We’ve been loving snacking on our favorite Mixed Berry Popsicles all summer long, but wanted to switch it up so we created these creamy Strawberry Banana Popsicles!
They are so creamy because we used Greek yogurt, which has a higher fat content than regular milk. This reduces the ice in the popsicles when you freeze them.
There’s nothing like a hot summer day, sitting around the pool and enjoying these homemade popsicles loaded with strawberry and banana!
The kids love this healthy snack or dessert and request them over and over again.

How long can I keep homemade popsicles in freezer?
They are best enjoyed within two weeks but they will keep up to 6 months if they are stored at 0 degrees Fahrenheit. It’s best to store them in the back of a freezer as the temperature if more consistent in the back.
Do I need to use frozen fruit in homemade popsicles?
Frozen fruit works best in homemade popsicles. This is because it gives the best blending and consistency.
If you want to use fresh fruit blend it first, then add honey to the fruit and blend again.
