Frozen Yogurt Patriotic Popsicle Recipe

This post was written as a partnership with Yoplait®. 

With the heat of summer here and the 4th of July coming up I wanted to make an EASY frozen yogurt popsicle for the kiddos! My kids helped me make everything…..and eat it all of course! They LOVED the red, white, and blue striped yogurt popsicles we made!

Below are the recipes we created although we picked up a lot of flavors of yogurt at our local grocery store. I even grabbed a couple of lactose free flavors for the baby! Each recipe makes a smoothie so you can drink it as such or freeze it like we did for our popsicles!

HOW to MAKE your Frozen Yogurt Popsicle

One I made all 3 batches of the above smoothie recipes I was ready to get started on our red, white, and blue frozen yogurt popsicles! I pour enough of the Mixed Berry Smoothie to cover about 1/3 of an empty  yogurt container, added a Jumbo craft stick, and popped it in the freezer for an hour. I did this with all of the empty yogurt containers I had available.

After that layer had mostly frozen I pour in the Peach & Honey Smoothie creating the white layer of the popsicle leaving about 1/3 of the top open for my last layer. Freeze for an hour. You’re ready for your last layer! Pour in the Blueberry Peach Smoothie till your yogurt container is full and freeze until hardened.

Once it is frozen remove it from the freezer and cut the BOTTOM of the yogurt container off as shown in the photo above.

Gently push the frozen popsicle up through the opening in your yogurt container.

And VOILA! There you go! If you don’t have the time to layer everything you can simply pour each (or just one) smoothie into empty yogurt containers! These recipe amounts were PERFECT because we were able to pour off four small smoothies and had plenty for frozen yogurt popsicles too! It really was just the right amount for one round of smoothies and popsicles so just double or triple your batch if you need more.

This cool treat is a healthy snack for your kids and I much prefer for them to grab these out of the freezer than grabbing sugary popsicles! If you’d rather just pour your smoothie into an already made popsicle mold I highly recommend these – we have used our set for a few years now and love them!
