Get the recipe: Beat-the-Heat Grape Popsicles (prepped in 3 minutes!)
Cool down with these super-easy Grape Popsicles. Made with just grapes and a touch of honey, they’re naturally sweet and full of juicy flavor. Want to mix it up? Add a splash of lemon or grape juice for an extra zing. They take less than 5 minutes to prep, and my little ones love helping blend and pour. Easy, fun, and perfect for those hot summer days!
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
