    HEALTHY RAINBOW POPSICLES ARE FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY!

    This multicolored popsicle is a great popsicle recipe for kids! All natural colors and ingredients so they are not eating too much sugar or artificial additives! Plus, its a really easy popsicle recipe so you can have some help making these! 🙂

    ARE FRUIT POPSICLES HEALTHY?

    Store bought fruit popsicles are not usually healthy because they are loaded with added sugars. Keep in mind we should only eat about 25 grams of added sugars per day.

    My rainbow popsicles are real fruit popsicles made with just fruit, yogurt, and super food powders!

    WHICH POPSICLES ARE HEALTHIEST?

    The healthiest popsicles are those made without added sugar. My rainbow popsicles are all made the no sugar and naturally sweetened with banana and other ripe fruits.

    HOW DO YOU MAKE COLORFUL POPSICLES WITHOUT FOOD DYE?

    To make colorful popsicles, use fresh ripe fruit mixed with super food powders! Super food powders will give you natural vibrant colored popsicles.

    • Red = strawberries
    • Orange = mango
    • Yellow = pineapple + passion fruit flakes
    • Green = honeydew melon + moringa powder
    • Blue = blue spirulina
    • Purple = blueberries + blackberries

    TIPS FOR MAKING THE BEST HEALTHY RAINBOW POPSICLES WITH FRUIT

    Spoon the mixture in rather than pour. If you pour each layer in quickly, the colors will mix together. If you want more distinct layers (but still with a little swirl because that happens naturally), spoon the mixture in!

    Freeze after each layer if you want solid lines. Now, if you want to have solid layers, you will have to freeze your popsicles after each addition. I would probably freeze them for at least 45 minutes to an hour to make sure each layer is set enough so that then next layer doesn't blend into it.

    Rinse your blender. This one seems like a no-brainer, but sometimes in the haste of cooking we forget these little things. Make sure you rinse it so you don't end up with any funky colors.

    Wipe the insides of the molds. This is another way to make sure your popsicles look really pretty. You will notice some of the fruit puree gets on the sides of the molds after you pour it in. To make sure the colors really pop, use a paper towel to wipe off the insides of the molds after each color addition.

    FAQ's

    Frequently asked questions about my rainbow popsicles.

    Are rainbow popsicles vegan?

    No these are not vegan because of the greek yogurt. However, you can easily make them vegan by substituting any plant based yogurt in place of the vanilla greek yogurt.

    How do I store rainbow popsicles?

    I have individual popsicle wrappers (you can get them right on amazon). Or, you can line a container with parchment paper and place the popsicles in there!

    How long do rainbow popsicles last?

    It really depends on how fast you eat them! Rainbow popsicles store well in the freezer for up to a month. But any longer than that and you could end up with freezer burned popsicles, especially if they're not stored in an airtight package or container.

    How do I pick the best banana for no sugar rainbow popsicles?

    Remember that the riper the banana is, the sweeter it will be. I always use EXTRA ripe bananas when I am making a dessert so that it is really sweet. You can tell it is ripe when the banana has a lot of brown spots.

    INGREDIENTS FOR RAINBOW POPSICLES & THEIR HEALTHY BENEFITS

    Bananas: a great source of potassium vitamin B6, vitamin C, magnesium, copper and manganese.

    Greek yogurt: protein, vitamin D, and calcium. They also contain healthy bacteria for your gut! Good gut health= good mood.

    Pineapple: super high in vitamin C. Also contains a powerful enzyme called bromelain, which helps to reduce inflammation. Chronic anxiety & depression is linked to chronic inflammation.

    Honeydew melon: another great source of vitamin C. Also has a lot of liquid in it so it is very hydrating.

    Blueberries: known as a SUPER fruit. They contain many nutrients and have been shown to reduce risk of cancer.

    Blackberries: packed with vitamin C. Thanks to the little seeds in them, they are also good sources of fiber!

    And the super food powders, which are totally optional but I liked them to make the colors more vibrant. Plus, the super food powders make these popsicles even healthier!

    Notes

    *You can either use fresh or frozen bananas for this. Fresh ripe bananas will blend a lot faster, but take longer to freeze. Frozen bananas will take longer to blend, but freeze faster. The more ripe the banana (the more black spots), the sweeter your popsicles will be.
    **If you are vegan, substitute coconut yogurt or another plant based yogurt.
    ***Make sure rinse the blender or food processor out after each layer.

      I am loving these rainbow beauties, Rosemary. My kids would go crazy for these - we have a mass production of popsicles going on here during summer and these would be very popular, I can tell. I love the ingredients you have used and the powder sound fabulous! And 6 layers - wow! Very cool (literally).
