The weather is heating up (good golly, miss molly) and it is officially ice cream and popsicle season!! Skip the ice cream stands and save your money because today on SKL we have 20 Healthy Popsicle Recipes for Kids and Adults! These are absolutely amazing (and easy!) recipes for you and your little ones.

What you need to make our amazing Healthy Popsicle Recipes:

1.Silicone or Stainless Steel Popsicle Molds (You can also use ice cube trays!)

2. High-Speed Blender or….: Most of the recipes just need a blender, but some have a carrot or beet juice. If you do not have a high-speed blender (Think Vitamix or Blendtec ) to blend some of these items into juice, then you can opt to steam the veggies first before blending OR use a juicer. I repeat, a good quality high-speed blender can turn FULL veggies into a juice (I’m still shocked about it!)

3. Clear space in your freezer: Popsicle molds need to stand up straight

4. Extra Popsicle Sticks (if needed – I love to just save popsicle sticks through the year from random stops at gelato shops, etc)

5. Plenty of fruits, veggies, nut/seed butter, superfoods and more to play around with!

The Molds

The Silicone Mold

About the Silicone molds: These molds are made from food-grade silicone, BPA free, super easy to clean and dishwasher safe. If they ever break (which I do not see happening for quite a long time), you can easily slice these up and use them all around the kitchen for random things (I love to use them as heat protectors). Boil these in a large pot of water for a good 10 minutes before using.

Tips: To get the popsicles out without any hassle, simply run under water for about 10-20 seconds. They slide right out after! These popsicles are quite large so the boys will have half and then we will simply put them back into the mold. You can also make these half the size by just filling halfway and then pushing the popsicle stick all the way down 🙂

The Stainless Steel Mold

Aren’t these beautiful!? I have to say, the stainless steel molds are just stunning. The stainless steel molds have more parts than the silicone molds and require a bit of organization on your part.

The stainless steel molds are made of BPA free 304 food grade stainless steel. These popsicles freeze much quicker than the silicone molds and the rack for the popsicles are MUCH more stable than the silicone molds.

Tips: Just like with the silicone mold, simply run some warm water over the mold to pop out the popsicles 🙂

Healthy Popsicle Ingredients

The main reason that I went overboard with recipes is that I want to really make one thing clear: ANYTHING goes in popsicles. If you can make it into a smoothie or juice, you can make it into a popsicle.

Each Healthy Popsicle Recipe can be adjusted to your personal needs such as:

Allergies:

If you are allergic to any ingredient listed, simply swap out! Do not fear the unknown here, it is so fun to learn new things in the kitchen.

Sweetener:

We generally stick to bananas, Medjool dates, maple syrup or berries for the added sweetness in our popsicles. You can mix this up with whatever sweetener you prefer as well.

Butters:

If your children are having friends over and you are worried about nut allergies, go ahead and stick with sunflower or even coconut butter. You may need to add more sweetener additions to the mix but just taste test and adjust as needed.

Added Fats:

I love to add extra fats to any of these popsicle creations. You can sub out 1/2 of the plant milk for canned coconut milk, you can toss in some avocado, or even soaked and rinsed cashew nuts.

Supplements / Powders / Superfoods:

Do not be afraid to add your favorite daily superfoods to these popsicles. I love to add spirulina, chia seeds, hemp seeds, moringa, and more to my popsicle creations! If you are making these for children, just be sure to know exactly what you are putting into their popsicles. I do not give the boys moringa, but I do give them a small portion of spirulina. Chia seeds, hemp seeds, flax seeds and more are always added to their mixes.
