Kool-Aid Yogurt Pops
These Kool-Aid Yogurt Pops are a modern spin on a classic summer treat from your childhood.
You may not have been raised on Kool-Aid but I was. Surprisingly I still graduated college and I turned out alright. While I don’t typically stock my refrigerator with the sweet nectar of my childhood I’m okay with my boys getting a glass or two over at Grandma’s and Grandpa’s. I imagine that to my kids it is something like when I went to my grandparents and was always welcomed with a lukewarm glass of Tang with water straight from the faucet. Gasp!
Please tell me there are other closet Kool-Aid drinkers out there? This is a safe place where we can talk. I know you serve your children milk and 100% apple juice now but we remember well the exotic flavors of Incrediberry, Strawberry Falls Punch, and Purplesaurus Rex (my personal throwback favorite). Oh Yeah!
My dad still LOVES Kool-Aid. Orange is his all-time favorite but Grape is a close contender. Growing up it was always my dad’s job to make the Kool-Aid. I remember the first time I used my emergent reading and math skills to make the concoction myself. Apparently, my dad had been holding out on the sugar because Holy-Mother-of-Kool-Aid-Man that was a SWEET drink! Or maybe my math and/or measuring skills were a tad off. Minor details. I was always sure to leave just enough in the bottom of the pitcher after that incident so that I was not responsible for refilling that plastic pitcher ever again. Too much pressure.

I was recently given the opportunity to review the ZOKU Quick Pop Maker. It is some serious fun- let me tell you! If you aren’t familiar with the Quick Pop Maker I can’t wait to introduce you. You freeze the compact unit (we keep ours in the freezer just so it’s ready any time we get the urge) and then you add juice, yogurt, pureed fruit, ice cream, etc. and SEVEN minutes later you have totally customized popsicles! None of this waiting overnight business.
I’m so excited to be able to give one of you one of these nifty little gadgets! You’ll also receive the Mini Pop Mold. It is a traditional popsicle mold in that it takes about 4-6 hours in your freezer however the design is anything but traditional. Aren’t these tiny bulbs just adorable? These pops are perfect for little hands. They literally pop right out- no warm water or sticking to the silicone mold. My toddler giggles every time he pulls one from the base!
Do you remember carefully filling an ice cube tray with Kool-Aid, wrapping it up with cling wrap, and sticking a toothpick inside? I smile even now thinking of eating those tiny sweet pops on those flimsy toothpicks on hot summer days. Please tell me you did this as a child! I thought it would be fun to update the Kool-Aid Pops of my childhood and give them a little more substance. My favorite way to sneak in some good protein and other nutrients is Greek yogurt so this was the outcome. Use any flavors you want; I used plain Chobani Greek yogurt but feel free to omit the Kool-Aid and use any flavor of yogurt your family loves.
My toddler LOVES popsicles. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he eats one almost every day. It is his dessert of choice even over cookies, cakes, and all kinds of candy. His love of popsicles is fierce! This works out pretty well considering his peanut allergy and that most popsicles are a safe choice wherever we go. They’re also easy to make at home which is why I was really excited to try these ZOKU popsicle makers. I hope you love these as much as we do!

The yogurt pops look great. I’m always looking for healthy tasty snacks to give the grandkids.
Thank you for the great idea! My daughter loves to freeze yogurt and this will allow her the additional flavors, I cant wait to make these with her. Love your site!!
These look so fun!!
Love the shape of these molds. They look like a lot of fun to eat!
We always drank kool aid as kids and I still drink it at 25! Never was it ever made with full sugar. If one of my siblings had to make it we would try full sugar sometimes but then we never liked drinking it!also I love freeze pops as much as your son! So this is the perfect giveaway for me.
My girls love making ice pops. This would be perfect. All these pictures look wonderful!!
Adorable! Just love the mini! What a perfect size for those little mouths and hands!
These are so stinking cute! I love the size of the pops & how the mold works! My little ones would love this!
I used to drink Kool- aid ALL the time when I was a kid. What an awesome way to use it beside a drink, I will have to try this.
These pops remind me of the pudding pops my Mom used to make. YUM!
Thanks so much for the reminder – can’t wait to make some for my kids, these too, they look too yummy not to.
Is it wrong to totally want this for me, rather than my girls? They are just so darn cute. The little ones look like ring pops.
Ooooh how absolutely cute are these .would love to.win this 🙂
The pop look delicious. I love the pop molds you used!
The first thing that caught my attention was the shape of these pops. The recipe will be fun to make for the kids and the potential to win a giveaway is always fun!
Oh my gosh! My kids would go crazy for this!
Man I haven’t had kool-aid in so long! This post is sort of nostalgic!

Great idea. I would love to win
My kids would love this!
would love this!!
My kid would LOVE this!!!
Saw zoku on I want that…I want that 🙂
OH MAN I was such a Kool-Aid hound! I still love it! I remember when I was a kid (90’s-00’s) they came out with a weird one…the powder was one color, the drink another, and the flavor didn’t match the color. So like, grape (my favorite) was actually a red liquid. And thanks to one of those weird mental things, I swear it didn’t taste like grape!
Anyway, I’ve never thought of adding Kool-Aid to yogurt…I’m totally sold and must try this immediately.
Now I NEED a ZOKU!
My kids would LOVE these!!! Can’t wait to try this!
Normally I am not a fan of Kool Aid but those actually look really good.
My kids would love this!
Looks yummy to me!!
Looks delicious!
I am an outright kool aid lover! The only thing that bugs me about it are the red mustaches. ;). That being said I don’t often have it in the house. However yummo Popsicles might change that!
I’ve been wanting one for so long! and the mini pops are too cute!
These popsicles look wonderful! Will definitely be giving these a try.
Love that mini mold so cute. My girls would eat that up

So cute! Thanks for the giveaway!
Oh my goodness, I can’t wait to make these with my daughter and share with my friends and family! Thank you so much for sharing…I have to admit that my mouth starts to water just looking at them…yum!
Hope I win…the kid in me loves popsicles too!

My husband loves Kool-aid. We always have a pitcher of it in our fridge. My friends kids love my house, because we have the “blue drink”.
I have been wanting a Zoku for a long time. I bought one for my nieces but resisted getting myself one.
My little ones will have to wrestle their mom for these yummy treats!
This would be wonderful to make with my 2 grandsons!
