There’s nothing like a refreshing popsicle on a hot day—but so many store-bought versions are loaded with sugar and artificial flavors. I love making my own healthy popsicles at home, using real fruit, a hint of natural sweetness, and my favorite molds (I’m obsessed with these popsicle molds—they’re super easy to use and clean, plus they pop the popsicles out with no fuss). My kids also love these ring pop ones!
The best part? These recipes are completely free of refined sugar. They’re sweetened naturally with fresh fruit and a touch of honey or maple syrup (if desired), making them a feel-good treat for kids and adults alike.
These homemade popsicles are a fun, family-friendly snack, perfect for little ones and grown-ups alike. Below are four delicious, healthy popsicle recipes to try this summer!
