Common Questions
1. Can I use frozen strawberries instead of fresh?
Yes! Just thaw them slightly before blending. Frozen berries make the mix even colder, which helps the popsicles set faster.
2. Can I use flavored yogurt?
Absolutely. Vanilla or strawberry yogurt adds extra flavor and sweetness, so adjust honey accordingly.
3. How long do they last in the freezer?
These popsicles will keep well in an airtight container or mold in the freezer for up to 2–3 weeks.
4. Can I make this dairy-free?
Yes! Use coconut or almond milk yogurt to make a vegan and dairy-free version.
