These easy breakfast yogurt popsicles are a fun, refreshing way to start the day — especially when I’m craving something cool, creamy, and quick. Packed with protein-rich yogurt, sweet fruit, and crunchy granola, they taste like a frozen parfait on a stick. I love how they turn simple ingredients into a healthy grab-and-go breakfast or snack.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love how these popsicles combine nutritious ingredients with a treat-like feel. They’re cold and satisfying like ice cream, but made with wholesome yogurt and fruit. I can prep them in just a few minutes, freeze overnight, and enjoy a week’s worth of breakfast in one batch. They’re especially great on warm mornings, and kids (and grown-ups) love them too.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
Honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
Fresh or frozen fruit (like berries, bananas, or mango)
Granola
Milk (to thin the yogurt if needed)
Vanilla extract (optional)

Directions

I mix the yogurt with a little honey or maple syrup and vanilla extract if I want added flavor.
I stir in a splash of milk to thin the yogurt slightly so it’s easier to pour into molds.
I layer yogurt and fruit into popsicle molds — sometimes I swirl them together for a marbled effect.
I sprinkle granola into each mold, either in the center or at the base so it becomes the “crust.”
I insert sticks and freeze the popsicles for at least 4–6 hours, or overnight until fully solid.
To release them, I run the mold under warm water for a few seconds and gently pull them out.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes 6–8 popsicles, depending on the mold size. It takes about 10 minutes to prepare and at least 4 hours to freeze, though I usually let them freeze overnight for best results.

Variations

Sometimes I blend the yogurt and fruit together for a smoother, uniform popsicle. I’ve also used coconut or almond milk yogurt for a dairy-free version. When I want extra crunch, I mix the granola right into the yogurt. I switch up the fruit seasonally — strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, pineapple, or even a spoonful of fruit preserves all work beautifully.

storage/reheating

Once frozen, I keep the popsicles in the mold or transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container. I separate them with parchment paper to keep them from sticking. They stay fresh in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. I don’t reheat these — I just let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes if they’re too firm to bite into right away.

FAQs

Can I use non-Greek yogurt?

Yes, I’ve used regular yogurt too. Greek yogurt makes them thicker and creamier, but both work. I just strain thinner yogurt slightly or freeze a bit longer.

What type of granola works best?

I like using chunky granola with nuts and seeds — it adds great texture. I avoid granolas with lots of sugar so the popsicles stay balanced.

Can I make these popsicles without a mold?

Yes, I’ve used paper cups with popsicle sticks or silicone muffin liners. I just peel them away once frozen.

How do I keep the granola crunchy?

I add granola just before freezing and avoid using too much liquid. It stays crunchy enough, especially if I place it near the base.

Are these popsicles filling enough for breakfast?

Yes, especially if I use Greek yogurt and a hearty granola. They’re light but satisfying, and I sometimes pair one with a boiled egg or a smoothie if I want more.

Conclusion

These easy breakfast yogurt popsicles are one of my favorite make-ahead morning treats. They’re cold, creamy, and full of real ingredients that I feel good about. Whether I’m rushing out the door or enjoying a slow morning, they make breakfast fun, nourishing, and just a little bit sweet.
