As a kid, nothing screamed summer more than the upbeat chime of the ice cream truck and it’s hard not to associate warm temperatures with cold, creamy ice cream and popsicles.
Last summer, I purchased a popsicle mold and began dabbling in making my own popsicles at home. I was amazed at just how easy it is to make your own sweet treats and love the fact that when I make popsicles at home, I know everything that’s going in them and can play around with tons of different flavor combinations.
Some of our favorites from last summer:
- Pineapple mint
- Coconut banana
- Strawberry mango
- Banana chocolate chip
I’m hoping to get a little more creative this year and try my hand at some cocktail-inspired popsicles… But I suppose I’ll have to keep things booze-free around here until after our little one arrives. Since my mojito and strawberry champagne-flavored popsicles will have to wait, for the time being, my summertime beverage-inspired popsicle will be this delicious strawberry lemonade beauty!
These pretty pink popsicles are coming your way today thanks to a collaboration with Silk!
Earlier this week, I made half a dozen strawberry lemonade popsicles with fresh lemon juice, frozen strawberries, vanilla almond milk, a touch of maple syrup and Silk Dairy-Free Yogurt Alternative made with real fruit (and no artificial flavors or colors)! Only five simple ingredients. Not too shabby, right?!
These popsicles are refreshing, lightly sweet, dairy-free and oh-so-creamy thanks to Silk Dairy-Free and lots of blended strawberries. They come together quickly and after popping them in the freezer overnight, you’ll have a flavorful dessert on your hands, perfect for a hot spring or summer night!

Yum! I made your blueberry coconut milk ones last year and they were amazing
Yum! I can’t wait to try these
Thanks for inspiring me to pull mine out from the depths of my cabinet. I’m almost to the bottom of a half gallon of Baskin Robbins Mint Chocolate Chip. Time for something new.
mint chocolate chip sounds awfully fabulous right now…
I would have never thought to use maple syrup in a popsicle!
I love the strawberry-lemon and strawberry-banana combos, but I’ve never tried to make my own Popsicles. Definitely happening this summer!
they’re so, so easy!!! once you make your own popsicles once, you’ll be hooked!
These look so so yummy! I love a creamy popsicle!
Those sound so good! I’m really tempted to hop on Amazon right now and buy a popsicle mold
Ohmigosh! Those look amazing!!! I’ve never made popsicles before, but I think I’m gonna this weekend. YUM!
Yum! With a little dude this summer, I’m thinking we’re going to be making a lot of ice pops in my parts!
Those look great! My husband makes ice pops all the time in the summer. I always try to tell him to use yogurt instead of just juice… maybe showing him this will help sway him!
Yum! These look so great and simple to make! I will definitely be recreating these sometime soon!
Hey Julie!! You are the cutest preggo and I just love following your journey. This is totally off the Popsicle topic but will you ever bring back the book club? I miss your book recommendations!! :))
Me too Brooke!!! That was what I read each month!!! Bring it back Julie!!
Coconut milk, cocoa powder, vanilla, and honey make awesome “fudgecicles “!
These look soo yummy! I love the strawberry + lemonade combo Can’t wait to try ’em!
I’ve never made my own Popsicles, but growing up a friends mom made root beer float Popsicles! If anyone ever masters that one – share with me!!!
I didn’t know Silk had DF yogurt! Yeah!! I just hope Publix will carry it. Being DF and GF I’ll have to make these for my sweet treat!! Thanks for posting!!
What a great flavor combination! I love your blueberry grape Popsicles from last year and my 3 year old does too. So fun and simple to make!
Those popsicles look so yummy!!
Hey. I think I found myself an inspiration to make these delicious summer treats just in time for the hot weather. thanks for sharing!

Last Night with Lee
These look delicious! My son is dairy-free so these would be perfect for him! We usually use the Silk yogurt in smoothies but the popsicles are a great idea!
Yum! I have made my own before, and now that’s it’s been hitting the 80s this week on the East Coast (high 90 on Sunday?!) I think it may be time to break them out again. Definitely going to try this combination and the pineapple/mint. I made a really refreshing creamsicle smoothie last summer with orange juice and vanilla almond/coconut milk (and maybe a little banana?) and I think it would be great as popsicles.
I was just thinking about this the other day!! I love knowing that all the ingredients are real wholesome ingredients, and I feel like they taste so much better this way
I just got back from Brazil and fresh juice is a huge thing there. My favorite combo was pineapple mint– it sounds like a brilliant idea for a popsicle! I’m going to give it a try!
I need your honesty here — do the Popsicles come out of the molds easily?? I have bought a couple for my kiddos and i struggle getting the Popsicles out!!! THANK YOU!!!
YES!!! Just run them under warm/hot water and after about 30 seconds they slip right out!
This post just made me soooo excited for summertime!
Oh my goodness, YES! Thank you so much for this recipe! I have 2 dairy-free/gluten-free women in my church small group and I was just looking for something summery to bring for snack next week. I think I found my winner!
it looks so yummy! I want to try making some of these soon! thanks for the post

Yum! Those look completely delicious and perfect for summer. Excellent idea
these looks awesome – I think I may have to get myself some popsicle molds. Way safer knowing whats going into them for me!
Can you please post recipes for the other flavors you made? They all sound incredible!
Always look forward to your posts! Love your positive attitude!
I’ve made my own popsicles many times I just basically make a smoothie and pour them into the molds. My favorite was banana, strawberries and orange juice. Even my nieces (who were 4 at the time) loved them!
These looks delicious! I”m all about anything lemonade during the summer.
I made these tonight and don’t know what I did wrong. I had a ton leftover!
Ditto this comment. If anyone tries them in the future, maybe use giant molds or cut the ingredients back.
