They\u2019re naturally sweet and tangy with a touch of creaminess from coconut milk. And unlike most popsicles, these are made with 100 percent real fruit and no added sugar.\n\nWhether you eat one for a healthy midday treat or grab one for breakfast<\/a>, they\u2019re the perfect way to cool down (or get your sweet fix) while giving your skin some extra love!\n\nBonus: They couldn\u2019t be easier to make!\n

Skin-Friendly Popsicle Ingredients<\/h2>\nPopsicles may seem like a healthy treat. But don\u2019t be fooled by the \u201cmade with real fruit\u201d marketing! Most store-bought options are just sugar water with added food dye\u2014not exactly beauty food.\n\nInstead of reaching for one of the artificially flavored frozen treats, try out this mango raspberry popsicle recipe. They require only five simple ingredients that have added skin-boosting properties<\/a> to help nourish and hydrate your summer skin.\n\nLet\u2019s take a closer look at these skin superfoods.\n

Mango<\/h3>\nThis tropical beauty food adds a pop of flavor and natural sweetness. It’s jam-packed with vitamin C, one of the best nutrients for skin.\n\nVitamin C protects the skin from air pollutants<\/a> and sun damage while you\u2019re out and about. It also plays an essential role in the production of collagen<\/a>, which maintains the firmness and elasticity of your skin.\n\nMangoes are also rich in carotenoids, a type of vitamin A, known for its antioxidant qualities.\n

Raspberry<\/h3>\nJust like mangoes, raspberries are a good source of skin-supporting vitamin C<\/a>.\n\nRaspberries are also an excellent source of phytochemicals, flavanoids, carotenoids, polyphenols, vitamins, and minerals. They protect and support the health of skin cells and can reduce the signs of aging.\n

Coconut milk<\/h3>\nThis nourishing milk comes from blended coconut meat. It\u2019s high in healthy fats<\/a> that are essential for healthy, glowing skin.\n\nEating healthy fats helps your skin hold onto moisture<\/a>, while also fortifying the skin cell membranes. This helps keep your elastic and fresh.\n\nIn addition to the healthy fats, coconut milk contains vitamins and minerals like vitamin C, vitamin E, B6, iron, and magnesium.\n

Coconut water<\/h3>\nThink of coconut water as nature\u2019s sports drink. Coconut water is incredibly hydrating and acts as a natural electrolyte replacement<\/a>.\n\nIt\u2019s full of antioxidants, B vitamins, vitamin C, and minerals like calcium, potassium, magnesium, and zinc<\/a>. Zinc helps protect the skin from damage caused by UV light<\/a>.\n\n\"Fruit\n

How to Make Homemade Fruit Popsicles<\/h2>\nMaking homemade popsicles may seem overwhelming, but they couldn\u2019t be easier to make. You don\u2019t even need a popsicle mold! However, we think it\u2019s worth the investment.\n\nTruly, the hardest part about making homemade popsicles is waiting for them to freeze!\n

1. Gather Your Equipment<\/h3>\nTo start, it’ll help to have a popsicle mold. You can purchase them on Amazon for $20.\n\nBut if you don\u2019t have the patience to wait for your shipment or can\u2019t justify making the investment, you have other options. You can make popsicles using small paper cups, muffin tins, or even a loaf pan.\n\nIf using whole fruit, you\u2019ll need a blender or food processor. If you don\u2019t own one of these kitchen appliances, you can still make popsicles using your favorite cold-pressed juice!\n

2. Choose your fruit<\/h3>\nHomemade fruit popsicles are a blank canvas for you to get creative with different types of produce. There are endless flavor combinations you can choose from and pair together.\n\nPlus, you don\u2019t have to stop at fruit! For added nutrients, try sneaking in veggies just like you would a smoothie<\/a>. Spinach and cucumber make for extra nutrient-dense and hydrating popsicles.\n

3. Blend and Freeze<\/h3>\nUsing whole fruit requires a quick blitz in the blender or food processor. Then pour into your mold and place it in the freezer.\n\nThe amount of time it takes your popsicles to freeze depends on the mold you use. Typically, the timeframe is at least four hours. While it’s not an instant treat, the wait is well worth it.\n
