The days are warming up, which is definitely a welcome weather change! But as the days get warmer, sometimes the best way to beat the heat is with a cool, refreshing popsicle. I love my recipe for Blueberry Coconut Yogurt Popsicles because they are packed with antioxidant-rich blueberries, probiotic-packed yogurt, and nourishing coconut! I also love that this recipe contains a naturally derived sweetener, maple syrup.
Skip the frozen food section of your local food store and make your own simply delicious, creamy, and beautiful pops! They are sure to please young and old alike. All you need is a few simple ingredients and a popsicle mold, let’s get to making these yummy treats…
Blueberry Coconut Yogurt Popsicles
Makes 5 servings
The Players
- 1 and 1/4 cups organic coconut milk (where to buy coconut milk)
- 3/4 cup plain raw yogurt
- 3 tablespoons of organic maple syrup (where to buy maple syrup)
- 2 tablespoons organic shredded coconut (where to by shredded coconut)
- 1/3 cup organic blueberries
The How-To
1. In a 4-cup glass measuring cup with a spout, mix together the coconut milk, yogurt, maple syrup, and the shredded coconut until well combined.
2. Pour the mixture into popsicle molds (these stainless steel ones are on my wishlist) until about 1/2 inch from the top. Gently place blueberries on the top of the mixture, and push down into the popsicles so there are blueberries throughout the pop. Fill the popsicles the rest of the way with remaining mixture.
3. Freeze overnight or for at least 5 hours – enjoy this nourishing treat as the weather gets warmer!

This is an absolutely beautiful blueberry popsicle recipe; we are going to use it Wednesday for a treat for our dieting group. We have been adding blueberries in our dieting plan and it causes great weight loss. The Popsicles look “cool”

Katie, can you tell me the proportions if using 1 can of coconut milk?
Looks yummy!
Hello Beth!
This recipe is very forgiving – if you add more coconut mlik, just throw in a little extra of everything. This recipe is easy to taste too, just dip a spoon in and see if the flavors are to your liking and adjust from there.
Hope this helps!

I too would love to have stainless steel molds, but meanwhile don’t event have regular plastic ones. My baby asked me for ice cream – and so I used my bpa free ice cube tray and put half of a wooden ice cream stick there. Temporarily solution to please the baby!
Homemade ice scream.
