Do you know what’s better than snow cones on a hot day? Or hot chocolate on a cold day? Homemade popsicles! These healthy popsicles are loaded with goodness, so good you might even let the kids have one for breakfast!

Three different Frozen homemade popsicles with sticks on a white counter with frozen fruit around.

Evenings in my house are filled with talking, laughter, winding down, and popsicles. Yep… popsicles.

After running around all week, going from school to home, to the grocery store, then work, back home, time to pick up the kids, head to after school activities… it’s go, go, go during the week – sometimes we all deserve a treat in the evenings.

My healthy homemade popsicles are the perfect sweet ending to the super busy day while you’re sitting on the couch with your family.

I totally hear what you’re asking right now: What makes these healthy? Popsicles aren’t usually healthy, so how are these ones healthy?? And how do you avoid a huge sugar buzz right before bed with the kids???

You sure have a lot of questions there! Lol! Have no fear – I’ve got this!

You probably know my family loves smoothies. I’ve shared our top smoothie recipes including my green smoothie and our make ahead smoothie packs  right here on the blog.

These healthy homemade popsicles are basically our favorite smoothies (fruit, juice, and yogurt – all the ingredients for a smoothie) whipped up and frozen on a stick.

So simple right? I know! Sometimes I amaze myself. 🙂

How to make healthy fruit popsicles

Simply combine fruit juice, your favorite fruit, and yogurt. Blend in a blender and pop in the freezer and you have not only a delicious snack. You have a healthy one too.

How long does it take to freeze homemade popsicles?

Once you’ve combined all your ingredients and poured them into the popsicle mold, these popsicles should be ready in about 4 hours in your freezer. Easy peasy, am I right?!

Where can you buy popsicle molds?

You can find popsicle molds in almost any home or grocery store, especially during the summer months. Or if you love shopping on Amazon.com here are a few of my favorite molds there:

  • 10-Cavity Silicone Popsicle Mold with sticks & bags
  • Ozera Silicone 6-cavity popsicle mold
  • & these Dinosaur Popsicle Molds are too cute for words!!!

Yellow and white popsicles that are homemade using pineapple and cream.

Best way to get them out of the popsicle molds?

When you’re ready to eat them, can run under warm water for about 20 seconds and slowly wiggle out. Don’t leave under water for too long or the popsicle will melt.

What fruits can I use in my popsicles?

Any fruits you want! Pineapple and berries are some of my favorite, they’re so sweet with a bit of tart to them.

How long will they stay good in the freezer?

I like to whip up several batches because these babies will stay good to go in the freezer for about 6 to 8 months.

Here’s a few of my favorite popsicle recipes below. Once you’ve picked your fruit, just mix in a blender with juice or yogurt. You can use water to reduce sugar content of the juice if you’d like as well.

    Where can I find honey greek yogurt? Or is it honey greek yogurt when you add the honey to the yogurt?
    I’m a little confused b/c the recipe is written as though honey greek yogurt is a thing — and if it is, I haven’t seen it (yet)!
    Thanks!

      It’s my favorite greek yogurt flavor, however if you can’t find that flavor it’s totally okay!! Just use a nice vanilla or plain greek yogurt.

    We love your recipes and my adult kids and I get together and make freezer meals for all our households as a family. My son and I have make up to 40 meals in on day. Everytime we do it, we get faster …
    We love being able to grab a meal out of the freezer. Thanks for all your sharing and helping us eat better, have less stress, and do things as a family!
