Lemon Blueberry Popsicles

Popsicles are one of my favorite ways to beat the heat.

These homemade popsicles are fresh tasting, being naturally sweetened with honey, and bursting with fresh blueberry flavor, with just the right amount of bright lemony tang.

Best of all, theyโ€™re very easy to make. The hardest part is waiting for them to freeze!

Ingredients in Blueberry Lemon Popsicles

  • Blueberries: I often use a mix of fresh and frozen blueberries for the best texture and flavor, but you can use whatever you have on hand.
  • Lemon Juice: A squeeze of fresh lemon juice gives them a refreshing citrus twist.
  • Honey: Adds a touch of natural sweetness. Depending on how sweet your berries are, you can adjust the honey to taste.

Simple Variations

  • Creamy Lemon Blueberry Popsicles: Add ยฝ cup of Greek yogurt or coconut milk to the blender for a creamier texture. This also adds a bit of protein and richness.
  • Mixed Berry Popsicles: Swap out 1 cup of the blueberries for raspberries or strawberries. Just keep the total berry amount to 3 cups.
  • Lavender Lemon Blueberry: Add a tiny pinch (less than ยผ tsp) of dried culinary lavender to the blender for a subtle floral note that pairs well with the lemon.
  • Swirled Popsicles: Blend half the mixture as directed, then blend the other half with ยผ cup Greek yogurt or coconut cream. Layer the two mixtures into the molds for a pretty, marbled effect.

Popsicle Storage

These popsicles store well. Just layer them between pieces of wax paper or parchment paper and place in an airtight container (Or wrap them individually), and keep in the freezer for up to 3 months.

      The Greek yogurt added is so good! Taste before you freeze to make sure they are sweet enough!

    I used only frozen blueberries. I added a little extra lemon because I love tart flavors. We really liked these popsicles.

    1. Sandy says:

      That’s great! You can always use more lemon juice!

  3. Sherritta says:

    Always looking for blueberry recipes. We have 8 plants in the garden and boy do they put out a bunch of berries every summer. Iโ€™m going to give this a try this summer. Sounds yummy. Thanks for the recipe!
