Blueberry Greek Yogurt Popsicles are a refreshing summer treat that work as a healthy dessert, snack, or even breakfast. Made with just five ingredients and naturally sweetened with honey, they’re simple to prepare and crowd-pleasing.
Healthy creamy blueberry popsicles
Think of these popsicles as a frozen blueberry Greek yogurt parfait. Greek yogurt adds protein and creaminess, while a quick blueberry compote concentrates the fruit flavor. The result is a naturally gluten-free, refined sugar–free treat that’s delicious and light.
The base is plain Greek yogurt sweetened with honey and a touch of vanilla, thinned slightly with light coconut milk for a silky texture. Swirled with a warm blueberry compote, the popsicles freeze into beautiful marbled bars that are satisfying without being overly sweet.
Ingredients you’ll need to make this recipe
- Blueberries: Fresh or frozen work; wild blueberries have a more intense flavor if available.
- Greek yogurt: Use plain, unflavored Greek yogurt. Any fat percentage is fine, but 2–5% yields a creamier popsicle.
- Light coconut milk: Adds creaminess and thins the yogurt so it pours easily into molds.
- Honey: Natural sweetener; adjust the amount to taste.
- Vanilla extract: Enhances the yogurt’s flavor.
How to make these popsicles
- Make the blueberry compote: cook the blueberries over medium heat until they break down and the mixture thickens (about 8–12 minutes). Sweeten with honey to taste, then cool completely.
- Whisk together the Greek yogurt, light coconut milk, vanilla, and honey. Add more coconut milk if the yogurt is very thick so it’s easy to spoon or pour.
- Spoon alternating layers of yogurt and cooled blueberry compote into popsicle molds. For a marbled look, run a knife through the layers to swirl them gently.
- Place lids on the molds, insert sticks, and freeze until solid—overnight is best.
How to get the popsicles out of the mould
To release the popsicles easily, hold the mold under warm running water for 30–60 seconds or set the mold in a bowl of hot water for about 30 seconds. Gently pull on the sticks—the popsicles should slide out cleanly.
Tips for making this recipe perfectly
- Choose a popsicle mold that fits your desired shape and volume. Sturdier molds make unmolding easier.
- Use a higher fat Greek yogurt (2–5%) for a creamier texture and to avoid icy popsicles.
- Wild blueberries pack more intense flavor, but common blueberries work well too.
- To create a marbled effect, swirl the layered mixtures with a knife or skewer before freezing.

- Cuisine: American
- Diet: Gluten Free
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 2 cups plain Greek yogurt (I use 5%)
- 1/2 cup light coconut milk
- 1–3 tbsp honey, to taste
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Add the blueberries to a pot over medium heat and cook, stirring frequently, until they break down and the mixture thickens (about 8–12 minutes). Sweeten with honey if desired. Allow to cool completely.
- In a bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, coconut milk, 1–3 tablespoons honey, and vanilla extract. If too thick, add a touch more coconut milk to reach a pourable consistency.
- Spoon alternating layers of yogurt and blueberry compote into popsicle molds. Swirl with a knife or skewer for a marbled effect.
- Place lids on the molds, insert sticks, and freeze overnight.
- To remove, run the mold under warm water for 30–60 seconds and gently pull the sticks to release the popsicles.
Notes
Use a sturdy popsicle mold for easiest removal. Higher-fat yogurt (2–5%) helps prevent icy texture and makes a creamier treat. Wild blueberries offer stronger flavor, but any blueberries will work. For a marbled finish, swirl the layered mixtures before freezing.
