All you need is some fresh fruit and you can enjoy healthy homemade popsicles whenever the fruity, icy cravings hit! These fruit popsicles require just two ingredients, a blender, and popsicle molds for a quick and delicious treat!
During the warmer summer months, I love eating fresh and fruity dishes like this pineapple Dole whip copycat, healthy lemon bars, and homemade strawberry yogurt!
A few weekends ago, I took my kids for a walk and we were passing by neighbour’s house where kids were happily sucking onto bright green and red popsicles. The day was hot and popsicles definitely were hitting a spot. Immediately my mind started racing and it hit me – why don’t I make the same bright and sweet ice pops with fruit?! I don’t know why but I never thought of that, no idea why?! Why oh why LOL.
I’ve already shared recipes for vegan vanilla ice cream, chocolate ice cream, and coconut mango ice cream – now it’s time for fruity popsicles!
After we got home, I quickly went through my fruit platter and freezer. Got a few mint leaves from my herb planter. Whipped up 3 batches of cantaloupe, melon and strawberry fruit puree. Froze it in popsicle molds and voila.
By 6 PM my kids were enjoying the same colorful but healthy homemade popsicles. Yours can too! And for your adults, why not also try these recipes for healthy iced coffee and a frappucino!
Plus, you can make a similar fro-yo style treat by combining the blended fruits with a little yogurt!
How to Make Healthy Homemade Popsicles
- In a powerful blender, blend all ingredients until very smooth.
- Pour into 6 popsicle molds and freeze for 3 – 4 hours.
- To remove popsicle from the mold, hold it under hot running water for a few seconds (plastic needs more time than stainless steel to come off).

Banana, orange, pineapple combo!
Yum!
A lot of mint. Do you use mint in all the flavors? I’m not a mint person.
Don’t add it then.
