These bright, refreshing homemade popsicles are made with fresh fruit, plant-based milk, and a touch of sugar for balanced sweetness.

Popsicles that are bright pink and covered in crushed ice

Why I love these homemade popsicles:

  • Made with fresh fruit — a delicious, hydrating way to enjoy real produce.
  • Naturally vegan and gluten-free, suitable for many dietary preferences.
  • Simple to prepare year-round, and especially refreshing on warm summer days.

If you’d like more ideas, try the Mango Popsicles or Blueberry Popsicles for other fruity variations.

Ingredient Notes

Labeled ingredients including: pineapple, sugar, plant-based milk, watermelon

Watermelon: This recipe shines with ripe, in-season watermelon. Choose a melon that smells sweet and yields slightly to pressure for the best flavor.

Pineapple: Fresh or frozen pineapple both work. If using fresh, pick fruit that is fragrant and ripe for maximum sweetness.

Plant-Based Milk: Almond milk was used here, but you can substitute any plant milk you prefer — oat, soy, cashew, etc.

Sugar: A small amount rounds out the natural fruit sugars. Organic cane sugar is a fine choice, or use your preferred sweetener.

Step by Step Process

This recipe is quick and straightforward.

Gather the ingredients, then combine them in a blender until fully smooth. Pour the blended mixture into a popsicle mold, insert sticks, and freeze until solid — about 3–4 hours depending on your freezer.

Storage

These popsicles store well. Keep them in the original mold with the top covered for up to three months.

If you need to free the mold, wrap each popsicle individually in plastic wrap or parchment and store in a freezer-safe bag for up to three months.
