    • It's a healthier alternative to store bought popsicles that are often loaded with sugar.

    Ingredients You'll Need

    Labeled ingredients for the peach popsicles.
    • Sliced Peaches (fresh or frozen): Naturally sweet and provide a great flavor to these popsicles.
    • Vanilla Greek Yogurt: A creamy and tangy ingredient that adds protein, calcium, and probiotics to these popsicles.
    • Orange Juice: Provides a natural sweetness to the popsicles, and helps balance the tanginess of the Greek yogurt.

    Step-By-Step Instructions

    Steps to make the peach popsicles.

    Step 1: Place the peaches, Greek yogurt and orange juice in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth.

    Step 2: Pour the mixture into popsicle molds, leaving a little bit of space at the top for expansion.

    Step 3: Insert popsicle sticks into the molds.

    Step 4: Freeze the popsicles for at least 4 hours or until completely frozen.

    Step 5: To remove the popsicles from the molds, run them under warm water for a few seconds to loosen the popsicles.

    Expert Tips

    • Ripe peaches are sweeter and have a better texture, which will help ensure that your healthy peach popsicles are delicious and flavorful.
    • Make sure to blend the peaches, Greek yogurt, and orange juice until they are completely smooth and well combined.
    • The amount of time it takes for the popsicles to freeze completely will depend on the size of the molds and the temperature of your freezer. As a general rule, it takes about 4-6 hours for popsicles to freeze completely.

    Variations

    • Mixed Berry: Substitute the sliced peaches with mixed berries, such as strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries, for a tasty and colorful twist. You can also use a berry-flavored Greek yogurt to enhance the berry flavor.
    • Mango & Pineapple: Substitute the sliced peaches with frozen mango and pineapple chunks, and use a plain or vanilla Greek yogurt.
    • Coconut Peach: Add coconut milk to the mixture of sliced peaches, Greek yogurt, and orange juice to create a creamy and tropical flavor. The coconut milk will also make the popsicles even creamier.
    • Chocolate Peach: Melt some dark chocolate and drizzle it on top of the frozen popsicles before serving. You can also add unsweetened cocoa powder to the mixture for a chocolatey flavor throughout.

    Storing

    To prevent freezer burn and to keep the peach popsicles fresh, make sure to store them in airtight containers or resealable plastic bags. While frozen popsicles can last for a few months in the freezer, it's best to consume them within a few weeks for the best flavor.

    Recipe FAQ's

    Can I use canned peaches instead of fresh or frozen ones?

    While fresh or frozen peaches are recommended for the best flavor and texture, you can use canned peaches as a substitute. Just make sure to drain the canned peaches before using them in the recipe.

    Can I use a different type of juice instead of orange juice?

    Yes, you can use any type of juice that you prefer, such as apple juice, pineapple juice, or even coconut water. Just make sure to adjust the sweetness and flavors accordingly.

    Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?

    Greek yogurt is recommended because it has a thicker texture and a tangier flavor, which works well in this recipe. However, you can use regular yogurt as a substitute if that's what you have on hand.

    Can I make these popsicles without a blender?

    While a blender is recommended to ensure that the ingredients are well blended and smooth, you can also mash the sliced peaches with a fork or potato masher and mix all the ingredients together with a whisk or a fork. However, the texture of the popsicles may be slightly different.

        Hi Janie, you could always try coconut milk if you're trying to avoid juice.

      There are so many things I LOVE about this recipe, the colour, the flavour (peaches are my favourite fruit) and the fact that it is a three-ingredient recipe. I love it on this heat and will make this immediately - peaches are in season so, absolutely brilliant recipe.
