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!
TIP:ย As always, be sure to taste before you commit your pops to the freezer ~ add a bit of honey if you like it sweeter, a little squeeze of lemon if you want more tang.
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.
Note: I don’t use the top provided, it tends to get stuck when trying to remove it after freezing. I prefer to use a sheet of foil.
Wild Blueberry and Almond Butter Yogurt Popsicles
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups wild blueberries, thawed from frozen
- 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 on high speed 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.
Notes
- 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.

I make real food healthy ice cream and popsicles for the grandkids all the time. I do like the looks of that popsicle mold. The color of you pops are so rich and vibrant I can’t wait to try your recipe… so glad I found your blog
SO much better than those nasty popsicles I loved as a kid!! So beautiful and packed full of flavor and actual nutrients ๐
These sound great. Am wondering if peanut butter would also work? Thanks!
It 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 ๐
Low in carbs and calories! And so pretty too. Thanks for the great recipe – it is absolutely brilliant ๐
The color of these popsicles has me swooning Sue! I love wild blueberries and yogurt so these pops will be on the menu shortly at our house! Thanks for sharing. Happy Friday!
You are the popsicle queen and these are just plain gorgeous! Bring on the fresh blueberries!
How 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,
Is a great contribution the nutrition labeling you added! Excellent thought, Sue.
Thanks Alexandra, and let us know how the raspberry version goes, I’m sure it will be great.
You have some really cool popsicles treats here, Sue. This one with almond butter must taste particularly delicious.
If you don’t have popsicle molds, would the consistency work to serve as ice cream/sherbet?
I’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!
What a fun and delicious combination of flavors. I LOVE all your popsicles, they are each so unique, beautiful, fun and delicious looking! This purple is gorgeous!!
Thanks Chris, that color gets me too ๐
