{This post is sponsored by Blue Diamond Almond Breeze Almondmilk! I’ve used their Almondmilk Coconutmilk Blend to create these simple and DELICIOUS breakfast pops. They are such a fun and easy way to make sure you have a healthy breakfast even while on the go!}
Fun, fun, FUN things to chat about today!
First and most obvious are these Coconut Almond Breakfast Pops! How fun and cute are they? I mean, ice pops for breakfast? Well, OK! Who can argue with that? Asher pretty much flipped over these and she didn’t even know that they were supposed to be breakfast pops! She just loved the creamy texture, fruity flavors and the crunch from that granola. In her long, slow and exaggerated words, “soooo gooood”.
SO, I’m really excited to share with you that Almond Breeze is the official sponsor of the USA Volleyball Team. I’ve teamed up with them to bring you these healthy breakfast pops that will help you and your family “Serve Up Your Best” all summer long… Ok and then even into the school year, because how amazing would these be for a quick back to school breakfast when you’re running late (Mom). Or maybe even better as an easy after school snack. Totally stocking up on these before school starts so Asher can come over after school and actually have something healthy…as opposed to like, cookie dough…oops.
When I was thinking up a recipe that would be healthy and energizing for these athletes, I immediately thought of something with protein, fruits and healthy carbs. Seeing as most of us are almost always on the go, I figured it would be fun to turn some ice pops into a healthy and complete morning breakfast!
Fun? yes!
Pretty? yes!
Delicious? Yes, yes, YES! 🙂
Don’t you just love all my enthusiasm? Hehe! It’s summer, it’s got me wrapped up in a ball of energy… ok and all those berries just make me smile.
Here’s the deal, these pops are beyond easy. Possibly one of my easiest recipes of the summer! You just need four ingredients: plain Greek yogurt, Almondmilk Coconutmilk Blend, fresh berries or chopped stone fruits, maple syrup or honey and granola. Simple as that!
To get a super creamy ice pop, I prefer using full fat plain Greek yogurt. You can also use fat-free or two percent, but you’ll get an icier pop as opposed to a nice creamy popsicle by using the full fat. For my berries, I used: strawberries, blueberries, and fresh cherries. Please use what ever combo of fruit you love. Pretty much any fruit will work, all berries, all stone fruits (chop them if they are big), pineapple, banana, mango… oh and chopped melon (cantaloupe, watermelon, etc) would be delish too! Lastly, for the granola, I gave you guys a super quick homemade granola recipe that I highly recommend trying, but if time is short, store-bought granola works great! Just make sure it’s not loaded with sugars.
And that’s it! I really like using the Almondmilk Coconutmilk Blend, it adds such a yummy, creamy coconut flavor, which you all know I LOVE. But really, you can use any other Almond Breeze flavors as well. The Hint of Honey, Vanilla flavor would be especially delish! 🙂
OKok! So for the final fun part of this post… I know, I know, so many fun things today!
It’s giveaway time! Over the past year I’ve partnered with Almond Breeze to bring you not only this post, but several others. Therefore, it’s that time of year again for a little reader survey!

Coconut Almond Breakfast Popsicles.
Servings: 10 POPSICLES
Calories Per Serving: 110 kcal
Nutritional information is only an estimate. The accuracy of the nutritional information for any recipe on this site is not guaranteed.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup Almond Breeze Almondmilk Coconutmilk Original Unsweetened
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey + more for drizzling
- 1 1/2 cups fresh berries, if using strawberries, slice thin
- 1 cup homemade or store-bought granola
Instructions
- In a medium size bowl, mix together the yogurt, Almondmilk Coconutmilk, and maple syrup until combined.
- In another bowl, add the fresh berries and gently mash them to release some of their juice, but don't mash them into a sauce.
- To assemble, layer the granola, yogurt and berries evenly among 10 popsicles molds. It is OK if the layers are not perfect, it makes for a very pretty popsicle. Cover the tops of the mold and freeze until firm, about 4 hours. To remove the popsicles run the mold under hot water for 10 seconds and then pull the popsicles out of the molds. Store in the freezer. Drizzle with honey if desired.
And now?!?! I think I need a popsicle. Yup. let’s do it!

I took the survey. I cannot wait to try these! They look beautiful, as all your recipes do!
Thanks!! Hope you love the pops!!
I took the survey. Thanks!
Went out and got popsicle molds to make these! I used 2% yogurt (it was that or 0%!) and instead of maple syrup/honey, I added about a tablespoon of sugar to my berries (strawberries and blackberries) to macerate/make them juicy. I also used quite a bit less granola, but next time I’d use a tiny bit more (probably a half cup or so) and maybe a little maple in the yogurt. Or not…I’m not sure yet…maybe I need another to decide 😉
Anyway – verdict? Really yummy. I am not normally a yogurt person (texture turns me off), so this was a fun way to get some in for my morning routine. Super easy to make. I agree with your note – full fat would be creamier, but honestly the 2% was delish too. Will definitely play with this again – thanks for the recipe and idea!!
This looks delicious! But I have a question! I am allergic to almond and coconut, could this be substituted with raw cows milk? Thanks!
Did the survey. It was super quick. Love your blog!
Ah, thank you! Good luck?
OMG. Popsicles for breakfast!? I need to do this every single day now! They look so amazing.

That was a super quick survey! Honestly, it might have taken me a minute at most.
Haha as for these popsicles, I’ve tried yogurt popsicles before but I used nonfat Greek yogurt. Thanks for the tip about using full fat to make them creamy. I’m also intrigued by the hint of flavor the almond coconut milk will bring to the pops. I’m going to give these a try! Frozen treats are like all I want to eat this summer so why not make them healthy, right? 😉
Thank you for taking it!!
The full fat really does the trick right?! I hope you love them!! Frozen and healthy!! (:
What a genius idea to make breakfast popsicles! I looove ice cream so to be able to eat it for breakfast is my idea of heaven!
Haha! Yes!! Exactly what I was thinking!! Thank you!
These look absolutely amazing perfect post run snack! I have been loving the combo of blackberries, green grapes, and cherries in my yoghurt lately, definitely going to try that with these! Oh and your blog rocks!
