With an easy method and bright fruit flavor, these Peach Popsicles are refreshing and delicious for any age. They are quick to make, super flavorful, and a nourishing snack or dessert to share.
Bursting with fresh fruit flavor, these easy Peach Popsicles are a total hit with the kids. They are easy to make with fresh or frozen fruit—or you can use canned fruit if needed—and are a perfect way to cool off, work as a hydration food, and are a yummy toddler snack on for a vitamin-rich treat.
We love having popsicles on hand to change up how we eat produce, and I often use them as a way to prevent food waste. (I simply stash sliced leftover fruit in a freezer bag until I have enough to make a batch of fruit popsicles!)
You can make these fruit popsicles all year round using frozen peaches as shown here, though they are particularly amazing and flavorful with fresh ripe peaches when they’re in season.

Ingredients You Need
Here’s a look at the ingredients you need to have on hand to make this peach popsicle recipe.
- Sliced peaches: You can use fresh peaches or thawed-from-frozen peaches. You can also make these with canned peaches if that’s an easier option for you; simply drain off the liquid from the fruit before you start.
- Apple juice: Depending on the juiciness of the fruit, it’s usually easiest to blend them by adding a little liquid. I like to use apple juice since it has a neutral flavor that lets the fresh peach flavor shine through. You can also make them slightly creamy by using full-fat coconut milk, solids only, or plain whole-milk Greek yogurt.
- Honey (or maple syrup; optional): The sweetness of peaches can vary a lot, so taste the blended mixture and add a little sweetener as needed.
