocolate shavings or stir waves of chocolate syrup through the molds for chocolatey goodness in every bite.

Storing Strawberry and Yogurt Popsicles

I use a sort of “nesting” technique for storing homemade popsicles.

Each one goes in a sandwich bag (or wrapped in parchment), and then all of those go in a larger gallon-size bag. They stay fresh longer that way.

The texture will be best within 2 weeks, but they rarely last that long in our house!
