Raspberry Honey Greek Yogurt Popsicles, the perfect healthy treat to beat this summer heat!
Some of my fondest childhood summer memories include lots of swimming and popsicles. I mean who can resist an icy cold treat when it is scorching hot outside. So many icy treats out there are filled with preservatives and dyes, I wanted to create a popsicle that is somewhat healthy.
These Raspberry Honey Greek Yogurt Popsicles are a bit tart from the yogurt but sweet from the honey and raspberries. I typically start by adding on about half of the simple syrup then adjust to taste as I do not like my popsicles to be overly sweet.
They are the perfect healthy alternative to indulge in during summer and so super simple to make.
Pro Tip:
If your Raspberry Honey Greek Yogurt popsicles are not coming out of the mold easily run a bit of cold water on the outside for 10-15 seconds and they will pop right out.
Making popsicles at home is super simple and there are so many varieties to make. Plus, it is a low cost way to indulge in an icy cold treat during summer, have you seen the prices of ice cream lately? Yikes! Of course in 117 degree AZ summer heat that is all my kids want for a snack.
These Raspberry Honey Greek Yogurt popsicles are sure to please while you are enjoying the summer heat poolside or heck just staying inside.
Enjoy!
