Refreshing and naturally sweet no-sugar popsicles made with fresh fruits, herbs, and wholesome ingredients. Perfect for a guilt-free summer treat that everyone can enjoy.

Ingredients

  • Ripe mango chunks
  • Mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
  • Kiwi
  • Watermelon
  • Fresh lime juice
  • Fresh lemon juice
  • Fresh orange juice
  • Fresh mint leaves
  • Fresh basil leaves
  • Coconut water
  • Sparkling water
  • Unsweetened almond milk
  • Ripe avocado
  • Plain Greek yogurt (unsweetened)
  • Vanilla extract
  • Sea salt
  • Cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Prepare your ingredients by washing and chopping fruits as needed. Scoop avocado or measure yogurt for creamy pops. Squeeze fresh citrus juices and rinse herbs, then pat dry.
  2. Add fruit, citrus juice, herbs, and liquid base to your blender or food processor. Blend until smooth or pulse for chunkier texture.
  3. Taste the mixture and adjust flavor by adding more coconut water or almond milk if too tart.
  4. For layered popsicles, pour one flavor at a time into molds, freezing briefly between layers to avoid mixing.
  5. Pour the mixture into popsicle molds, leaving a small gap at the top for expansion.
  6. Insert sticks into molds and freeze for 4-6 hours or overnight until solid.
  7. To remove popsicles, run warm water briefly on the outside of the mold and gently pull on sticks.

Notes

Use frozen fruit if fresh is not available for better texture. Freeze each layer for about 30 minutes when making layered popsicles. Add a teaspoon of lemon juice to creamy popsicles to prevent browning. Rinse molds with warm water before removing popsicles to avoid breakage. Smaller molds freeze faster. Avoid overfilling molds to prevent overflow during freezing.
