These 7 Healthy, Fruity Popsicles Taste Like Summer, and You Can Make Them at Home

Updated on 7/4/2019 at 11:07 AM

Refreshing popsicles are as much a part of Summer as bathing suits and outdoor barbecues, but they're not exactly healthy — at least not the ones you can pick up from any store or ice cream truck, as tempting as they may be. The good news? With just a few simple ingredients like berries, oranges, yogurt, and coconut milk, you can make your own (much healthier) popsicles in the comfort of your own home. We've rounded up seven fruity recipes made with all-natural ingredients instead of sweeteners. Some even call for ingredients like veggies and chia seeds — but we won't tell if you don't.

Mermaid Popsicles

These creamy, fruity treats are even Paleo-friendly. Coconut, matcha, and blueberry serve as the base of the popsicle, while a sprinkle of dried blueberries adds a pop of color.

Raspberry-Tomato Yogurt Pops

Tomato may not seem like the foundation of a good dessert, but these yogurt pops deliver. They're sweetened with just a touch of coconut nectar and topped with crunchy sliced almonds.

Blueberry Yogurt Popsicles

Antioxidant-rich blueberries are paired with a secret ingredient (almond extract!) for an extra burst of flavor.

Chili Lime and Sea Salt Watermelon Pops

It doesn't get much easier than this! Simply push a popsicle stick into a watermelon wedge and then season to your liking (the spicier the better).

Fruity Chia Seed Coconut Popsicles

These fruit and coconut popsicles may look pretty, but they're pretty good for you, too. Berries are always a healthy choice, and chia seeds are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, and antioxidants.

Strawberry Popsicle With Kale and Squash

If you can hide veggies in smoothies, why not popsicles, too? The veggies in these strawberry-based treats add nutrients, but you'll never even notice they're there.

Mandarin Orange Cream Popsicles

Most fruit popsicles are made with berries, but these citrusy popsicles take things in a totally different direction. They're made with yogurt, oranges, and granola, so you could technically eat one for breakfast.
