Strawberry Greek Yogurt Popsicles (Creamy & Easy)
If you want a strawberry popsicle that actually tastes like strawberries, these are the ones to make. They’re creamy, naturally sweet, and made with just a few simple ingredients like yogurt and real fruit. No weird fillers, no artificial flavors, just a super easy recipe that you can blend, pour, and freeze. They’re perfect for hot summer days when you want something cold and refreshing but still a little more satisfying than a typical popsicle.
I started making these when I realized how many store-bought popsicles barely use real fruit, and I wanted something better with ingredients I actually recognized. I’ve made a lot of variations of these over time, and this strawberry version is one I come back to often because it’s so simple and always turns out well. Using Greek yogurt adds a little protein and makes them extra creamy, so they feel like a fun treat that’s also a bit more filling.
If you keep frozen strawberries on hand like I do, there are a few other easy recipes you can make with them. I use them all the time for smoothies, especially strawberry blackberry smoothie or strawberry peach mango smoothies, and they also work really well in smoothie bowls. If you want something a little more dessert-like, the protein peanut butter cups are another easy option I always have in the freezer.
Ingredients
A few simple ingredients come together here, but each one plays a role in the texture and flavor.
- Strawberries – Frozen strawberries work best since they’re easy to keep on hand and help the mixture stay cold and thick. You can use fresh strawberries if you have them.
- Banana – A ripe banana adds natural sweetness and helps make the popsicles extra creamy. Depending on how ripe it is, you may not need any additional sweetener.
- Greek yogurt – Greek yogurt makes these creamy and adds a little protein. Full-fat will give you the creamiest result, but 0% or low-fat will still work. Want this to be dairy free? Use a dairy free greek style yogurt (the thicker the better).
- Sweetener (optional) – You can add honey or maple syrup if needed. Blend everything first, taste, and then add sweetener as needed before blending again.
Step by step
Start by pulsing up the frozen strawberries in the food process or high speed blender. Next add the banana and pulse well. This will start to thicken, it may be tough to pulse. Add the yogurt and blend until smooth. Taste the mixture, if needed add 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey. Blend well to incorporate. Pour the mixture into popsicle molds and freeze at least 4 hours. 
When you want to remove them from the molds, let them sit out on the counter for 5 minute before removing.
Equipment you will need
- You will need a food processor or a high speed blender to blend up the fruit mixture.
- You will also need a popsicle mold. The one I have is quite small; we found it at the grocery store on a whim. I linked to the mold in my Amazon cart that I will be purchasing.
Sam’s Tips
- Swirl in mix-ins for texture – If you want visible swirls (like peanut butter or extra fruit), blend the base first, then gently swirl in the add-in with a knife instead of blending it in.
- Add extra protein – You can blend in 1–2 scoops of collagen peptides to increase the protein without changing the flavor.
- Add a chocolate coating – For a fun upgrade, dip the frozen popsicles in melted chocolate to create a thin chocolate shell

Recipe Notes
- Let popsicles sit before removing – Let the popsicles sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes before removing them from the mold so they release more easily.
- Or run under water briefly – If you’re short on time, run the molds under room temperature water for a few seconds to help loosen them. Avoid hot water so they don’t melt too quickly.
- Using fresh strawberries? 1 pound of fresh strawberries, hulled (stems removed) can be used in place of frozen strawberries.

How to store homemade popsicles
Once frozen, the popsicles can be stored in their mold or transferred to a freezer safe bag (this make its easier to grab and eat). Just make sure you put a small piece of wax paper between the frozen popsicles if you intend on stacking them on top of each other.
I would love to make these ASAP! But, the amount of the dairy-free yogurt is not mentioned. Is it an 8oz container?
The yogurt containers are 5.3 oz!
