Ingredients
Instructions
- Add the milk to the yogurt, then blend in the drink mix.
- Stir to dissolve the mixture.

Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider using full-fat yogurt. You can adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of drink mix or using a natural sweetener like honey. If you want a healthier option, try using a sugar-free drink mix. For a fun twist, blend in some fresh fruit or pureed fruit before freezing. This recipe is also a great way to use up leftover yogurt.
Serving Suggestions
These yogurt pops make an excellent refreshing treat on hot days. Serve them alongside a light salad or as a dessert after a meal. They pair beautifully with Mrs. Mckenzie'S Shortbread for a delightful snack. For a fun presentation, serve them in colorful cups with a sprig of mint on top.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover yogurt pops in an airtight container in the freezer. To enjoy them later, simply let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before removing from the molds. Avoid refreezing once they have been thawed, as this can affect the texture.
