Thanks for joining Sarah and me for Meatless Monday today. If you are a regular reader around here, and I hope you are, you may have heard I am not so thrilled with the scorching temps we’ve been having. Those hot temps have me craving cool and light foods. Today, I am sharing my healthy & easy all fruit summer popsicles. These refreshing snacks are made with all fruit and nothing else.
Healthy & Easy All Fruit Summer Popsicles
The heat has had me looking for easy ways to cool off and hydrate after my summer runs and workouts. I was surprised, after perusing the grocery freezer section, that there are very few 100% fruit popsicles. Many labels said they were “all fruit” but then had added sugar or even worse (in my opinion) sugar alcohols. All I really wanted was some sweet and refreshing all fruit summer popsicles. So I decided to blend up my own and it was way easier than I expected.
Watermelon, lime and cherry popsicles
First up, I have been all over the watermelon this summer. It’s so juicy and sweet and very hydrating. The perfect base for popsicles don’t you think? So simple I cannot believe I have never made these before. I puréed 2 cups of fresh seedless watermelon, added in fresh lime juice and some fresh cherries. So delicious and refreshing. I used frozen pitted cherries as a time saver.
Strawberry, Pineapple and Mango popsicles
Next up, I have been thoroughly enjoying all the sweet and juicy strawberries and pineapple lately so I knew I wanted to combine them into a refreshing treat. I added a little frozen mango and they became a fabulous post workout rehydration option.
Both of these all fruit summer popsicles were whipped up in 5 minutes. I placed them into the popsicle molds and 4 hours later they are ready to enjoy. No sugar, no sugar alcohols or dairy. Vegan and gluten free. Everyone can enjoy these and they should don’t you think?

Looks so refreshing! I was just thinking you could put milk (any kind) in them to make them dreamsicles… would it work?

Sure I don’t see why not! I have done yogurt before as well.

These look so good! I am definitely going to try the watermelon ones. Strawberries aren’t in season at the moment – they are a winter fruit here – but will save that idea too.
