Ingredients

Peach Strawberry Yogurt Popsicles

  • 3 cups strawberries (pureed to 1 ½ cup)
  • 3 cups peaches (peeled and sliced, pureed to 1 ½ cup)
  • 2 tablespoons honey (divided)
  • ⅔ cup vanilla Greek yogurt

Minty Watermelon Popsicles

  • 3 cups watermelon slices (divided)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh mint leaves
  • 1 ½ cups coconut water
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey

Blackberry Lemon Popsicles

  • ⅔ cup lemon juice (plus zest from lemons)
  • 2 ½ cups vanilla Greek yogurt
  • 2 ½ cups blackberries
  • 2 ½ cup mixed berry Greek yogurt

Orange Mango Coconut Popsicles

  • 4 cups mango (divided)
  • 2 cups coconut milk (whisked and divided)
  • 3 tablespoons orange juice
  • 3 tablespoons honey

Instructions

  1. Prepare Peach and Strawberry Purees: In a blender, puree strawberries with four teaspoons of honey until smooth, then set aside. Clean the blender thoroughly, and puree sliced peaches with two teaspoons of honey, then set aside.
  2. Layer Peach Strawberry Yogurt Popsicles: In popsicle molds, layer 2 teaspoons of strawberry puree, 1 teaspoon of vanilla Greek yogurt, followed by 2 teaspoons of peach puree. Repeat the layering sequence, finishing with a fruit puree as the last layer.
  3. Create Swirled Pattern: Tap the mold gently on the counter to settle the layers. Use a small spoon to drag vertically inside the mold several times, creating an attractive swirled effect.
  4. Freeze Peach Strawberry Popsicles: Gently tap molds again to remove air bubbles. Insert popsicle sticks securely and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until fully set.
  5. Prepare Minty Watermelon Mix: Blend 2 ½ cups of diced watermelon pieces, fresh mint leaves, coconut water, lime juice, and honey until smooth. Cut the remaining ½ cup watermelon into ¼-inch cubes.
  6. Assemble Minty Watermelon Popsicles: Divide watermelon cubes evenly into popsicle molds, pressing them to the bottom. Stir the blended watermelon mixture and pour evenly over the cubes.
  7. Freeze Minty Watermelon Popsicles: Insert popsicle sticks, securing them with tape if necessary. Freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  8. Mix Blackberry Lemon Base: Whisk lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla Greek yogurt in a medium bowl. Separately, puree blackberries with mixed berry Greek yogurt until smooth.
  9. Layer Blackberry Lemon Popsicles: Alternate layers of 1 tablespoon lemon yogurt mixture and 1 tablespoon blackberry puree in popsicle molds. Optionally swirl the layers for a marbled effect.
  10. Freeze Blackberry Lemon Popsicles: Tap molds to remove air bubbles, insert popsicle sticks, and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  11. Prepare Orange Mango Coconut Mixture: Blend 3 cups mango slices with 1 ½ cups whisked coconut milk, orange juice, and honey until smooth. Cut the remaining 1 cup mango into ¼-inch cubes.
  12. Assemble Orange Mango Coconut Popsicles: Evenly distribute mango cubes into popsicle molds, tapping molds to settle. Pour 3 tablespoons of mango coconut blend over the cubes.
  13. Fill and Freeze Orange Mango Popsicles: Add about 1 tablespoon of coconut milk or enough to fill the mold. Insert the popsicle sticks securely and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight.

Notes

  • For best results, use fresh ripe fruit for natural sweetness and vibrant flavor.
  • Honey can be substituted with agave syrup or maple syrup for a different sweetness profile.
  • Ensure popsicle sticks are firmly placed to avoid shifting during freezing; tape can assist if needed.
  • Allow popsicles to thaw a few minutes at room temperature before removing from molds for easier release.
  • You can customize layers and swirls with your favorite fruit purees or yogurt flavors.
