Homemade freezer pops are one of our very favorite warm weather afternoon snacks and I love to pack them with vitamins and nutrients from fresh fruit like grapes. Grapes are rich with polyphenols and contain vitamin K, copper and B vitamins—and they may even help keep eyes healthy. And their natural sweetness makes them a total hit with the kids! TIP: Whole grapes are considered to be a choking hazard in kids until they are 4 years old, but they are perfectly safe and yummy when you blend them into freezer pops like these!

Ingredients You Need
To make this recipe, you’ll need to have the following ingredients on hand and ready to go.
Grapes (I like red, but any color works as long as they’re seedless) Grape juice: This adds moisture so the fruit easily blends, and adds more intense grape flavor that you expect in a grape popsicle.
TIP: You can omit the grape juice if you prefer, but I find that the small amount really makes the flavor sing.
Step-by-Step Instructions
This grape popsicle recipe is super easy. Here’s a peak at what’s involved. TIP: I usually freeze for 4-6 hours or overnight.
Best Tips for Success
I like to use classic red seedless grapes as I like the flavor when combined with the grape juice. You can omit the juice or use ½ cup plain or vanilla yogurt instead. Add a few raw cauliflower florets to add a veggie. Blend grape popsicles super smooth for the best final texture. Use a favorite freezer pop mold, or use small paper or plastic cups and popsicle sticks. Store frozen pops in a freezer storage bag for up to 1 month in the freezer. These are really great for teething relief (and may also help with constipation). You may also like Strawberry Popsicles, Mango Popsicles, Green Smoothie Pops, and Peach Ice Cream Pops. All of my favorite popsicle molds are here to help, too.
