Ready in 10 min, calcium & potassium-rich, this homemade frozen fruit yogurt popsicle recipe for babies and toddlers is a big win. A perfect healthy summer snack for kids made from just 3 ingredients - blueberries, banana, and yogurt with the addition of an optional sweetener.

4 fruit popsicles surrounded by whole blueberries

Summer is the perfect time for popsicles. I find them to be the easiest summer snack for kids when they're hungry a few hours after lunch and are longing for something cool and sweet. Great after a nap to give them a boost for afternoon activities.

I don't know about you but I've yet to find a store-bought popsicle that I am completely satisfied with. Most of the time they are just watery and sugary without any "real" ingredients. And they give kids a crazy sugar rush.

Why we love them:

  • 10 min prep
  • Made with just 3 ingredients
  • Easy DIY frozen yogurt popsicle
  • Perfect for healthy snack idea for even the youngest babies, and toddlers and kids
  • Easy activity for toddlers

Nutrition And Ingredients

fruit popsicle ingredients
  • Banana - use fully ripe (even overripe) bananas here as they are sweeter. A great source of potassium and carbohydrates that provide energy for the body
  • Greek Yogurt - you can use any type of full-fat yogurt (we have made this using goat's yogurt and greek yogurt). Great source of protein, fat, calcium, and vitamin B2
  • Blueberries - a great source of fiber and various vitamins as well as a powerful antioxidant (one of the best)
  • Natural sweetener - optional if you want it sweeter (or you have underripe bananas). Use agave, date syrup, or honey (for over 1-year-olds). Does not spike blood sugar like regular table sugar.

How to make frozen yogurt popsicles?

collage of step by step process

1. Prepare all the ingredients. Put the banana, greek yogurt, blueberries and sweetener (if using one) into a blender.

2. Blend until you have a smooth consistency.

3. Finalize your popsicles. Fill your popsicle mold with the frozen yogurt mixture and place in the freezer. We use this silicone mold and get 6 popsicles.

4. Freeze and serve. Freeze for about 6 hours before serving.

FAQ

At what age can babies and toddlers have popsicles?

If you're not using honey, babies can have popsicles from the moment they start weaning when we're talking about these ingredients. If using honey they must be at least one year old. BUT, small babies might not be able to hold the popsicle or tolerate the coldness so from our experience kids over the age of 2 are the ones who usually have no issues with them.

Best mold to use to make DIY popsicles?

There are many different options in shops and on Amazon. We chose this very simple silicone popsicle mold because it is sturdy to pour the mixture in, and very easy to get the popsicles out once frozen. It also comes with reusable sticks so you are not hurting the planet.

How to make fruit popsicles with kids?

This is a great activity for toddlers and bigger kids to work on their fine motor skills. They can wash the blueberries, cut the banana with a child safe knife, measure the yogurt and then add it all to the blender.

Finally, after blending let them pour the mixture into the popsicle mold and add the sticks.

Tips & Tricks For The Perfect Popsicle

Use fresh blueberries. If you use frozen ones no matter how much or long you drain them they will still be moist and therefore add water to the popsicle which will make them less creamy. And that end result might not be the same as when using fresh blueberries.

Use a ripe banana. Although this is not a must, I would recommend you use a ripe banana as it will give more sweetness to the popsicle. But if you like less sweet options you can easily go for an under-ripe one if you have a good blender.

Allow enough time to freeze. To make sure that the popsicles are really ideal for eating, you need to allow enough time for them to fully freeze. When I tested the recipe, I found that anything less than 6 hours is just not enough causing them to break when you take them out from the mold.

Variations

Use another fruit. Although this recipe is called “Frozen Blueberry Yogurt Popsicle” you can use another fruit of choice. I would recommend you stick with forest fruits like raspberries, blackberries, or blackcurrants because they are the most similar to blueberries and they would therefore probably give the same outcome.

Notes

Omit the sweetener if making for babies under 1 because you don't want them to associate snacks with sweetness. 
Use fresh blueberries. This is a must for this Blueberry Yogurt Popsicle. If you use frozen ones no matter how much or long you drain them they will still be moist and therefore add water to the popsicle which will make them less creamy. And that end result might not be the same as when using fresh blueberries.
Use a ripe banana. Although this is not a must, I would recommend you use a ripe banana as it will give more sweetness to the popsicle. But if you like less sweet options you can easily go for an under-ripe one if you have a good blender.
