Greek yogurt popsicles full of roasted fruit for a tangy, sweet frozen treat for summer!
I just bought a popsicle maker. Naturally, I’m obsessed with it. I want a popsicle morning, noon, and night. I can always justify an afternoon or evening popsicle after a workout. Late night snacking is my favorite, so you better believe I crack open the freezer for a treat around midnight. But popsicles at breakfast? Not my proudest moment. Until now!
They say Greek yogurt and fresh fruit are good for us, so let’s freeze it! Speaking of freezing things, you might like my Cheesecake Popsicles.
I made the switch to plain Greek yogurt a few months ago, and I’ll be honest: the transition was hard. I craved vanilla bean yogurt. Oh, and the Ba-nilla flavor that is the perfect flavor combo of banana and vanilla, almost like banana cream pie? I pined for it. But, I found that if I stir in a little agave nectar, I can happily eat plain yogurt. Actually, I prefer it now. I think it’s creamier without the sugar.
So, let’s talk fruit. I roasted rosy red plums and strawberries to stir into these popsicles. I’m positively plum obsessed. I love the way they fit in your pocket, and since they’re quite sturdy, that’s where you’ll often find them on me. The strawberries are pretty dreamy after roasting, too.
Any type of summer fruit you want to roast will taste great in these popsicles. Just drizzle a few teaspoons of oil and sugar on the fruit, toss it with your hands, and roast at 400 for less than 30 minutes. Keep an eye on it---the fruit is done when it slumps and the juices oozing from it start to thicken. Watch carefully—they will burn if cooked any longer. If you have the grill all fired up, try grilling the fruit instead of roasting!
Heat + fruit is a good thing. Exhibit A:
Popsicles make you smile. Fact.
Greek Yogurt Popsicles
These popsicles are a yummy way to cool down this summer.
Ingredients
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 3-4 tablespoons agave nectar, to taste
- handful of strawberries, plums, or fruit of your choice
- 2 teaspoons neutral-flavored oil
- 2 teaspoon granulated sugar
Instructions
- First, preheat the oven to 400. Place the fruit on a small sheet pan lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Drizzle the oil and sugar over the fruit, and toss to combine. Roast for 20-25 minutes, just until the juices oozing from the fruit start to thickenâ??watch carefully or it will burn. Let cool completely.
- Next, in a small bowl, stir together the Greek yogurt and 3 tablespoons of agave nectar. Taste, and add the additional tablespoon if you wish.
- In a popsicle mold, layer pieces of roasted fruit with the yogurt mixture. Follow your popsicle manufacturerâ??s directions for freeze times.

LOVE LOVE LOVE GREEK YOGURT. MY KIDS LOVE IT WITH A DRIZZLE OF RAW HONEY. I LOVE IT WITH SLIGHTLY THAWED FROZEN CHERRIES, FOUND ORGANIC BAGS AT COSTCO. SLIGHTLY DEFROST CHERRIES IN THE MICROWAVE UNTIL A LITTLE JUICE STARTS TO COME OUT, ADD YOGURT AND SOMETIMES A LITTLE PURE VANILLA EXTRACT. YUMMY. I WILL HAVE TO TRY THESE POPSICLES. THEY LOOK DIVINE.

I am smiling just thinking about these awesome popsicles! And I am also realizing that I must buy a popsicle maker like stat!!! These are the prefect way to enjoy treats all summer long!

I've wanted to make popsicles since the weather warmed up (I'm in Texas, so you know that was ages ago ;)) and I haven't gotten around to it yet. I recently made some strawberry cake filling and I have plenty left over. I'm thinking that swirled into some Coconut Greek Yogurt and made into popsicles is the way to go!!

Popsicles for breakfast is something I can totally get behind. That, and roasted fruit!

Can someone tell me where to get the popsicle molds? I found the ones with the plastic tops but not the popsicle sticks. Can't wait to make some for my granddaughter. Thanks!

Hi Linda! I bought these popsicle molds at World Market, but I've seen them several places online, too. Best of luck :)

That last picture looks like a modern popsicle ad! XOGREG
Christina Lane says
Your face looks like an ad. One of those ads that I want to buy everything in the ad, assume an entirely different lifestyle and never look back. Is this getting weird? Does it ever not get weird with me + you? XOXO
