Healthy Fudgesicles

August 19, 2021

 These homemade Healthy Fudgesicles made with Greek yogurt, almond milk, cocoa powder, and maple syrup are creamy, delicious, and a protein-packed summer treat. 

Chocolate lovers, rejoice! With all the rich chocolate-y flavors you love and none of the artificial ingredients you don’t, Healthy Fudgesicles are the perfect guilt-free indulgence. It’s the ultimate way to get your chocolate fix in the summertime.

It’s no secret that I am a major dessert fan. From cookies to smoothies, I love them all. So many people think that eating healthy means giving up desserts and I take an enormous amount of pleasure in showing them that that’s not the case at all!

You can eat healthy and still enjoy all the mouthwatering desserts your heart desires, just take it from me. By swapping out store-bought treats for homemade ones, you can make healthy swaps to lighten up your favorite desserts in health-conscious ways.

That’s what I did with these Healthy Fudgesicles. I used to love the ones you could buy at the store, but those are filled with ingredients like high fructose corn syrup and refined sugar, which I definitely did not love. Once I realized I could make my own version from home that had the delicious flavors I loved but without those unnecessary additives, it was a no-brainer!

Whether you’re looking for sweet treats for your chocolate-loving kids or the perfect way to top off a backyard barbecue with friends, these delicious homemade fudgesicles are just what you need.

Key Ingredients and Easy Swaps

Not only is this healthy dessert recipe incredibly delicious, but it only requires four ingredients to make! Wanna know the best part? There’s a good chance you already have them all at home. To make this sweet treat, you will need the following key ingredients:

  • Greek yogurt: You can use any type of plain Greek yogurt you like, but the varieties with fat like low-fat or full fat will yield the creamiest popsicles.
  • Almond milk: I like to use unsweetened almond milk for this recipe, but you can use any kind of milk you prefer.
  • Cocoa powder: This ingredient is what creates the deep, rich, chocolate flavors. You can use cacao powder instead for added nutrition, if desired.
  • Maple syrup: This sweetens up the cocoa powder for a delicious flavor. You can use honey or agave instead if you prefer.
  • Vanilla extract: This is key to enhancing the rest of the flavors in these fudgesicles.
