Kefir Frozen Fruit Pops

Three ingredients. One blender. The most refreshing gut-friendly treat you’ll have all summer.

---

Bold statement incoming — but these might just be the best frozen fruit pops you’ll ever make. And yes, they’re actually good for you.

We’re talking creamy, fruity, naturally sweet ice pops made with coconut kefir — so not only are they completely plant-based, they’re also packed with billions of live bacteria that your gut is genuinely going to thank you for. Summer snacking, but make it functional.

What Is Kefir (And Why Should You Care)?

Kefir is a fermented drink that’s been around for centuries — traditionally made with dairy milk and live bacterial cultures. Think of it like a drinkable yoghurt, but tangier and even richer in probiotics.

These pops are made with The Coconut Collab’s brand-new Coconut Kefir, which is made with coconut milk — meaning it’s completely plant-based and every bit as creamy and delicious as the original. It has this beautiful refreshing tang with a gentle hint of coconut that pairs perfectly with fresh fruit. Honestly, the moment I tried it I immediately thought: frozen fruit pop.

Good gut bacteria + fruit antioxidants + a drizzle of honey = the kind of treat that does something good for your body while tasting like pure summer joy.

Why You’ll Love These Kefir Fruit Pops

• Make-ahead — freeze overnight and they’re ready when you need them

The Best Fruit Flavours to Use

Not all fruit is created equal when it comes to frozen pops — and after a lot of very enjoyable testing, here’s my definitive ranking:

🥇 Melon — the winner. Creamy, sweet, almost dessert-like. Absolutely dreamy frozen.

🥈 Mango — a very close second. Tropical, vibrant, and that golden colour is stunning.

🥉 Raspberries — the tangiest of the three and honestly incredible. The colour alone is enough to make anyone want one.

All three work brilliantly, so honestly — make all three and do your own taste test. You’re welcome.

Tips for the Best Results

• Use ripe fruit. The riper the fruit, the sweeter and more flavourful your pops will be — especially with melon and mango.
• Freeze overnight. I know it’s tempting to check after a few hours but trust the process. A full freeze overnight gives you a proper solid pop that won’t fall off the stick.
• Make a big batch. These keep in the freezer for up to a month (if they last that long — spoiler: they won’t). Scale up the recipe and make a tray of each flavour.
• Taste before you pour. Give your blended mixture a quick taste before it goes in the moulds. Want it a touch sweeter? Add a little more honey. This is your pop — make it perfect.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use frozen fruit instead of fresh? No, it’s best to stick with fresh fruit — refreezing previously frozen fruit isn’t recommended. Fresh fruit also gives you the best flavour and texture here.

Where can I find The Coconut Collab Coconut Kefir? It’s a brand-new product — keep an eye on The Coconut Collab’s website and your local supermarket (Sainsburys, Tesco, Ocado).

Can I make these without a blender? For mango and melon you might get away with mashing very ripe fruit well, but a blender really does give the smoothest, creamiest result. Highly recommend using one.

Are these suitable for kids? Absolutely — they’re naturally sweetened, made with wholesome ingredients, and completely additive-free. A much better option than a shop-bought ice lolly.

How long do they keep in the freezer? Up to one month in a sealed mould or zip-lock bag. Though I promise they’ll be eaten long before that.
