Some of the best summer snacks are the ones that are almost too easy to feel real.
These yogurt cup fruit ice pops are exactly that.
No fancy molds.
No blender.
No complicated prep.
Just yogurt cups, fresh fruit, popsicle sticks, and a freezer.
The first time we made these, it honestly started as one of those “let’s keep the kids busy for 10 minutes” ideas… and somehow turned into one of the easiest summer snacks we now make on repeat.
My boys love picking their own fruit combinations and building their own pops. And I love that it takes basically no effort while still feeling fun, colorful, and homemade.
These are perfect for:
- hot summer afternoons
- after-school snacks
- pool days
- quick healthy desserts
- toddler snacks
- backyard hangs
- easy kitchen activities with kids
And the best part?
You probably already have everything you need sitting in your fridge right now.

Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Open the yogurt cups, leaving the yogurt inside the original containers.
- Dice fruit into very small pieces if needed. Sprinkle fruit directly on top of the yogurt and gently press it in slightly.
- Place a popsicle stick into the center of each yogurt cup.
- Freeze for 3–4 hours or until completely solid.
- To eat, peel or cut away the yogurt container, flip upside down, and enjoy.
Notes
Greek yogurt makes these extra creamy and higher protein.
Let sit at room temperature for 1–2 minutes before peeling for easier removal.
Great activity for kids to make themselves.
