Promise me you won’t think I’m weird, or like a big food dummy, but honestly? I never even heard of that strawberry pretzel salad thing until like a year or two ago. I do not know how I made it through (ahem) thirty-mumble-mumble years without this ever crossing my radar. Especially considering food is my life. For reals. Like, sometimes I feel like it’s all I think about.
And, when I first started seeing it on Pinterest and stuff I thought it sounded kinda gross. I mean, sweet cream cheese and strawberries, yes. But pretzels? Not so sure.
So I’m fiddling around with this idea to do a strawberry yogurt popsicles thing, and I knew it needed a little something for crunch. At first I was thinking shortbread cookies (which would probably also be pretty rockin’), but then I spotted the pretzels in my cupboard and decided to just go for it!
I’m so glad I did, because, dude. I should never have doubted strawberry pretzel salad. Strawberry pretzel salad was right all along.
If you like pretzels + ice cream, you will love this sweet/salty/creamy frozen treat. It’s just so refreshing, and those little crunchy bits make it so satisfying!
You can literally whip these up in 10 minutes flat. Mix some honey and vanilla extract into your Greek yogurt, chop up some fresh strawberries and toss them in a little jam, and crunch up some hard pretzels. Layer it into your popsicle molds and freeze! It’s just that simple, y’all.
I also really love how these ice pops aren’t drippy. Dontcha just hate giving your kids a pop, only to find their hands sticky and their clothing stained from all the drips?? Because the yogurt is so thick, it softens as it warms up, but doesn’t drip! Brilliant!
I hope you enjoy this fun summertime treat!

These look amazing! I love pretzels 😀
Same here, Chloe! Thank you 😀
I have never heard of this flavor combination but it sounds AWESOME! Can’t wat to try it!
Thanks Meriem! I remember it was all over Pinterest like a year or so ago and I was like huh? Well it makes a pretty tasty popsicle that’s for sure!
I had never heard of it before until I saw it on Pinterest recently too! Love that you made a popsicle version! I am a sucker for sweet and salty especially with some crunch and these sound perfect 🙂
Oh good I’m so glad it wasn’t just me, lol! Maybe it’s a relatively new thing then. I sure loved the sweet and salty!
I love the crunchy bites amidst the creamy pops!! You are a genius. And I see nothing weird here. Sweet and salty is the best combo!!
You are right, Zainab I don’t know what I was thinking, lol! Glad I’m all straightened out now 😉
Adding pretzels is such a creative idea. It gives is so much texture!
Thanks Mallory! And you’re right- texture and a little bit of salty contrast too. Thanks for the sweet comment!
I love this combo of strawberries and pretzels in a popsicle! It sounds like such great sweet / salty / creamy combo! So perfect for summer!
Thanks Cate! My kids and I really enjoyed these 😉
Nope, you’re not alone. I didn’t know about pretzels and ice-cream until I did the same as you, spotted the bag in my cupboard, threw it my bowl of ice-cream and thought, wow I’ve stumbled across something amazing!! Looked on Pinterest and realized that duh, it was not a new thing at all. LOL
Anyway, your popsicles look and sound so yummy. 🙂
you are a genius!!! love these!!!
Ha ha you are too sweet Alice! Thank you though…
These are amazing!! Love the flavors and the texture, perfect!
What can I say, Matt, I’ve learned from the best 😉 Thanks for the inspiration!
haha you’re not alone … I had never heard of it until I started food blogging!
And seriously – I need to make some of these. Sweet and salty?? With strawberries and pretzels? Has my name written all over it!
Lol ok good! I was beginning to think I must have been living under a rock or something. Thanks for the great comment, Ashley!
Dang Allie! These are like the most gorgeous popsicles ever and I LOVE the play on the strawberry pretzel salad! Sweet, salty, perfection! Pinned!
Thanks so much Trish! <3
Allie, I TOTALLY didn’t know about that strawberry pretzel salad until recently (though now I really like it :)! I love that you used it as in inspiration for these gorgeous pops. I can’t wait to make popsicles at home someday!
Oh good I’m glad I’m not the only one that somehow missed that one, lol! Hope it warms up soon for you so I can drool over the fabulous popsicle creations you’ll no doubt be posting!
I have to agree! The pretzel thing never floated my boat either … I thought they would get all soggy 🙂 They look anything but soggy in these popsicles! The sweet and salty, cold and creamy, and pretty darn healthy too! You got it all (plus stunning presentation) Amazing job Allie!
Thank you so much, Mary Frances! I guess if you used the thinner pretzels they might get soggy like you said, but I had those really hard ones you could almost break your tooth on, lol! They held up pretty well. So glad you enjoyed, sweetie!
I could totally go for this right now for breakfast. It’s so hot today here! Plus added pretzels in just sounds all too wonderful! (I need to get one of those popsicle molds too!)
I got it at the dollar store, lol! And ps I totally ate them for breakfast 😉 Thanks Connie!
Those popsicles look so yummy! Thanks for sharing the recipe and for the opportunity to make some!
Thank you, Nicole-Lynn, for reading my blog and for the sweet comment! I hope you enjoy 😀
Oh these are seriously so smart. And the flavor looks so incredible! I am in love with the texture!
Thanks Jocelyn! I was surprised by how much I liked the pretzels in there 😉
Hi, You mentioned 1 Tablespoon layer of the yogurt layer but how much of the other 2 layers? Also, if I were to measure out the pretzels in a measuring cup, how much?
Hey Michele! You know, this is the kind of recipe you really can’t mess up. Just layer the ingredients in however you like. The quantities are all listed on the recipe card, just layer them into the molds until you’ve used everything all up. I used 4 hard pretzels, chopped. It was probably about a half a cup but you could use as much or as little as you like. I hope that helps!
