4 Ingredient Blueberry Yogurt Popsicles Recipe
Introduction
These 4 Ingredient Blueberry Yogurt Popsicles are a refreshing and healthy treat, perfect for warm days. Made with simple ingredients, they deliver a creamy texture with bursts of sweet blueberry flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 ½ tablespoons honey
- 2 ½ cups vanilla yogurt (Greek or regular), whole milk or 2% fat
- 3-4 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Step 1: Heat the blueberries and honey together in a small saucepan over medium heat. Simmer for several minutes until the blueberries start to burst and release their juices. Mash them slightly with a fork, leaving some berries whole. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Step 2: In a bowl, whisk the yogurt and milk together. Add just enough milk to thin the yogurt to a pourable consistency.
- Step 3: Gently fold the cooled blueberry mixture into the yogurt. To keep a swirly pattern, avoid mixing too much—otherwise, the mixture will turn a uniform purple.
- Step 4: Spoon the mixture into popsicle molds. Insert popsicle sticks, cover, and freeze for at least 3-4 hours or overnight until solid.
- Step 5: To unmold, hold the popsicle molds under warm water for 20-30 seconds, then carefully pull out the popsicles.
Tips & Variations
- Use Greek yogurt for a thicker, protein-packed popsicle, or regular yogurt for a lighter texture.
- Add a splash of lemon juice to the blueberry mixture for a bright, tangy flavor.
- Try swapping blueberries for raspberries or strawberries for a different berry twist.
- For a vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup and use coconut or almond milk yogurt.
Storage
Store the popsicles in their molds or an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. To enjoy, let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before eating, or run warm water over the molds to loosen them.
How to Serve
Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.
FAQs
Can I use frozen blueberries?
Yes, frozen blueberries work well and can be used directly in the recipe. Just allow the mixture to cool completely before folding into the yogurt.
What if I don’t have popsicle molds?
You can use small paper cups and wooden sticks or ice cube trays. Popsicles made in cups might be smaller and require a bit longer to freeze solid.

Description
These 4 Ingredient Blueberry Yogurt Popsicles are a healthy and refreshing frozen treat made with fresh or frozen blueberries, honey, creamy vanilla yogurt, and a splash of milk.

Ingredients
Blueberry Mixture
- 1 ½ cups fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 ½ tablespoons honey
Yogurt Base
- 2 ½ cups vanilla yogurt (Greek or regular), whole milk or 2% fat
- 3–4 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Simmer Blueberries and Honey: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the blueberries and honey. Simmer for several minutes until the blueberries begin to burst and release their juices. Gently mash the berries with a fork, leaving some whole for texture. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely.
- Prepare Yogurt Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the vanilla yogurt and milk. Add just enough milk to thin the yogurt to a pourable consistency, making it easier to mix with the blueberry mixture.
- Combine Mixtures: Carefully fold the cooled blueberry mixture into the yogurt blend. Stir gently to create a swirled effect—overmixing will blend the colors into purple instead of maintaining the pretty swirl.
- Fill Molds and Freeze: Spoon the mixture into popsicle molds, insert popsicle sticks, cover, and place in the freezer. Freeze for at least 3-4 hours or overnight until fully solid.
- Unmold and Serve: To remove the popsicles, run the molds under warm water for 20-30 seconds and then gently pull out the popsicles. Enjoy immediately or store in the freezer for later.
Notes
- Use Greek yogurt for a thicker, creamier texture, or regular yogurt for a lighter result.

- For extra flavor, consider adding a splash of lemon juice to the blueberry mixture before cooling.
- Ensure the blueberry mixture is completely cooled before combining with yogurt to prevent melting.
- Popsicles can be stored in an airtight container or wrapped individually in plastic wrap for up to 1 week.
