Sweetened with vanilla and honey, swirled Blueberry Yogurt Popsicles are the answer to hot summer days.
Even though I know the weather is not going to cool off anytime soon (it will in, like, October), I am seriously savoring every drop of summer. This one has been an extremely busy one, but a really, really good one.
I know it’s been quieter in my corner of the Internet, but, to be fair: I traveled a lot in June, attended an important family wedding, had a 7-week visit from my sister who lives overseas, tackled some awesome freelance projects and made some excellent new friends.
Things seem to be easing up a bit and I’m settling back into a new but more normal routine. I’m so excited for autumn to get here (I see you, scarf weather!) but for now I’m enjoying sunglasses-worthy afternoon breaks in the sun with something cool to snack on.
Lately, it’s been popsicles. It’s been a while since I got out my popsicle mold. Remember these Irish Coffee Popsicles? Or how about these Peaches & Cream Popsicles? Or, my favorite, these Yogurt Parfait Breakfast Popsicles.
Today I bring you Swirled Blueberry Yogurt Popsicles.
To make these babies, take your juiciest farmer’s market blueberries. Blend them with honey. Then, layer the two mixtures in your popsicle mold and swirl them with a creamy mixture of yogurt, honey and milk.
Pop in some popsicle sticks and freeze them. Give them a day and you’ve got a luscious frozen treat worthy of an afternoon break outside.
By the way, one of the cool projects I’ve been working on is making videos of some of my recipes. I won’t do this for every new recipe, but the plan is that you’ll see them here more often. I’m super excited to be partnering with my friend Chris to put these together and help you visualize the process of making my recipes.
Okay! Now may I present my first-ever recipe video for these Swirled Blueberry Yogurt Popsicles.
Awesome, right?! I’m so excited. If you like my videos, it would mean the world to me if you shared them and subscribed to my YouTube channel. Can’t wait to make more! // susannah

I totes want one (or many) of these popsicles right now. These are definitely what we need to stay cool this summer.
Susannah says
Summer is the WORST. I love Popsicles to cool down. Sorry for the delay in my reply!
Carol bassett says
18 grams of sugar I’m keto that’s not good- how can we make this lighter in sugar??
Susannah says
Hey Carol! You can reduce or cut the honey altogether and just rely on the sweetness of the blueberries. You can also sub your favorite keto sweetener. I don’t follow that diet so I’m not sure what would be best to substitute, but let me know if you end up trying it!
