Wild Blueberry and Almond Butter Yogurt Popsicles ~ these vibrant popsicles are made with nonfat yogurt, creamy almond butter, and convenient frozen blueberries for a healthy smoothie on a stick.
Whether you’re a wild blueberry lover, a yogurt lover, or just a popsicle lover, these wild blueberry yogurt pops really hit the spot. They’re so simple you don’t really need a recipe, but let this serve as a reminder that blending up delicious fruit with yogurt and then freezing it is a good thing to do ~ let’s get right to it!
With a few notable exceptions, most of the popsicles I do here on tvfgi are super healthy, and packed with fruit and protein, but with such juicy colors and flavors you’d never know they were so good for you. That’s the magic of popsicles!

I get asked a lot, so here’s the type of popsicle mold I use ~ I love the classic shape and they don’t wear out. Click on the photo for more info.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups frozen wild blueberries, thawed
- 3/4 cup yogurt
- 1/4 cup almond butter
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Blend the berries, yogurt, almond butter, and vanilla in a blender until smooth.
- Pour the mixture into your popsicle mold. Insert sticks and freeze until solid.
- To remove the popsicles immerse the mold in a sink of warm water up to, but not over the top lip of the mold, and hold for 15 seconds, then remove the popsicles.
Make it your own ~
-
- You can play with the ratios of the ingredients in this recipe ~ more almond butter will give it a richer taste.
- Try other fruits, almost anything will work.
- Add your favorite protein powder for an extra nutritious boost.

July 15, 2017 at 12:06 pmThese sound great. Am wondering if peanut butter would also work? Thanks!
Sue
July 15, 2017 at 1:39 pmIt would technically work, Judy, but it doesn’t sound like a great flavor combo to me, peanut butter has a stronger flavor than almond butter…but if it sounds good to you, try it and report back ~ I’m happy to be proven wrong :)

July 14, 2017 at 12:31 pmHow wonderful colors , they take your breath away. One more hit of yours. In our area we may not grow blueberries; so if you do not mind I will go for a raspberries version. To morrow it is! Thank you again, Sue,

July 14, 2017 at 9:34 amIf you don’t have popsicle molds, would the consistency work to serve as ice cream/sherbet?
Sue
July 14, 2017 at 9:45 amI’ve made similar frozen yogurts, Pat, and you can do it. I’ve made CONCORD GRAPE FROZEN YOGURT, CHERRY, and NECTARINE, you can use those recipes as a guide. You can also put this mixture into paper cups, they make great molds, just stand the stick up in them and freeze!
