Instead of forcing yourself to eat peaches and berries for breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert—and every snack in between—why not get a little bit creative and whip up some fruit popsicle recipes? (They’re a fit for basically any meal.)

Sure, you can find an endless selection of popsicles in the freezer section of your grocery store. But what if you want something without tons of added sugar—something that actually tastes like fruit? Your best bet is to DIY with the help of a creative fruit popsicle recipe. Plus, actually making a popsicle will make you feel way more accomplished than a quick trip to the grocery store will.

Whether you’re looking to use up berries, peaches, melons or another favorite fruit, you’re bound to find a fruit popsicle recipe that fits the bill in the list below. Most are very simple, and you don’t need to get exact about ingredients or measurements. Just make sure you let the popsicles fully set before taking one out of the freezer to snack on.
