The BEST Healthy Homemade Popsicles

The BEST Healthy Homemade Popsicles – A round-up of some of the BEST healthy popsicle recipes! Each one in naturally-sweetened, gluten-free, and dairy free.

Summer is here and it’s time for all the popsicles!

Homemade popsicles are a summer staple at our house. I love that they’re a healthy option, made from fruit (and sometimes veggies, too!), and don’t have any added refined sugars or dyes. They’re a snack I feel good about eating any time of day! (And we’ve literally eaten them ANY time of day.)

That’s the beauty of a good homemade popsicle recipe–the ingredient list is so great you could eat them for breakfast just as easily as afternoon snack. To get you started, I’m sharing some of our favorite healthy popsicle recipes today. Here are some of our favorites…

1. Strawberry Watermelon Popsicles

3 ingredients, 100% fruit, and our family favorite. These are a great way to use up leftover watermelon (or a watermelon that wasn’t as good as you thought it’d be). My kids love helping with these and we almost always go back for seconds!

2. Lava Flow Popsicles

These might just win the award for prettiest. With a creamy coconut-pineapple layer swirled with fresh strawberry, these lava flow popsicles taste like an island vacation! (Plus, they look fancy, but they’re SO EASY!)

3. Dole Whip Popsicles

Inspired by one of our favorite Disneyland treats, these healthy Dole Whip Popsicles taste like a bite of summer sunshine! The ingredient list is short & sweet and the flavor is perfectly satisfying. You’ll love them!

4. Healthy Chocolate Peanut Butter Popsicles

Creamy, chocolatey, peanut buttery goodness! These healthy chocolate peanut butter popsicles have delicious, rich chocolate peanut butter flavor and are made from healthy ingredients. You can serve them plain, or try one of our yummy topping combinations to make them something extra-special. (My favorite is peanut butter + crushed peanuts. My kids’ favorite is chocolate shell + mini chocolate chips)

5. Strawberry Orange Sunrise Popsicles

This flavor was a fan favorite this year, and I totally get it! These healthy strawberry orange popsicles taste like a mocktail you’d sip by the pool or beach. We LOVE their fresh flavor and bright color.

6. Mango Passion Fruit Popsicles

These passion fruit popsicles taste like a tropical vacation! With only 3 ingredients, these homemade popsicles couldn’t be easier to put together, and the creamy, sweet fruit gives them unbelievably fresh flavor. SO GOOD on a hot day!

8. Healthy Chocolate Covered Bananas

If you’re looking for a frozen treat that *doesn’t* involve a popsicle mold, these tasty chocolate dipped bananas are a great way to go! They’re a brilliant way to use ripe bananas, and the toppings make them SO much fun! keep things simple with a dip and drizzle of our vegan magic chocolate shell, or choose from our giant list of toppings to try. (Sprinkles are always a hit with my kids, while Michael and I LOVE the pistachio!)

9. Virgin Blackberry Mojito Popsicles

Blackberries are Milo’s favorite, so last year we pulled these healthy blackberry popsicles together. Plenty of fresh berry flavor, a little lime, and the tiniest hint of mint. My kids generally HATE mint, but gobble these right up. (PS – not into blackberries? You can totally make these with strawberries or raspberries instead.)

10. Strawberry Balsamic Popsicles

Don’t panic! These do NOT taste like balsamic vinegar or salad dressing. Pinky promise. Instead, the *tiny* drop of balsamic brings out all that fresh strawberry flavor in the most amazing way. My kids love these, adults love these, you’ll love these.

11. Healthy Raspberry Sorbet Popsicles

These gorgeous homemade raspberry popsicles have the MOST delicious, intense fresh raspberry flavor. The popsicles themselves have just 2 (100% fruit!) ingredients, and the optional chocolate shell only has another 2 ingredients. They’re paleo, vegan, and allergy friendly, but taste like a scoop of the best raspberry sorbet you’ve ever tasted.

12. Strawberry Lemonade Popsicles

These taste like a glass of delicious strawberry lemonade (or those yummy strawberry lemonade ices you can buy sometimes!). My kids love the sweet-tart flavor and happy color.

13. Mango Lime Popsicles

Even if your kids aren’t into green foods, they’ll likely go for these mango lime popsicles! (Limes = green, right?). Just a few ingredients and these are bound to be a favorite!

14. Raspberry Peach Popsicles

Another delicious swirled popsicle, this one has layers of creamy peach and refreshing raspberry. So easy, so delicious. (And did I mention pretty? Because WOW!)

15. Healthy Homemade Fudgecicles

A creamy chocolate popsicle was always one of my favorites growing up. These healthy homemade popsicles don’t use any added sweetener, yet somehow they taste a WHOLE lot like chocolate ice cream. Count me in!

16. Lime in the Coconut Popsicles

Okay, so the name *might* get that song stuck in your head, but you won’t even mind when you’re eating these coconut lime popsicles. Creamy, dreamy, delicious! (And there are only 3 ingredients!)

17. Superfood Very Berry Popsicles

Sneaky sneaky! These berry popsicles are also hiding a few secret doses of super foods! We love how bright and fresh they taste. Yum!SaveSave
