The beauty of this colorful fruit popsicle recipe is how you can make them with whatever fruit and juice combination you want. These refreshing summer ice pops are prepped in under 10 minutes then put into the freezer to solidify. Quick, easy, and healthy!

To us, summer’s best feature is the rainbow of seasonal fruits it brings to the table. We love whipping up fruit salad, fruit pizza, and even fruit dip to complement a platter of nature’s sweet treat whenever we have a get-together to attend. These fruit popsicles are fun to serve at backyard parties and BBQs and are a great way to cool off after a day in the sun.

FRUIT – Fresh raspberries, strawberries, pineapple, melon, kiwi, blueberries, and blackberries are all great choices. You can truly use whatever fruit combo you’d like with this recipe, or do what we did and throw them all in together! You may also use frozen fruit.

JUICE – You’ll want to stick with a clear juice like white grapefruit, apple, white grape, and even lemonade so you can see your colorful bounty of fruit through the frozen juice. However, a darker juice works good as well like cranberry or grape. You could also use a clear soda, coconut water, or sparkling water if you prefer.

You can easily make these homemade popsicles with a small disposable cup and popsicle stick using the same method as you would with a mold. To help your popsicle stick stand in the middle of your popsicle, use plastic wrap or tinfoil over the top of the cup and cut a small slit in the middle where you can insert the stick.

We like to stick to a clear juice when making fresh fruit popsicles. White cranberry, white grapefruit, white grape, lemonade, and apple juice work well, but you could also use a clear soda if you’d like. More great options are pink lemonade, cranberry juice, pineapple juice, and orange juice. To keep sugar count low, use a clear sugar free juice or opt for coconut water or sparkling water.
