Hydrating Grape Popsicles

How do I keep my kids cool and hydrated when the summer heat hits and they’re just not into drinking water? Two words: grape popsicles!

Popsicles are a win for so many reasons: they’re cool and refreshing, easy to make, and endlessly customizable. My kids especially love these grape popsicles—they’re sweet, full of real fruit, and a great way to sneak in some extra hydration without the fuss. We also like to rotate in these creamy Strawberry Yogurt Popsicles or these ridiculously bright and juicy Healthy Watermelon Popsicles (my favorite) to keep things fun and flavorful.

Plus, making popsicles together is a great way to get your kids involved in the kitchen—and a sweet little bonus for those hot summer afternoons. 🍇

Ingredients 

  • 3 cups grapes, seedless
  • 2-3 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice (optional)
  • 2 tbsp grape juice (optional)

Instructions 

  • Place all of the ingredients into a blender.
  • Blend for 30-60 seconds or until completely smooth.
  • Pour the mixture into your popsicle molds, and add popsicle sticks.
  • Place in the freezer and freeze for at least 5 hours, but preferably overnight. Pop the popsicles out of the molds and enjoy!

Notes

Age: 9+ months (omit the sweetener for 12 months and younger)
Yield: this recipe makes roughly 2 cups of popsicle mixture. You may need to increase/decrease that amount based on your popsicle mold size. If you have any leftovers, feel free to serve it as a smoothie or smoothie bowl to your kiddos (or yourself). 
Notes on Juice: you can omit the juice if you prefer or don’t have it on hand. It helps thin out the popsicle mixture a little bit, but the popsicles are also great without the juice added in. 
Sweetness: Depending on the sweetness of your fruit and your sweetness preference, I recommend tasting the popsicle base before pouring it into the molds, as you may need a little more honey. 

Cooking with Kids

This recipe is great for having your little ones help you with it.

Toddlers

  • Toddlers can help measure and pour the ingredients into the blender.
  • They can help put the lid on the blender and push start. Note: make sure to talk about not touching the blender blade while making something in the blender, as it can be sharp.
  • Once blended, toddlers can help pour the popsicle mixture into the popsicle molds. You may want to pour the popsicle mixture into a smaller measuring cup with a pour lip to make it easier on them.
  • With help, they can place the popsicle molds into the freezer. My kids always spill the tray at this point, so just give them an extra hand.

Kids

  • You can pretty much let older kids make this recipe by themselves.
  • They can pick out and measure all of the ingredients. Note: make sure to talk about not touching the blender blade while making something in the blender, as it can be sharp.
  • Kids can pour the popsicle mixture into the molds and place the popsicles into the freezer.
