When the summer sun is blazing, and hydration feels like a task, popsicles come to the rescue—both fun and refreshing! These homemade fruity popsicles are a great way to sneak in real fruits for kids (and adults!) in the most delicious way. I’ve made these using watermelon juice as the base, and dropped in some sliced kiwi and strawberry for that Instagram-worthy look and natural sweetness. It takes less than 5 minutes to prep, and the joy it brings is worth the freezer wait!
Let’s freeze them!
Ingredients & Their Roles
| Ingredient | Role in the dish |
|---|---|
| Strawberry | Brings a gentle sweetness and a burst of red color. It pairs well with watermelon and adds to the fruity layers. |
| Watermelon | Acts as the hydrating and naturally sweet base for the popsicles. It blends easily into a juicy mix without needing extra water or sugar. |
| Kiwi | Adds a slight tang and a beautiful green contrast inside the popsicle. It gives texture and a fun visual appeal when frozen. |
How the recipe works
- Watermelon – 8 cubes: When blended, this will yield around ¾ to 1 cup of juice, which is perfect as the base liquid for a small batch of popsicles.
- Kiwi – 4 slices: Works well if you’re placing 1 slice per mold (or half-slice if using smaller molds).
- Strawberry – 4 slices: Same as above—adds color, flavor, and visual appeal when dropped into the mold.
