Homemade Strawberry Kiwi Spritzer Popsicle Recipe

April 17, 2015 by Mommy Evolution 30 Comments

Do you love easy homemade popsicles? These cool treats can be made in minutes, without all the additives and preservatives of store bought versions! There is nothing like spending a lazy day by the pool cooling off with a refreshing ice pop.

And Herchel (a favorite fellow blogger) from Gym Craft Laundry is starting off summer the right way by sharing her amazing homemade strawberry kiwi spritzer popsicle recipe with us. So get ready for summer!

Homemade Strawberry Kiwi Sprintzer Popsicle Recipe

We make popsicles together all the time! My kids like to try new flavor combinations. I like to try healthier recipes. It’s a win win! Whether you like sweet and fruity popsicles or creamy fudge pops, homemade versions are easy to make and don’t take much time.

I like to make pretty popsicles that look tastier than grocery store pops. Presentation is half of the experience, especially when it comes to children.

This time we went for a pretty strawberry kiwi spritzer popsicle.

It’s beautiful, huh?!

Ingredients:

Strawberry-Kiwi-Spritzer.jpg

6-8 sliced strawberries

one sliced kiwi

1/4 part white grape juice

1/4 part lemon-lime soda (or lemon/lime juice mixed with water)

popsicle moldsΒ (affiliate)

For the popsicle molds, consider theseΒ affiliate links:

Directions:

Slice your fruit into fairly thin pieces.

Drop them into the popsicle molds. You can layer the strawberries with the kiwis or vary them like I did!

Mix the white grape juice and the lemon-lime soda together.

Pour over the fruit and freeze for approximately four hours.

I originally tried this recipe with coconut water. While I love it in the coconut water, the kids didn’t find it sweet enough. Since we are kicking off the opening of pool season–which means the completion of my month long journey of getting the pool to turn from green to clear blue–we are celebrating with a refreshing treat so I gave in to the kid pressure. They really do taste better this way!

      Love her popsicles, too! And so smart to get in those extra vitamins through the fruit. Will be making these for my kiddos this summer.

    Ummm … I found this recipe after it was incorrectly linked from a Parade Magazine article at http://communitytable.parade.com/508170/tiffanymartel/keep-cool-this-summer-with-19-homemade-popsicle-recipes/#gallery_508170-17 (Thank you Google!)

    The pic looked yummy, so I hunted it down and was copying the recipe and …

    1/4 white grape juice
    1/4 lemon/lime soda

    Hunh. 1/4 WHAT!?!? Cups. liters, ah … I give up. I’ll experiment, I guess.

      It’s 1/4 part white grape juice, 1/4 part lemon/lime soda. It really depends on how big your popsicle containers are and how much you are making.

    Yum, these look beautiful and delicious! I have thought about getting some popsicle molds for my kids. I have heard there’s lots of great ways to turn them into secretly healthy treats for your kids! I worried they might be too hard to get out of the molds though…do you ever have this issue? Thanks for sharing at the Family Joy Linkup!

      It’s really quite easy to get them out of the molds… and if you do find they’re stuck, run some lukewarm water on the outside of the mold. They’ll “pop” right out. (Sorry… couldn’t resist the pun!)
