Basic Popsicle Supplies:

• Popsicle Molds
• Popsicle Sticks
• Bowl with easy pour spout
• Blender

If you don’t have popsicle molds, don’t worry! Small paper cups work great! Plastic can work too, paper are just easier to tear away after your homemade popsicles come out of the freezer!

Homemade Popsicle Bases

There are tons of ways to start out these delicious homemade popsicle recipes but most start with some sort of fruit juice or fruit puree. Whether that be grape juice, apple juice, orange juice, or pineapple juice, this adds a layer of flavor and you can mix and match in recipes to create different flavor combinations.

Non-fruit bases include milk, coconut milk, almond milk, or creams. Milks and creams are not the only thing to give you a creamy texture, some include avocado! Yes, you read that correctly!

For the most part, the fruit gives the added sweetness but sometimes a sweetener may need to be used. Honey, agave, sugar or simple syrup and even some Splenda.
