A simple and refreshing frozen fruit pops recipe perfect for summer, using fresh or frozen fruit, juice, and optional natural sweeteners and yogurt for creaminess.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups (450g) fresh or frozen fruit (strawberries, mango, blueberries, peaches, or mixed berries)
  • 1 cup (240ml) fruit juice (orange juice or apple juice)
  • 12 tablespoons honey or agave syrup (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon or lime juice
  • ½ cup (120ml) plain Greek yogurt (optional)
  • A few sprigs fresh mint leaves (optional, finely chopped)

Instructions

  1. Prepare your fruit: Wash fresh fruit thoroughly. Peel and chop larger fruits like peaches or mangoes into 1-inch chunks. Frozen fruit can be used directly. (5 minutes)
  2. Blend the ingredients: Add fruit, fruit juice, lemon or lime juice, and honey/agave (if using) into a blender. Pulse until mostly smooth with tiny bits for texture. Add Greek yogurt for creamier pops if desired. (3-4 minutes)
  3. Taste and adjust: Taste the mixture and add more honey or juice if too tart, or more juice if too thick. (1 minute)
  4. Add fresh mint (optional): Stir in finely chopped fresh mint leaves. (1 minute)
  5. Fill the molds: Pour mixture evenly into popsicle molds, leaving a small gap at the top. Insert sticks. (5 minutes)
  6. Freeze: Place molds in the freezer for at least 4-6 hours or overnight until fully set.
  7. Unmold and serve: Run warm water over the outside of molds for a few seconds and gently pull out the popsicles. Serve immediately or keep frozen. (2 minutes)

Notes

For creamier pops, add Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt for dairy-free. Use coconut water instead of juice for a lighter flavor. Adjust sweetness with honey or agave as needed. To prevent icy texture, blend to keep some fruit chunks and add yogurt or mashed banana. Freeze at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. Run warm water on molds to unmold easily.
