Healthy Blueberry Raspberry Coconut Popsicles

I know I have been sharing a lot of fall inspiration lately.

But it’s still summer.

Summer and popsicles are the best. Because one doesn’t happen without the other, right? I remember the days of chasing the ice cream truck down our street and handing over my hard-earned babysitting money for my favorite coconut popsicle.

Now that I am a grown-up, I like creating homemade popsicles. What do I want in a homemade popsicle? I like healthy and pure ingredients and lots of fruit, such as Raspberry, Blueberry, and Coconut popsicles. 

Today, I also teamed up with some of my favorite bloggers to share many great homemade popsicle recipes. Be sure to scroll to the bottom of the post to see their unique ideas!

Have you ever made homemade popsicles? They are straightforward to make; if you make them yourself, you can be sure they are made from healthy ingredients. By the way, healthy ingredients make the best popsicles.

I have always wondered how the first popsicle came about, so I researched. As it turns out, in 1905, eleven-year-old Frank Epperson left a cup filled with powdered soda, water, and a stirring stick on his San Francisco porch. Low temperatures caused the mixture to freeze that night, and a summertime staple was born. Today, two billion popsicles are sold every year. With that many popsicles sold, you would think I could find a store-bought popsicle I love. But no luck. 

(I probably need to add that I am unsure if San Francisco ever gets below-freezing temperatures, so this story may not be accurate.)

I was amazed at how many popsicle recipes there are. Some are made with simple syrup and fruit, others with alcohol. I found some with edible flowers and not-so-edible large pieces of fruit.

Ultimately, I made up my recipe with my two favorite fruits: raspberries and blueberries, and my favorite flavor: coconut! Yum.

Making homemade popsicles is pretty straightforward. The first thing you need is a popsicle mold. I did some research and found what I liked on Amazon. It’s the Onyx Stainless Steel Popsicle Mold, and it’s reasonably priced.

Add the lid and sticks after you put the berry mixture into the cups. Freeze for 4 – 6 hours. To remove the popsicles from the holder, run the mold under cold water, but be sure to turn the mold while doing so. (Don’t use hot water. I tried it, and it melts the popsicles, meaning you must freeze them again. Ugh.)

The creamy base for my popsicles is coconut milk and unsweetened coconut yogurt. These are the perfect ingredients for a delicious popsicle. The fruit is all fresh, and I used raspberries and blueberries. Of course, you can use almost any fruit you want. 

To get the “ombre” effect, I added a minimal berry mixture into the cream base and poured one popsicle into the mold. Then I added some more berry mixture and poured another. I did this until all six popsicle molds were full, and each popsicle had more berry mixture than the others. 

I do need to add that I now have a considerable appreciation for photographing foods that melt. Yikes! This was hard. If you only knew how many times I had to refreeze these popsicles to get the right photo!

Awe, the struggles we face.
