Ingredients
Raspberry Layer
- 2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries (thawed)
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons raw honey or pure maple syrup (divided)
Yogurt Layer
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon raw honey or pure maple syrup (remaining)
Toppings
- 1/2 cup granola
Equipment
- Popsicle molds
- Popsicle sticks
Instructions
- Prepare Raspberry Mixture: Mash the thawed raspberries in a bowl using a fork until slightly chunky. Add half of the honey and all the chia seeds to the raspberries, then stir to combine well. Let this mixture sit for a few minutes to allow the chia seeds to swell and thicken the mixture.
- Make Yogurt Base: In a separate bowl, whisk together the plain Greek yogurt with the remaining honey and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined, creating a sweetened creamy yogurt layer.
- Assemble Popsicles: Pour an equal amount of the raspberry chia mixture into each popsicle mold, then spoon in the vanilla yogurt over the raspberry layer. Sprinkle a small amount of granola on top of the yogurt for added crunch.
- Freeze Popsicles: Insert popsicle sticks into each mold and place the molds in the freezer. Freeze the popsicles until completely solid, typically about 4–6 hours or overnight for best results.
Notes
- For best texture, use fresh or fully thawed frozen raspberries.
- You can substitute honey with pure maple syrup for a vegan option.
- Use coconut yogurt to make these popsicles dairy-free and vegan-friendly.
- Granola can be substituted with chopped nuts or omitted if you prefer a softer texture.
- Ensure popsicle molds are filled evenly for uniform freezing and serving.
