Kool-Aid Fruit Popsicles
Updated: Jan 17, 2023
An Easy and Healthy Recipe Your Kids Will Love!
I don't know about your kids, but mine live off of popsicles in the summer. Actually, anytime the temperature rises above 50 degrees, they think that calls for one lol! But, SUGAR! Most are loaded with it, so I've come up with a healthy alternative your kids will love that you don't have to feel guilty about!
Here are the ingredients and steps to create your own healthy Kool-Aid Fruit Popsicles:
RECIPE INGREDIENTS:
Unsweetened Kool-Aid packets
Fresh fruit
Fruit juice (optional)
Truvia sweetener (can also use sugar)
Pitcher
STEP 1: MIX KOOL-AID
Put a little hot water into your pitcher and dump in the Kool-Aid packet...stir. The hot water will help the Kool-Aid dissolve better. Add the rest of the required amount of water and stir.
You can also add in fruit juice to replace part or all of the water as an alternative option. The second photo has half fruit juice/half water mixed with the Kool-Aid.
STEP 2: POUR KOOL-AID INTO MOLDS
Once your mixture is complete, pour the liquid into the popsicle molds. Leave 1/2-1 inch of space at the top to add in the fruit.
STEP 3: CUT FRUIT
Wash your selected fresh fruit. Cut up the fruit into very small pieces.
STEP 4: ADD FRUIT
Add the chopped fruit to the liquid in the molds.
STEP 5: ADD TOPS & FREEZE
Add the tops to the molds and place in the freezer. Let freeze for at least 2 hours before removing.
NOTE: When you remove the popsicles, you may need to run a little warm water on the outside of the mold to release the popsicle.
Super simple, and the kids will love these this summer! I hope you enjoyed this recipe. I'd love to hear your thoughts on how these turn out for you. Don't forget to follow Urban Rhino on social media and subscribe to our website for more upcoming recipes and tutorials!
https://buryjerry.com The tip about leaving half an inch of space at the top so the fruit actually fits into the mold rather than spilling over is the kind of small detail that saves a messy counter, and I like that the fruit juice swap does double duty for flavor and reducing the sweetener. My own kids are picky about texture, so I usually freeze the fruit pieces slightly before adding them so they don't all sink to the bottom. Two hours seems about right, though I've found silicone molds release much easier than the plastic ones after a quick warm-water dip.
