It’s heating up out there, and one of the most delicious ways to cool down is with an ice pop. Bonus points if it’s homemade with “good for you” ingredients! Some are perfect as a snack or dessert and others are packed with so much goodness, they can totally be enjoyed for breakfast.

The ice pop molds in this roundup are both super functional, easy to work with, and of course, adorable! The recipes below are not mold-specific, so feel free to mix and match. Stay cool!

2-Tone Fruit Pops

Ingredients:

1 and 3/4 cups frozen mango chunks (or strawberry, blueberries or any other frozen fruit of choice)

Splash of water or liquid of your choice

Drizzle of honey (optional)

Directions:

1. Place frozen mango cubes and water in a high-speed blender. Add honey, if using. Blend until smooth.

2. Pour one tablespoon of the mango mixture into silicone molds.

3. Repeat step 1 with the frozen strawberries. Top the popsicles with another tablespoon of the strawberry mixture.

4. Place the molds in the freezer for four to six hours. Gently remove the popsicles from the molds. Enjoy!

Vanilla With Sprinkles

2 cups yogurt
1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

3. Leave them to set until they are completely frozen, about four hours.

Tips:

When ready to enjoy, remove the molds from the freezer and let them stand for five minutes before popping out the ices. If you’re still having trouble releasing them, fill a pan or container that is at least as tall as your mold with warm (not hot) water, and briefly dip the mold in until the pops loosen, about 20 to 30 seconds. I found all these molds super easy to use with no trouble, but these tips should help, just in case!

To Store:

Once you remove your popsicles from their molds, lay them on a parchment or wax paper-covered baking sheet (or plate if that’s what will fit in your freezer) and refreeze for 15 to 20 minutes until completely re-frozen. Then place in a plastic freezer bag or airtight container.
