Pineapple Mango Popsicles
These pineapple mango popsicles transport you straight to the tropics!
Optional extras for this flavor include: 2 Tbsp of shredded coconut or coconut milk instead of coconut water!
Kiwi Popsicle
I love the simplicity of a kiwi popsicle! Fruity and fun, they’re a great way to use up kiwis when you accidentally buy too many.
Optional extras that go well with kiwi are: adding some strawberries for a classic strawberry kiwi combo, or orange juice instead of coconut water!
Blueberry Popsicle
Blueberry popsicles (or really any berry) feel like the most quintessential summer popsicle flavor. We’re mixing it with yogurt to give it a creamy flavor, almost like blueberry cheesecake!
Optional extras that are fun to throw into this flavor include: 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1 tsp of fresh lemon zest, or blueberry instead of vanilla for even more blueberry flavor!
How to make creamy popsicles
When it comes to creamy popsicles that are also healthy, there are a few popsicle foundations that I always come back to! Whichever you choose, Greek yogurt or coconut milk, you’ll want to sweeten it some (with honey, agave, maple syrup etc), then mix it with your favorite popsicle flavors.
- Whole milk Greek yogurt is great for making homemade popsicles. It has a lower water content than regular yogurt, meaning less water crystals to make your popsicles icy (plus it’s high protein)!
- Full-fat coconut milk from a can is another great basis for making healthy creamy popsicles. The results in a soft, melt-in-your-mouth texture (though it’s higher in fat than Greek yogurt).
How to make hidden veggie popsicles
And the category for “popsicle flavors you didn’t know you needed” goes to…hidden veggie! As a rule of thumb, most things that make a good smoothie also make a great popsicle! Case in point: green smoothie popsicles!
Spinach has a neutral flavor that blends seamlessly into most mixtures, so try adding a handful to your next batch of pops to start off your veggie-filled popsicle journey. Feeling adventurous? You can also try adding avocado, shredded carrots, roasted sweet potato, or roasted beet! (Each of these veggies is featured in a recipe in For the Love of Popsicles!)
