Make refreshing, healthy fruit popsicles at home using fresh fruit. This guide provides recipes for strawberry, mango, and mixed berry flavors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled
  • 1 cup ripe mango chunks
  • 1 cup mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
  • 1/2 cup water (or coconut water) per flavor base
  • 1-2 tablespoons sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or sugar), optional, per flavor base

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Strawberry Base: Place strawberries and 1/2 cup water into a blender. Blend until completely smooth. Taste and add sweetener if desired, then blend again briefly.
  2. Prepare the Mango Base: Place mango chunks and 1/2 cup water into a clean blender. Blend until smooth. Add sweetener if needed and blend.
  3. Prepare the Mixed Berry Base: Place mixed berries and 1/2 cup water into a clean blender. Blend until smooth. Add sweetener if needed and blend.
  4. Pour Bases: Carefully pour each fruit mixture into separate popsicle molds, leaving a small space at the top for expansion.
  5. Insert Sticks: Place the lids or insert popsicle sticks into the center of each mold.
  6. Freeze: Place the molds in the freezer for at least 4 to 6 hours, or until completely solid.
  7. Unmold: To release the popsicles, briefly run the outside of the mold under warm water for about 10-15 seconds. Pull the stick gently to remove the frozen treat.

Notes

  • For a creamier texture, replace half the water in any base with plain Greek yogurt or coconut milk.
  • If you do not have popsicle molds, you can pour the mixture into small paper cups and insert wooden sticks once the mixture starts to freeze (about 1 hour in).
  • Adjust the amount of added liquid to control the final firmness; less liquid results in a firmer, more intense flavor.
