Ingredients

  • Frozen Strawberries – you could also use fresh when they are in season. I always have a bag of frozen strawberries on hand though!
  • Banana – this helps add creaminess to the pops and a bit of sweetness.
  • Dairy free yogurt – this makes the pops super creamy and delicious.
  • Maple Syrup (optional) – if you find your frozen strawberries were not sweet enough, add some maple syrup for sweetness.

How to make these dairy free popsicles

Step 1: Start by crushing up the strawberries in the food processor or high speed blender.

Step 2: Add the banana and blend well. The mixture should get creamy at this point.

Step 3: Once the fruit is well incorporated, add the dairy free yogurt and blend well.

Step 4: Taste the mixture. If you would like to increase the sweetness, add 1-2 tablespoons of maple syrup.

TIP: You can also add 1-2 scoops of collagen peptides – not vegan. This would be great if you are looking for ways to increase your protein intake or increase your children’s protein intake.

Step 5: Pour the mixture into popsicle molds and place in the freezer to freeze at least 4 hours up to overnight.

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.

Top tips

Frozen yogurt pops tend to want to stick to the molds once frozen.

  • The best thing I have found is to let them sit out on the counter for 5 minutes before removing the popsicle from the mold.
  • If you need these even faster, run the molds under warm (not hot) water for a few seconds or dip them in warm water. This should help you remove them quickly as well.

Other flavors you can add

  • Fresh basil
  • Fresh mint
  • Lemon juice or lime juice
  • Almond butter, cashew butter, sunflower seed butter, tahini
  • Chocolate chips, coconut flakes, chopped nuts
  • Sliced fresh berries for texture

Can you use fresh or frozen strawberries?

Yes! I used frozen strawberries since they were the budget friendly option when choosing organic. However you can use fresh or frozen strawberries to make this recipe!

How to store homemade popsicles

Once frozen, you can store the strawberry popsicles in a freezer safe bag in the freezer. 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.

Recipe Notes

1 pound of fresh strawberries, hulled (stems removed) can also be used in place of frozen strawberries.
Any dairy free yogurt can be used. I try to buy unsweetened plain for this recipe.
Tips on how to remove the popsicles after freezing:
  • The best thing I have found is to let them sit out on the counter for 5 minutes.
  • If you don’t have that kind of time, run the popsicles under warm (not hot) water for a few seconds. You can also dunk them into a bowl of warm water. 
Budget Tips: 
  • Use strawberries in season to reduce the cost of this recipe. The price in this recipe reflects organic frozen strawberries. 
  • Buy dairy free yogurt on sale to reduce the cost of this recipe. You can freeze dairy free yogurt to prolong how long you have it on hand. Freeze in the container it came in for up to 3 months.
