Gina’s Recipe Rundown:
Texture: Smoothie popsicles have a creamy, icy texture that’s smoother than a traditional ice pop but firmer than soft-serve.
Taste: Smoothie popsicles taste like a frozen burst of your favorite smoothie—refreshingly fruity, slightly tangy, and naturally sweet from ingredients like ripe bananas, berries, or a splash of honey.
Ease: Smoothie popsicles are incredibly easy to make! Just blend your favorite smoothie ingredients—like fruit, yogurt, and a natural sweetener if desired—pour the mixture into popsicle molds, and freeze.
Why I love it: They’re the perfect mix of healthy and delicious—refreshing like a popsicle, but packed with the goodness of a smoothie. I love that they’re naturally sweet, full of real fruit, and often made with creamy yogurt, which gives them that dreamy texture.
Imagine biting into a refreshing frozen treat bursting with the natural sweetness of strawberries and bananas. It’s one of those healthy recipes that really hits the spot when it’s warm outside. Yum!

Common Questions About Smoothie Popsicles
Can I Use Different Fruits for Smoothie Popsicles?
Absolutely! One of the best parts about making smoothie popsicles is that you can use your favorite fruits. Whether you love blueberries, mangoes, or pineapple, they all make great additions.
You can even mix and match different kinds of fruits to create your own unique flavors. It’s a great way to use up any leftover smoothies or fresh fruit you have on hand.
Can I Make Smoothie Popsicles Without Added Sugar?
Yes, you can! If you want to keep your popsicles free of added sugar, simply skip the honey in this recipe. The natural sweetness from the fruits, especially the strawberries and banana, will still make your popsicles taste delicious. You can also use natural sweeteners like maple syrup or agave if you prefer.
Storage
I love having some fruit popsicles on hand in the freezer. The homemade popsicles are always my favorite.
Refrigerator
While smoothie popsicles are best enjoyed frozen, you can store the smoothie mixture in the refrigerator if you have some left over. Keep it in an airtight container and use it to make more popsicles or drink it as a refreshing smoothie later.
Freezer
Smoothie popsicles should be stored in the freezer. Once they are completely frozen, you can transfer them from the molds to a freezer-safe bag or an airtight container. They will stay fresh and delicious for up to two months, making them a great option for a healthy snack anytime.
