I’m going to keep this short and sweet today, because that’s the theme of these Dairy Free Peach-Mango Smoothie Popsicles…short and sweet! These peach-mango popsicles have just 3 ingredients and take very little time to make!
Popsicles are a refreshing summer treat that never go out of style! I can’t remember a time in my life when popsicles weren’t a “thing”. Whether they are fruity or ice creamy, chocolatey or boozy, popsicles always seem like a good idea when the temps soar.
Of course, packaged popsicles are often loaded with sugar and artificial colors and flavors, which our bodies definitely don’t need or want.
And, I know, it’s not always simple and quick to make a healthy homemade version of a favorite packaged treat (even though it’s definitely worth it!), BUT, in the case of popsicles, it is SO EASY to do.

How to Make Homemade Popsicles
To make homemade popsicles you need:
- Popsicle molds
- Popsicle sticks (most popsicle mold sets have built in sticks or supply the sticks for you)
- Whatever popsicle mixture you want to make (fruity, ice creamy, chocolatey, boozy, etc.)
Here are the steps:
- Pour the popsicle mixture into the molds, leaving a small space at the top for the mixture to expand as it freezes
- Insert popsicle sticks if needed
- Cover the molds with the lids provided with the molds or with plastic wrap
- Freeze the popsicles until completely frozen.
- Loosen popsicles from the molds as directed.
- Remove popsicles from the molds.
- Enjoy!

What if I Don’t Have Popsicle Molds?
You can still make popsicles! You just need to use small paper or plastic cups and popsicle sticks instead of the popsicle molds. Here are the steps:
- Pour the popsicle mixture into the cups.
- Cover the cups with foil.
- Poke a popsicle stick through the top of the foil and down into the popsicle mixture.
- Set the cups on a tray.
- Freeze the popsicles until completely frozen.
- Remove the foil from the cups.
- Loosen popsicles from the cups by briefly running water over the outsides of the cups.
- Remove popsicles from the cups.
- Enjoy!

How to Store Homemade Popsicles
Once your popsicles are completely frozen, you can leave them in the molds in the freezer up to 1 to 2 months.
But,storing the popsicles in the molds doesn’t allow you to make more popsicles or other flavors of popsicles since your molds are occupied!
Here’s what you can do instead:
- Remove the popsicles from the molds. Place a sheet of wax paper or parchment paper in the bottom of a plastic container.
- Place popsicles in a single layer in the bottom of the container (make sure the popsicles aren’t touching each other!).
- Place a sheet of wax paper or parchment paper atop the molds and add another layer of popsicles atop the paper if needed.
- Cover the container and store the popsicles in the freezer for 1 to 2 months. The popsicles will easily peel off the paper so you can remove the number of popsicles from the container that you plan to eat.

These refreshing Dairy Free Peach-Mango Smoothie Popsicles were a hit with my kids, and they already put in their requests for what flavor of popsicles I should develop next. Strawberry chocolate for my son (good taste, buddy!) and “rainbow” for my color-loving daughter. How about you? What flavor would you like to see in a healthy popsicle?
