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:
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 molds (affiliate)

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!

I love her popsicles and this is sooooo smart! What a great way to sneak in extra fruit too!
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.
These are such pretty popsicles! We have some new light saber popsicle molds I think these will be a great recipe for them!
Light saber molds?!?!?! Oh my goodness I’m going to have to find those 🙂
These look awesome! Thank you so much for sharing it!
I’m going to make these for my grands this summer. Thank you for sharing the recipe. Yum!
Absolutely! I think your grandkids are going to eat them up. They are so refreshing 🙂
Yum. I really like the coconut water idea. My husband loves his popsicles. This could be just the fix.
And it’s a healthy fix! Let me know if you make them and what you thought 🙂
Looks so tasty! Thanks so much for sharing with us at Motivational Monday. Hope you will link up with us tonight!

This looks amazing!!! Seriously.. YOU ROCKED IT THIS WEEK! Thank you for linking up at the Creative K Kids’ Tasty Tuesdays! I have pinned your post to our Tasty Tuesdays Pinterest Board!! I hope to see you again this week! xo
And I thought I was pretty special with my freeze-juice-and-call-it-a-popsicle ice pops! lol! These look awesome!
Time to up your game, Emma… and the thing is it really is easy 🙂 Happy eating!
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.
These look really yummy! Thanks for sharing on the What’s for Dinner Link up!
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!)
Mmmm! These look and sound so fabulous and refreshing. I have got to make these!
Thanks for sharing (and for linking up to the #SHINEbloghop).
Wishing you a lovely day.

This looks delicious! I might make it with coconut water as you originally tried, for less sugar. thanks for linking your post up with us at the best of the blogosphere! Can’t wait to see what you have for us this week!
