Equipment

Ingredients

2 cups strawberries (trimmed; fresh or thawed frozen)
2 cups plain whole-milk Greek yogurt (Greek preferred, but regular works too)
1-2 tablespoons maple syrup (optional but recommended)

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Add the berries to a blender and blend very smooth.
Stir in the yogurt and maple syrup. I use a thin blender spatula to make this easy, but a long spoon works, too. (The mixture stays thicker when you stir the yogurt in, rather than blend it in. This makes it most similar to the texture of a store bought yogurt pouch or tube.)
Add mixture to reusable or disposable yogurt pouches or tubes. Store in the refrigerator or freezer until ready to serve.

Notes

Store prepared pouches in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 6 months. From the freezer, you can either serve them frozen as popsicles (if you use a yogurt tube sleeve) or let thaw to normal yogurt tube consistency.
Use mango, banana, or blueberry in place of the strawberry to vary the flavor.
Use a small funnel to help make filling the yogurt tubes easier.
Sweeten to taste. The amount of maple syrup you need will depend on the sweetness of your fruit and the preferences of your family.
Greek yogurt makes for the thickest texture that is most similar to store-bought pouches. You can use regular yogurt too, though it may be a little runnier. (Both thicken slightly as they sit in the fridge though.)
