    🍧Steps to Make Fruit Popsicles

    For more detail, visit the complete and printable recipe at the bottom of this post, but here are general steps.

    Step 1: Blend popsicle base
    In a high-speed blender, combine the yogurt, lemon juice, vanilla, frozen riced cauliflower, salt. Blend until smooth and thick, like a pourable smoothie. Add maple syrup if you’d like more sweetness.

    Step 2: Make colors
    Divide mixture in half. Set aside one half for "white", and divide the second half evenly into 5 bowls. Press fruit or add superfood powder to each bowl to create each of the 5 colors. Use a fork to puree the fruit; use spoons to stir making color uniform.

    Step 3: Fill popsicle mold
    Spoon white base into each mold, then add a color, then white, and keep alternating to create a tie-dye effect until the popsicle wells are full and your mixtures are gone.

    Step 4: Freeze the popsicles
    Place popsicle molds in the freezer. After 30 minutes, insert sticks. Freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight until solid.

    Step 5: Unmold and Enjoy!
    To release, run the molds under warm water for a few seconds. Store extra pops in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one month.

    These Popsicles Feature a Natural Blue Color—No Artificial Dye

    Finding a true blue hue in nature isn’t easy, but these popsicles use blue spirulina, a plant-based complete protein high in antioxidants, to create a vibrant aqua tone. It’s an Instagram-worthy superfood that adds both color and nutritional punch. For a budget-friendly swap, blueberries work too—but blue spirulina makes these truly standout in both health and color.

    🧠Pro Tips for Perfect Popsicles

    • No mold? Use 3 oz bathroom cups and cover with foil, poking a straw or stick through the center.
    • No spirulina or matcha? Stick to fruit—these pops still turn out colorful and delicious.
    • Kids' version? Skip the ginger and let them help layer the colors—great sensory activity!
    • More contrast? Keep the white base thick so colors don’t blend.
    • Travel hack: Wrap popsicles in parchment paper and store in a cooler for a few hours.

    FAQS

    What are superfood popsicles made of?

    Superfood popsicles are made with a creamy yogurt base and nutrient-rich ingredients like fresh fruit, chia seeds, and plant-based powders such as spirulina or matcha. These pops get their color naturally—no artificial dyes—making them both beautiful and healthy.

    Can I make fruit popsicles without a mold?

    Yes! You can use small bathroom paper cups as molds and cover them with foil. Insert a straw or popsicle stick through the center of the foil and freeze as usual. Once frozen, simply peel away the cup for an easy homemade alternative.

    Are homemade fruit popsicles healthy?

    Homemade fruit popsicles can be a very healthy option, especially when made with whole foods like dairy-free yogurt, fruit, and natural sweeteners. Unlike store-bought pops, you can skip added sugars and artificial colors, and even boost nutrition with ingredients like chia seeds and superfoods.
