In my endless pursuit to turn everything into popsicles, I am so excited to share this Grape Pops recipe with you. It’s easy, fresh, and pure grape flavor. They’re a refreshing snack and packed with nutrients and hydration too!
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.

Could I substitute something else in place of grape juice if I don’t have anything on hand? I was thinking maybe yogurt…what are your thoughts on that?
Plain or vanilla yogurt is totally fine. You could also blend the grapes, then add a smidge of water as needed to make the mixture very well blended. Both will work similarly. Enjoy!
Hello,
I made this recipe and filled a disposable freezer mold bag with it. I gave it to my 3.5 year old who loved it and ate probably about 80% of it. Then in the middle of the night she woke up vomiting and has had diarrhea and horrible stomach pain all day. She’s also running a fever. I’m wondering if she ate too many grapes and this is causing all the distress. Or if it just an odd coincidence and she has a bug. What size mold do your kids typically eat? How many ounces?
There is no logical reason why a popsicle made from fruit would cause that unless the ingredients were contaminated. But kids get sick a lot so I would assume they were not related. And I hope it passes very quickly!
Great way to hide veggies! Which popsicle mold is this ?
It’s this one from Tovolo.
