A quick and easy homemade summer treat made with fresh or frozen fruit and juice, perfect for cooling down on hot days with a natural, guilt-free sweetness.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen mixed fruit (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, peaches, mango, or kiwi)
  • 2 cups fruit juice (orange juice, apple juice, white grape juice, or lemonade)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon or lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • Fresh herbs like mint or basil leaves (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash and chop any large fruit like peaches or mango into small chunks, about ½ inch pieces. Quarter large strawberries if needed.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of chosen fruit juice with 2 cups of prepared fruit. Add 1 teaspoon fresh lemon or lime juice and 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup if using. Stir gently to combine.
  3. Spoon the fruit and juice mixture into popsicle molds, leaving a little space at the top for expansion. Add a small fresh herb leaf in each mold if desired.
  4. Insert popsicle sticks into the molds. If molds don’t have built-in stick holders, cover with foil and poke sticks through to hold upright.
  5. Freeze until solid, at least 6 hours or overnight.
  6. To unmold, run warm water over the outside of the molds for 10-20 seconds and gently pull on the sticks.

Notes

For creamier pops, blend fruit and juice before freezing. Do not overfill molds to avoid cracking. Freeze pops for at least 6 hours for best texture. Use ripe fruit for best flavor. Can substitute coconut water or almond milk for juice for variations. Store popsicles in airtight container or wrapped individually for up to two weeks.
