Made with real fruit, these icy treats are a real crowd pleaser! The combination of strawberries, blueberries and lemon make these fruit popsicles healthy and delicious. 
I don’t know what it is, but when I hear the ice cream truck coming, I still feel excited and frantic, like I need to hurry up and rush out the door so I don’t miss it! I haven’t gotten anything from an ice cream truck in years, but I used to LOVE the ice cream truck when I was a kid. I loved all the brightly colored, artificially flavored popsicles the most. Thinking back, I don’t think I ever actually bought ice cream from the ice cream truck, just popsicles. There was something so irresistible about all the fun color and flavor combinations. My kiddos are no different. They have a popsicle obsession after having some at their grandma’s house, so I knew I needed to come up with a recipe that I felt good about giving them on a daily basis.
The recipe is simple, using whole ingredients. For the red and blue layers, I combined fruit with a little juice. For the white layer, I used lemonade and lemon yogurt. Much better than the pure sugar store bought alternatives (although there is nothing wrong with having those every once in awhile 🙂 ) The result is a delectable treat the whole family will love. I hope you enjoy!
Lemon Berry Popsicles
- Prep Time: 10 mins
- Cook Time: 3 hours
- Total Time: 3 hours 10 mins
- Yield: 8-10 1x
Ingredients
- 1 cup strawberries
- 1/4 cup 100% apple or white grape juice
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 2 T sugar
- 1 cup water
- 6 oz container lemon yogurt
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1/4 cup 100% apple or white grape juice
Instructions
- Start out by blending strawberries and 1/4 cup juice in blender or food processor. Pour some in each popsicle mold until it is 1/3 of the way full. Freeze for an hour or two, until semi solid or solid. Then make the lemon layer by mixing lemon juice, water, sugar, and yogurt in a bowl. Pour some in each popsicle mold until it is 2/3 of the way full. Freeze for another hour or two, until semi solid or solid. Then blend blueberries and 1/4 cup juice in a blender or food processor. Pour some in each popsicle mold until it is almost full. Freeze for an hour or two, until solid. Enjoy!
Notes
*Don’t forget to add the popsicle sticks when you add the lemon layer. They are not easy to get in after the layer is frozen! (not that I did that or anything)
*You may have some leftovers depending on the size and amount of popsicle molds you have. Use the leftovers in a smoothie or drink it as is. 🙂
