Ingredients
- 4 kiwis
- 1/2 cup sliced strawberries
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- 1 cup cubed watermelon
- 1.5 cups coconut water
Instructions
-
Place cubed watermelon in blender and blend for a 30-40 seconds until it purees. Peel kiwis and thinly slice. Thinly slice strawberries and measure out 1/2 cup. Measure put 1/2 cup blueberries.
-
Fill about 1/2 an inch of watermelon puree into 10 popsicle molds. Start adding fruit into each mold evenly spreading kiwi slices, strawberry slices and blueberries. Pour in coconut water filling up about 2/3 of the way up of each mold. Pour the remaining watermelon puree to the rest of the way of each mold.
-
Secure popsicle mold with its lid then stick in popsicle sticks into each mold. Place fruit popsicles in freezer for at least 4-6 hours or overnight.

When popsicles have hardened, remove from freezer. Run under warm water for a few seconds so that they will easily pop out of the mold. I you are using a silicone mold like I did, you don't have to do this. They should easily pop right out. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Tips and Substitutions:
- Use silicone popsicle molds- These make it so easy to pop the popsicles out once they are frozen. You won't have to run them under warm water to loosen the pops.
- Substitute for any other fruit- You can use any fresh fruit in these popsicles. Peaches, cherries, raspberries, blackberries, mandarins, etc. are all great fruits to use in these pops too.
- Use ripe fruit- Ripe fruit build up more sugar making it sweeter which will also make your popsicles a bit sweeter without having to add any sweeteners.
- Drizzle fruit with honey or maple syrup- If you want your popsicles more on the sweeter side, drizzle and toss your fruit with a bit of honey or maple syrup to add some sweetness.
