Instructions

Wash and Slice Strawberries: Rinse the fresh strawberries under cold water and remove the hulls. Slice the strawberries into smaller pieces for easier blending.
Measure the Ingredients: Measure out the Greek yogurt, rolled oats, honey or maple syrup, milk, and vanilla extract (if using).
Combine Ingredients: In a blender, combine the sliced strawberries, Greek yogurt, rolled oats, honey or maple syrup, milk, and vanilla extract (if using).
Blend Until Smooth: Blend the ingredients on high speed until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency. If the mixture is too thick, add a little more milk to reach your desired consistency.
Taste and Adjust: Taste the blended mixture and adjust the sweetness by adding more honey or maple syrup, if needed. A squeeze of lemon juice can also enhance the flavor.
Pour into Popsicle Molds: Carefully pour the blended mixture into popsicle molds, leaving a little space at the top for expansion during freezing.
Insert Popsicle Sticks: Insert popsicle sticks into the center of each mold.
Freeze: Place the popsicle molds in the freezer and freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until the popsicles are completely solid.
Unmold Popsicles: To unmold the popsicles, run the molds under warm water for a few seconds to loosen the popsicles. Gently pull on the popsicle sticks to release the popsicles from the molds.
Serve: Serve the Strawberry Breakfast Popsicles immediately and enjoy!

Notes

You can use any type of yogurt and milk, including dairy-free options, to suit dietary preferences.
Adjust the sweetness according to your taste by varying the amount of honey or maple syrup.
The rolled oats add a nice texture and help make the popsicles more filling.
If you don’t have popsicle molds, you can use small paper cups with wooden sticks as a substitute.
Adding a squeeze of lemon juice brightens the flavor but is optional.
For a creamier texture, use Greek yogurt; for a lighter version, opt for regular yogurt.
