Nutritional Information

Yogurt has so many benefits. Since it’s recommended that children age 1 and up get 2 servings of dairy a day, yogurt is a great way to meet that. 

  • It is a great source of calcium, which is needed for healthy bones and teeth
  • Contains probiotics for a healthy gut
  • Whole milk yogurt has fats needed for baby’s brain development
  • A good source of protein for growth and development

Yogurt Fruit Popsicles

Prep Time: 5 minutes
Freeze Time:
 4 hours
Servings: 18 mini popsicles or 6 regular size
Age: 12+ months 

Ingredients

  • 2 cups fruit (see list below)
  • 1 1/2 cups plain yogurt (see notes below)
  • 1/4 cup honey (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place all ingredients into a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. If you want chunky fruit popsicles, then you can add in an additional 1/3 cup of finely chopped fruit into the mixture after it's been blended.
  2. Pour the popsicle mixture into popsicle molds, and place in freezer for at least 4-5 hours.
  3. Serve and enjoy.

 

Notes 

Age: 1 year and up. For babies 9-12 months (omit the honey).

Yield: This recipe makes roughly 3 cups of popsicle mixture. Depending on your popsicle molds, this may be too much or too little. The recipe can easily be cut in half for smaller popsicles (like the ones shown). If you have any mixture left over after pouring them into the molds, this recipe makes a great smoothie:)

Notes on Yogurt: you can use any plain yogurt you prefer – regular, Greek, almond, soy, etc. If you use flavored yogurt, then omit the honey. 

Honey: For babies under 1 year, omit the honey. The amount in this recipe will give you a mildly sweet popsicle, but feel free to adjust once you blend to your tastes. Also note, some brands of Greek yogurt are very tart and will need more honey than the recipe recommends.

Fruits to Try: I usually use frozen fruit in this recipe because it is what I have on hand, but fresh fruit works just as well. If you want to get really fancy, you can mix some different fruits together. Here are 8 fruits we have tried and my kids have given 2 thumbs up to:

  • strawberry
  • blueberry
  • peach
  • pineapple
  • raspberry
  • blackberry
  • cherry
  • mango
