FAQs

Can I use frozen strawberries?

Yes, just thaw slightly before blending for smoother consistency.

Greek yogurt offers a thick, creamy texture, but any plain or vanilla yogurt works well.

Can I make them without sweetener?

Yes, especially if using sweet, ripe strawberries and flavored yogurt.

How do I make layered popsicles?

Blend strawberries and yogurt separately, then pour in alternating layers and freeze slightly between pours.

Do I need popsicle molds?

No, you can use small paper cups and wooden sticks as an alternative.

Can I use fruit juice instead of yogurt?

You can, but the texture will be more like an ice pop than a creamy popsicle.
