Clean Eating Blueberry Yogurt Pops

Clean Eating Blueberry Yogurt Pops

It’s summer. We’ve forgotten all about winter, cold and rain (or snow), and have moved on to shorts, tanks and flip-flops.

When the hot weather really hits, most people head for the nearest freezer isle of a local grocery store.

Not me! Nope, nope, nope! I head straight for my own freezer. These delicious pops are the perfect end to a blistering hot day. Cool and refreshing, you may never look for that freezer isle again!

Munchkin Helpers:

If you have little ones, here’s how they can help (With close supervision, of course).

Let the lil’ tikes put the measured ingredients into the mixing container. Older kids can blend and pour the liquid into the popsicle form.

Note: No matter how young or old your kids are, the hardest part about this recipe is waiting for the pops to freeze.

    I love blueberries so I’m definitely going to try this recipe. I’m following Weightwatchers, so I really appreciate that you post the nutritional info for your recipes!

    Marjorie – Let me know how you like them!

  • Emma

    I have pops like these in my freezer right now as well, but I just used plain yogurt and frozen berries. Do you have a recipe for fudgesicles? All the ones I’ve found online seem to use either cornstarch or a chocolate pudding mix, which I don’t really want to use.

  • http://www.thegraciouspantry.com The Gracious Pantry

    Emma – That’s a fantastic suggestion! I know just how to do it too. I’ll work on the recipe over the next few days.

    Emma – Is there a particular reason you avoid cornstarch?

  • Carrie

    I have a question about the yogurt – what kind did you use?

  • http://www.thegraciouspantry.com The Gracious Pantry

    Carrie – I used non-fat greek yogurt. But you can use any kind of plain yogurt you have on hand. Regular yogurt works just as well and can even have a smoother texture.

    That looks really good. Only one problem, blueberries have been on sale here $2.99 for 18 ounces, that’s a fantastic price. The problem is that they only last about 30 minutes after I get them home. We eat them up right away! I’d have to sneak a package into the freezer :)

    Aaron – You can use fresh blueberries too. It all goes into the freezer anyway.

  • Emma

    I’d rather not use corn starch, because the only thing I would really use it for would be to make the fudgesicles, so I would basically just have a big box of corn starch sitting mostly unused in the pantry. I can’t wait to see the recipe :)

  • http://www.thegraciouspantry.com The Gracious Pantry

    Emma – I see. I wasn’t sure if there was some reason for the cornstarch to be considered “un-clean”. I’ve always assumed it is. That’s why I asked.

  • Shefali

    Stumbled on your blog today! Love it and passed the link on to my friends. Already made this recipe and looking forward to trying it tomorrow when they’re ready!

  • http://www.thegraciouspantry.com The Gracious Pantry

    Thanks Shefali! I’m so glad you enjoyed my blog. Thanks for stopping by! I hope you enjoy the yogurt pops!

  • Bridget

    I have made this same recipe using fresh or frozen strawberries….so good.
    I think fudgesicles could be made using the “chocolate banana icecream recipe” Use fresh bananas, milk, cocoa & agave or honey blend together then freeze.

    Bridget – You would have to add some dairy. The banana ice cream does not freeze well at all. It turns into a rather icky substance actually. But I bet if you added some dairy, like yogurt, it would be wonderful!
