Yogurt Choices: Use any flavored yogurt such as strawberry, peach, or pineapple, as long as it’s sugar-free and low-fat. I used plain yogurt, but feel free to choose your favorite.
Fruit Options: Any fruit works well in this recipe. Berries, grapes, kiwi, peach, and tropical fruits like mango or pineapple are all excellent choices.
Additional Flavors: Add a bit of vanilla extract or extra Splenda to the yogurt for added flavor.
Tips and Tricks for Making Yogurt and Fruit Ice Pops

Avoid Oxidizing Fruits: Drizzle fruits like bananas, pears, or apples with lime juice to prevent browning.
Mold Alternatives: If you don’t have silicone molds, use small cups. Semi-conical shapes work particularly well.
Settling the Yogurt: Tap the mold on the counter after pouring the yogurt to eliminate air pockets.
