1. Sunset Strawberry-Yogurt Pops That Taste Like Vacation

Save

These swirly pink pops bring big berry vibes with creamy tang. They’re simple, pretty, and perfect for backyard hangs or post-workout cool-downs. You’ll make a batch once and keep them on repeat.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled
• 3/4 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons honey (or to taste)
• 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt

Instructions:

1. Blend strawberries, honey, lemon juice, and salt until smooth.
2. In a bowl, stir yogurt with vanilla.
3. Layer strawberry puree and yogurt into 8 popsicle molds, swirling lightly with a skewer.

Serve on a hot day with extra sliced strawberries on the side. Swap in raspberries or blackberries, or go half vanilla yogurt, half strawberry for extra marbling. FYI, silicone molds release easiest.
