How To: Make Homemade Whole Fruit Popsicles
These whole fruit popsicles are as easy as 1-2-3!
As a kid, we’d fill up our popsicle molds with sodas and other sugary juice from the fridge. While these fruit popsicles require an extra step or two, it is SO worth it and healthier by-far.
Prepare the fruit by chopping it up into small, bite-sized pieces. The fruit should easily fit in the popsicle molds without being smushed,
Pack the molds with your mixed fruit until they are about 80% full. Fill in any large gaps with blueberries or other small pieces of fruit.
Pour apple juice, water, or your juice of choice into each mold. Make sure to leave about a half of an inch at the top to prevent spilling.
If your mold requires popsicle sticks, insert them now. Be sure not to push in the sticks too far so they are easy to hold onto.
Freeze until solid, at least 2-3 hours. If the popsicles won’t budge when you’re ready to eat them, place the mold in a warm water bath for 15-30 minutes until they can wiggle free. Be careful not to pull the sticks out!
Enjoy your popsicles right away or store them in the freezer until you’re ready to eat them.

Homemade Whole Fruit Popsicles
Ingredients
- 2 kiwis sliced
- 1 cup canteloupe chopped small
- 1 cup strawberries halved or quartered
- 1 cup blueberries
- 2 cups organic fruit juice or water
Instructions
- Chop the fruit into small, bite-sized pieces that will easily fit in your popsicle mold.
- Fill the wells with fruit pieces, alternating as you go. Add as much fruit as you can into each well, using blueberries and small pieces of cantaloupe to fill in any gaps.
- Finish with apple juice or water but be careful not to overfill. Leave about ¼ of an inch at the top. If your mold requires popsicle sticks, insert them now with at least an inch sticking up from the top.
- Freeze for 2-3 hours or until solid. To carefully remove the popsicles, place the entire mold in warm water for 15-30 minutes. Enjoy right away or store in the freezer for up to 3 months.
