Top 10 Popsicle Molds for Fruit and Veggie Pops

Time to throw out those cracked old pop molds! Find the best popsicle molds for your fresh fruit and veggie blends and serve more healthy frozen treats.

My kids love popsicles and would eat them every day. And I usually let them, because I make my own popsicles and they are almost always just fruit! It’s easy to add veggies, or other healthy add-ins when you make your own. I know my kids will be eating more fruits and veggies when I have homemade popsicles in my freezer. The key to making a really great homemade popsicle is not only in the recipe, but also in the type of popsicle mold you use.  Keep reading for our Top 10 Popsicle Molds and how they compare.

The Easiest Way to Make Homemade Popsicles

We make smoothies almost everyday, but a lot of times won’t finish the entire batch. If you have your own popsicle molds, you won’t ever have to waste leftover smoothie!

Just pour what you don’t eat into the mold, and eat the popsicles later. Sometimes kids don’t like the texture of a smoothie, or won’t drink it right away. When it’s frozen in a popsicle shape, kids may find it more exciting and approachable. I have found my kids will eat almost any smoothie this way, regardless of the color.

What are the Best Popsicle Molds to Buy?

We put together our Top 10 Popsicle Molds for you.   I use them in different situations for different recipes depending on what I’m making and of course depending on which kids will be eating the popsicles.  There are some popsicle molds that are better for smaller kids because of the size or how well your child can grip the handle.
