These popsicles are made with only fruit and a little bit of water, so they are the perfect healthy snack for the kids or fun treat for any get together you have! There is just something fun about a dessert with so many different colors, people will be very impressed and love that there is no guilt, since they are eating just fruit!

What You’ll Need

  • Strawberries
  • Peaches
  • Pineapple
  • Kiwi
  • Blueberries
  • Mixed Berries

You will also need a Popsicle Mold, Popsicle Sticks, and a Blender to make these rainbow popsicles.

You can use frozen, fresh, or even canned fruit, but I find that frozen works the best. If you have fresh fruit on hand, you can chop it up and place it in the freezer for about an hour before starting.

Recipe Substitutions

  • Feel free to swap out different fruits for the different colors. If you like banana instead of pineapple, you can definitely use them. Or oranges instead of peaches. What you use is up to you, this is just a guide to help you get started!
  • If you want your popsicles sweeter, add in a little bit of honey with the fruit when you blend it. You are adding water to make it smooth enough to pour into the molds, so adding honey to sweeten makes perfect sense.

How To Make Rainbow Popsicles

  • Blend. In a blender puree the fruit, a little bit of water, and honey if using until smooth.
  • Pour. Fill the mold with about 2 teaspoons of your fruit mixture. You can do more fruit, and less colors as well.
  • Freeze. I like to freeze between each layer, so that you can see more of a definition of the colors. They tend to run together a little if you don’t. It is just personal preference. I let them set up for about 20 minutes, before moving on to the next layer.
  • Repeat. Repeat this process until you have all the colors and fruits you are using. And let the popsicles set up in the freezer until they are completely solid; 6-8 hours.

Tips For Making Rainbow Popsicles

  • Use a spoon to fill the molds. I have found that spooning the fruit mixture in is easier than trying to pour it in. You can control the amount and it makes less of a mess.
  • If you want clear lines and definition in the colors, make sure to freeze between filling the layers. But if you aren’t picky, you can fill them all at once, they will still look fun and pretty, the colors will just bleed together a little more.
  • If your fruit is not blending smooth enough, add more water.
  • To remove popsicles from the mold, run them under warm water for about 30 seconds. This should loosen enough you can remove easily.
