Ingredients You’ll Need
-
Fresh Strawberry Mixture:
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Additional:
- 1/2 cup granola
How to Make Strawberry Breakfast Popsicles
Step 1: Blend the Strawberry Mixture
In your blender, add the chopped strawberries, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, milk of your choice, and a dash of vanilla extract. Blend on high until the mixture turns silky smooth and creamy. You want everything combined perfectly, so taste for sweetness and adjust if needed—this is your base for irresistible Strawberry Breakfast Popsicles!
Step 2: Layer in the Granola
Take your popsicle molds and add a spoonful of granola to the bottom of each one. This little touch infuses every bite with crunch and hearty goodness, making each pop taste like a complete morning meal.
Step 3: Pour and Top
Pour your blended strawberry-yogurt mixture into each mold, filling almost to the top but leaving a bit of room for expansion as they freeze. If you like extra crunch, sprinkle a bit more granola on top before sealing them off with the popsicle sticks.
Step 4: Freeze Until Solid
Tap the molds gently on the counter to remove any air bubbles and insert the popsicle sticks. Transfer your molds to the freezer and let them chill for 4 to 6 hours, or until perfectly solid and ice cold. Waiting is the hardest part, but it’s so worth it!
Step 5: Release and Enjoy
When you’re ready to dive in, run the molds under warm water for a few seconds to help loosen the popsicles. Gently pull them out and enjoy your chilly, fruity Strawberry Breakfast Popsicles right away.
How to Serve Strawberry Breakfast Popsicles
Garnishes
Take these popsicles over the top by dipping them briefly in extra granola or a sprinkle of toasted coconut right after unmolding. For a decadent touch, drizzle with a little more honey. Presentation matters, and these simple touches make each pop even more inviting!
Side Dishes
While each pop is a self-contained breakfast, they pair beautifully with a small bowl of seasonal fresh fruit or a hot cup of herbal tea. For kids, a few apple slices or a smoothie rounds out the meal perfectly—simple sides that make breakfast feel extra special.
Creative Ways to Present
Strawberry Breakfast Popsicles are a showstopper at brunches! Arrange them over crushed ice on a platter or stick each pop into an individual glass filled with granola for mingling guests. For a fun twist, serve them in mini mason jars labeled with names for a personalized breakfast treat everyone will rave about.
Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
If you’re lucky enough to have any extras, just leave the popsicles in their molds or transfer to an airtight freezer-safe bag. They’ll hold their flavor and texture for a week or more—ready for a grab-and-go breakfast or a healthy snack any time you need a pick-me-up.
Freezing
These popsicles keep exceptionally well in the freezer. After unmolding, layer parchment between them if you’re stacking, to prevent sticking. Perfect for weekend meal prep or whenever strawberry cravings strike.
Reheating
No reheating required for these icy delights—just a quick moment under warm water is all it takes to help slide them out of the molds smoothly and enjoy immediately.
FAQs
Can I use frozen strawberries for Strawberry Breakfast Popsicles?
Absolutely! Frozen strawberries work just as well as fresh. There’s no need to defrost—just blend them straight from the freezer for an extra-chilled mix, which also makes for an even creamier frozen treat.
How can I make these dairy-free?
Simple swaps mean everyone can enjoy these popsicles! Use coconut yogurt and your preferred plant-based milk (like almond or oat) for a dairy-free and vegan-friendly version that’s just as creamy and delicious.
How long do Strawberry Breakfast Popsicles need to freeze?
They’ll need at least 4 to 6 hours to set up completely in the freezer. For the firmest, easiest-to-release popsicles, an overnight freeze is best. Waiting is tough, but trust me, it’s worth it for that frosty finish!
What if I don’t have popsicle molds?
No fancy equipment needed! You can use small paper cups and wooden sticks instead. Pour in the mixture, pop in the sticks, freeze, and then simply peel away the paper cups when you’re ready to eat.
Can I customize the flavors in Strawberry Breakfast Popsicles?
Definitely—experiment with different fruits like raspberries or blueberries, flavored yogurts, or swaps like agave instead of honey. The base recipe is endlessly versatile, so have fun making your new favorite breakfast pop!
