What is it about kids and popsicles? They just go together 🙂 These homemade fruit popsicles are the simplest to make, and the kids love them. I treasure moments like these.
Super Easy Watermelon Fruit Popsicles
Ingredients:
about 2 cups cubed seedless watermelon (or watermelon with seeds removed)
3 kiwi fruits
½ cup blueberries, fresh or frozen and thawed
1 banana, sliced into pieces just wide enough to fit in the mold
Directions:
- Put the watermelon in a blender and purée until smooth. Set aside.
- Cut each kiwi in half. Run a spoon around the edge where the skin meets the fruit to scoop out each half in one piece. Cut each half in half again lengthwise if the kiwi won’t fit in the pop mold.
- Divide the kiwi pieces, banana slices, and blueberries among the 6 molds. To ensure that the kiwi and banana are the most visible after freezing, press them against the sides of the molds.
- Fill the molds with watermelon puree, add the sticks, then freeze.
- To remove the pops from the molds, place them in a bowl of very hot water for 10 seconds or more to loosen them.
Note: I use these fun Tovolo molds because they’re BPA-free—woohoo!

My mouth began watering the moment I visited your blog today, Kelly! My gosh. I’ve been crazy about popsicles lately. I’ve been making them with protein powders as a snack after my long runs. So delicious!

I got these type of posticle molds in Canada at Walmart and Home Hardware had some too. They are great but my kids are a little small to eat a whole one of them (4 and 2)
Becca says
You are so creative! I can’t wait to try this.

These r delicious! I just have a question. I have these same molds but I can never get the pop to come out ON the stick! Any pointers?? Kinda disappointing for the kids to have to use a spoon. 😉

Thanks guys!
Kim and Megan, I was just looking at the fruit in the store and I saw watermelon and thought, oooh—red! 😉
Anonymous, That is a bummer about them coming off the sticks. Are you soaking them in hot water for a few seconds before pulling them out? Maybe you need to soak for more time?

Those are really pretty Popsicles! Haha, this is the first recipe I’ve ever seen that’s made me want to go out and buy some molds.

I had a dream about these popsicles. I am living in S. Korea for a year. I wish I was back home in the states to make them. In S. Korea a watermelon is about $15 so it is not practical.
