Share

Start your day with a refreshing and healthy choice! This Fro-Yo Fruit Popsicle recipe is not only delicious but also packed with nutrients, making it the perfect breakfast on-the-go. Here’s how you can make these delightful treats at home.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups frozen fruit (choose from mango, pineapple chunks, raspberries, or blackberries)
  • 1 1/4 cups plain whole milk Greek yogurt
  • 1/3 cup unflavored whey protein powder
  • 1/4 cup oat milk
  • 1 Tbsp honey, plus more for drizzling (optional)
  • 1 Tbsp hemp hearts
  • 1/4 cup granola (crumbled if large chunks)
  • Tajín, unsweetened cocoa powder, or freeze-dried dragon fruit powder for sprinkling

Directions

  1. In a blender, puree the fruit, yogurt, whey powder, oat milk, and honey until smooth, about 1 minute.
  2. Pour the mixture into 10 ice-pop molds and tap to settle into an even layer. Top with hemp hearts, then granola. Insert a wooden stick into each pop.
  3. Freeze until firm, at least 6 hours. Unmold by dipping the molds in warm water for easy release, sprinkle with your choice of seasoning powder, and drizzle with additional honey if desired.

These popsicles can be stored in the freezer for up to two weeks, making them a handy and healthy option for a hot summer day.

Pro tips for perfect popsicles

  • Go for whole: Using full-fat yogurt instead of nonfat yields creamier results and helps keep you fuller longer.
  • Save leftovers: If you have extra mixture, pour it into an ice cube tray for an easy addition to your next smoothie.
  • Loosen up: For easy popsicle release, dip the molds in warm water to help them slide out smoothly.
