I can’t believe school is almost out! I can hardly wait for the long hot summer days ahead of me. Although I do love summer, I am always looking for something to help cool my kids off from the heat. That’s why I love making these easy homemade frozen yogurt pops. They are so simple to make, healthy for you and delicious!
Mine use 3 simple ingredients: Greek Yogurt, honey, and fruit. BAM! BOOM! So easy! My kids think it’s the greatest thing ever; therefore, making me the best mom in the world.
My secret weapon to making these frozen yogurt pops from scratch are these Ah-mazing Silicone Ice Pop Makers. I tell you these things are worth their weight in gold and not even that expensive! I was able to get them on Amazon for around $15 for a set of 8. Or if you have a smaller family you can get a set of 4 for around $7.00. Seriously the BEST purchase I have made in a long time.
Here are my favorite features of these silicone frozen yogurt pop makers:
- Dishwasher safe. My favorite feature!!! I just add them in the top rack and they are cleaned perfectly easy in the dishwasher.
- Normal frozen Go-Gurts get so cold on their wee hands but with this silicone it’s not as cold to the touch.
- I get to add in my own ingredients so I know my kids are eating real foods, nothing processed.
- I have other Popsicle molds and none of them work for me. The Popsicle sticks always come out and the kids have to suck the goods out of the molds. Running them under hot water doesn’t even do the trick. I don’t have that problem with these silicone ones. They freeze nicely, have nice little lids so they don’t leak, and slide right out of the molds, no problem. If they are in the freezer too many days, then the Popsicle might not come right out. Just run them under hot tap water and they’ll quickly loosen up.
- I love that I no longer have to buy my kids Go-Gurts. I can make them myself, freeze them, plop them in their lunches and by noon they are thawed and ready to eat. I would highly recommend them.

Below is my incredibly easy frozen yogurt pops recipe. I hope you give it a try.
Easy Frozen Yogurt Pops
{makes 8-10 pops}
Ingredients:
1 32 oz. container of plain or vanilla Greek yogurt (My favorite is the Greek Gods Honey flavor)
2 cups fresh or frozen fruit
2-3 tbsp honey (optional)
Method:
In a blender add yogurt, fruit and honey. Blend until well combined.
Pour into molds and place on lid. When you are filling the molds leave an inch space on these silicone pop makers so you have room for expansion and the lid.
Place yogurt pops in the freezer for 5 hours or until frozen.
Note: I like there to be bits and pieces of fruit in my frozen yogurt pops, so I roughly chop half the fruit and stir it into the yogurt, fruit and honey mixture after it’s been blended. My kids like it to be smooth with no fruit chunks, so for them I throw all the fruit in at once and blend.
My favorite flavors are the ones pictured.
1. Mango
2. Red Raspberry
3. Blueberry
4. Strawberry Banana (For this flavor you follow the above directions but add in 1 banana).

I love making smoothies for my kids, and these would be great for freezing the smoothies for lunches. I love to sneak in veggies like kale or spinach in with berries and banana. I also like adding pureed sweet potatoes or pumpkin in with strawberries, pineapple, banana and peaches! Would love to win some of these!!! Thank you!

I am moving to Thailand in a few months and I am thinking that a mango one would be good…I am thinking that since there are some fruits I love that won’t be available to me there I am hoping to find yogurts in those flavors. I also like the idea of adding kale 🙂

We own a small berry farm and am always looking for new ways to use berries. Id love to own these and make em for the grandkids. Wow. I love it. Get to pick my first picking today of strawberries! Then blue berries, raspberries and tay berries.
Lisa Stover says
I think I will try chocolate/ cherry and chocolate/ coconut 🙂
Traci says
I love these! I think I may need more like ’16’ though. =)
Leticia says
How about a coffee flavor for the adults. Mix your favorite milk or plain yogurt, strong coffee, honey or your favorite creamer for sweetness!
Michelle Skinner says
These look great – I love making our own – I add different veggies like carrots, spinach!
samantha says
As crazy as this sounds we like carrots in ours, it gives it a texture that is kind of fun, So we would do that and whatever fruit we have around 🙂
stacey says
We make ice cubes of all kinds of things like whey, water kefir, pumpkin, prune puree, etc. These ice cubes get thrown into our fruit smoothies along with maple syrup, egg yolks, grass-fed gelatin, cacao nibs, spinach, almond butter, nuts, chia seeds, etc. The flavor combinations are endless and delicious! One of our favorites is yogurt, maple syrup, peanut/almond butter, and cacao nibs (or chocolate chips if we’re wanting something extra decadent).
Megan says
I don’t know about you, but we always have excess melon that we can’t eat fast enough on our farm. We love using melon and yogurt for frozen desserts!
Kathryn Hesse says
My husband is lactose intolerant but loves frozen fruit bars. I am working on strawberry (fewer seeds) pureed with a little lemon juice and honey or pure maple syrup as well as water or juice to thin it out a little 🙂
Amanda says
Love yogurt! Perfect snack on a hott summer day at the pool! I would toss in some fruits and veggies to keep myself cool and happy!
Cindy Lou says
Hi – I was peeking at the amazon reviews and some older ones (year + ago) were complaining about a ‘smell’ after subsequent use. I was just curious Karrie, have you had any negative experiences like this with the silicone pop thingies? I’m super stoked to try it but am just curious if the company had maybe ‘fixed’ this (if it was ever actually an issue in the first place).
THANKS!
Karrie says
I haven’t had one issue as of yet – they smell and have been working great for me!
Happy.MoneySaver says
I haven’t had a problem with a smell at all! I have loved having them!
Christine says
These are great!! We made our first popsicles of the season the other day. Frozen strawberries, fresh lemon juice, water and a little stevia, they were so good. I would use these for regular popsicles too. We will also mix yogurt with fruit preserves for breakfast, could stir up a bunch of that and pour into the molds if you don’t have a blender.
Rebeckah Hester says
I MUST purchase these!
My 3 year old son loves yogurt and these will be perfect for the hot summer months and also perfect to pack in his Friday lunch.
Like a lot of the comments above, I am also trying to get away from processed foods. And the disposable yogurt pouches that I sometimes by for my son and pretty pricey.
Our house loves watermelon and cantaloupe. I will have to figure out how to remove some of the juice from the watermelon though so the pops are not too watery.
Amanda says
Love yogurt! A great way to stay cool this summer. I would mix in some fruits and berryies to stay healthy this summer out by the pool.
Amanda J. says
When I lived in Peru you could find people everywhere in the summer selling their fresh fruit frozen pops. Some of the best were mango with milk and their native fruit lucuma with milk. Sadly we can’t get that fruit here for very inexpensive but I would definitely use these to make mango/milk and strawberries/milk pops! I’m really excited about these! And it beats the little plastic popsicle makers!
Shawnda Hicks says
These are awesome! I am definitely ordering these. We love greek yogurt with honey and whatever fruit we have on hand. I would also love to try these with coconut milk!
Andrea says
I’m thinking that adding some cocoa to the yogurt for a fudgecicle would be yummy!

Great find!
