YOU GUYS.
Let’s talk about the best snack your summer will see: bright, colorful, refreshing, and healthy.
These froyo pops are cute, cooling, and ridiculously easy — ready to become your new warm-weather obsession.
It’s popsicle week — a perfect excuse to stock the freezer with homemade treats. I’ve been making popsicles for years and there’s something about summer that makes them feel essential.
These fruity froyo pops are one of my favorite easy projects once it warms up. I always keep a small mold on hand for snack-sized pops that are perfect for little hands.
If you have extra smoothie or leftover juice, pour it into the mold — it’s the simplest way to use up extras and make a healthy snack in minutes.
A quick sidebar: I once ruined a favorite outfit by letting a blueberry-peach popsicle stain set in the dryer. If you make these with kids, be prepared for colorful chaos — but also for big smiles.
Another real-life moment: I misplaced the lid to my popsicle mold and spent hours searching the kitchen. It turned into a small adventure of its own, but the pops still turned out delicious.
Because my kid can eat popsicles now, I kept these clean and simple — just fruit and yogurt. If you want them sweeter, add honey or another sweetener to taste. I used only a touch of honey in the kiwi layer to reduce any bitterness.
The ingredient list is embarrassingly simple — fresh fruit and yogurt. No artificial colors, just natural hues from the fruit.
I tried to get as close to ROY G BIV as possible without food coloring. I experimented with blue spirulina but it leaned green, so I combined the cooler colors into one layer. The final lineup:
strawberry
mango
pineapple
kiwi
black raspberry
vanilla yogurt
There’s both yellow and orange in the pops, and while the distinction can be subtle, the mango layer is especially bright and the strawberry layer is my favorite.
For the yogurt base I used a mix of plain Greek and vanilla Greek yogurt — the vanilla adds a touch of sweetness and creaminess. Use whatever yogurt you prefer: plain, vanilla, flavored, or even dairy-free alternatives.
These pops are versatile: make a full rainbow, use a single fruit, or mix fruit combinations. You can layer them for stripes or blend everything together for swirls. They’re forgiving and perfect for using whatever you have on hand.
They freeze creamy and delicious, making a perfect afternoon snack — and yes, they also make a fine quick breakfast. Fruit plus yogurt = wholesome and satisfying.

Ingredients
- 3 cups vanilla or plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup black raspberries
- 1/2 cup chopped kiwi
- 1/2 cup chopped pineapple
- 1/2 cup chopped mango
- 1/2 cup chopped strawberries
- honey for sweetening, if desired
Instructions
-
Scoop the yogurt into six 1/2-cup portions in separate bowls. Set aside while you puree each fruit.
-
Puree each fruit in a blender or food processor, one at a time. To minimize washing, blend lighter fruits first (pineapple, mango, kiwi, strawberry, then black raspberry). Add a tablespoon or two of water or juice if needed to help blend.
-
Stir each fruit puree into a bowl of yogurt, leaving one bowl plain if you want a yogurt layer. Add honey to taste if desired.
-
To layer without colors running, spoon each colored yogurt into a piping bag or zip-top bag and snip the tip. Squeeze about 2 tablespoons into the mold for each layer, repeating until full. Save any extra fruit-yogurt for smoothies.
-
Freeze for at least 4 to 6 hours, then enjoy.
