Ingredients You Actually Know (and Can Pronounce)
To make these keto yogurt popsicles, you only need a short grocery list. Here’s what to grab:
Core Ingredients:
-
2 cups full-fat plain Greek yogurt (no added sugar, about 5% milk fat)
-
ÂĽ cup powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener (granulated ones can leave a gritty crunch)
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
½ cup sugar-free mini chocolate chips (Lily’s, ChocZero, or whatever brand you like)
Optional Add-ins (worth trying):
-
A pinch of sea salt – sharpens flavors
-
1 tablespoon cocoa powder – adds chocolate swirl vibes
-
1 tablespoon peanut butter – creamy + salty contrast
-
¼ teaspoon peppermint extract – mint chocolate chip without the carbs
Tip: Go full-fat. Non-fat yogurt is sad, watery, and not your friend on keto.
Tools You’ll Need
-
One big mixing bowl
-
Spoon or whisk
-
Popsicle molds (silicone works best)
-
Popsicle sticks
-
Freezer with space — don’t laugh, we’ve all had that one drawer that’s jammed with frozen peas and regret
Step-by-Step: Keto Pops for Hot Days and Hanger Moods
1) Stir It Up
Start by whisking the Greek yogurt in a bowl until it’s smooth. Add your powdered sweetener and vanilla. Stir until it looks like creamy fluff.
2) Flavor It (Optional but Fun)
Mix in any extras here — cocoa powder, peanut butter, mint, whatever you’re into.
3) Chocolate Time
Fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips. Try not to eat half the bag. Spread them out so each pop gets enough.
4) Fill the Molds
Spoon the mixture evenly into your popsicle molds. Leave a tiny gap at the top so they can expand without getting stuck.
5) Freeze
Add the sticks and put them in the freezer for at least 4–5 hours. Overnight is better if you’ve got the patience.
6) Unmold Like a Pro
To get them out clean, run warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds, then gently pull the stick.
How They Fit Your Macros
Let’s talk numbers. These keto frozen yogurt pops won’t send your blood sugar into orbit.

Flavors to Flip Your Routine
Eating the same version every week? Try switching it up with these ideas:
-
Mocha Fudge: Add instant espresso + cocoa powder
-
Berry Crunch: Swirl in mashed raspberries or chopped strawberries
-
Coconut Cream: Mix in shredded coconut + almond extract
-
Birthday Cake: Add almond extract + keto sprinkles
You don’t have to get fancy. You just need to mix what you love.
Make It Kid-Friendly (Or Don’t Tell Them)
If your kids eat them all, just know they’re getting calcium and protein without sugar crashes. These pops work for adults and kids — just adjust the sweetener level if you’re not doing strict keto.
Want to sneak in a veggie? Try adding a little avocado or spinach. Sounds weird, but blended smooth, no one knows. The chocolate covers it up.
Storage Tips So They Don’t Turn Into Ice Bricks
Once frozen, take the pops out of the mold and put them in a zip-top freezer bag. That way, you can reuse the molds and the pops don’t stick together.
They’ll last up to 2 weeks. After that, the texture starts to change a bit, but they’re still good if you’re not picky.

After-Dinner Treat: You’re dying for dessert but don’t want to cook — grab one.
