Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 6 ounces reduced-fat plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup coconut water
  • 1/3 cup honey

Fruit and Citrus

  • 1 medium ripe avocado, peeled and cubed
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon grated lime zest
  • 1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Place the Greek yogurt, coconut water, honey, cubed avocado, fresh lime juice, lime zest, lemon zest, and lemon juice into a blender.
  2. Blend Smooth: Puree all ingredients on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, ensuring even flavor and texture throughout.
  3. Pour into Molds: Carefully pour the blended mixture into popsicle molds or paper cups. If using paper cups, cover each with foil and insert a popsicle stick through the foil to secure it.
  4. Freeze Popsicles: Place the molds or cups in the freezer and allow them to freeze until fully firm, which typically takes around 4-6 hours or overnight for best results.
  5. Unmold and Serve: To serve, remove the popsicles from the freezer and let them stand at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly, making them easier to unmold before enjoying.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free version, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt.
  • If honey is not desired, agave syrup or maple syrup can be used as alternative sweeteners.
  • Ensure the avocado is ripe for the creamiest texture; overripe avocado may affect the flavor.
  • Adjust the amount of lime and lemon juice to taste depending on desired tartness.
  • Allow popsicles to soften slightly before unmolding to prevent cracking or breaking.
  • Use BPA-free molds for safer freezing and serving.
