These Homemade Electrolyte Popsicles are my go-to on hot days, after the kids have been running around outside, or any time they need something more refreshing than plain water. They’re made with coconut water, a hint of honey, and a bright pop of lemon.

Why I Love This Recipe
- Refreshing: Coconut water and a pinch of salt make these more thirst-quenching than a regular popsicle, perfect for a hot afternoon.
- Naturally Sweetened: Just a touch of honey, and you control how much, so they’re not too sweet.
- Kid-Approved: An easy way to get a little more fluid into kids on a hot day or when they’re not feeling like eating much.
The Ingredients
- Coconut Water: The base of these popsicles, naturally refreshing with a subtle sweetness.
- Fresh Lemon Juice: Bright and zesty, it adds a tangy kick that balances the sweetness.
- Honey: A touch of natural sweetness that’s easy to adjust to your taste.
- Sea Salt: Just a pinch brings out the other flavors.
How to Make Homemade Electrolyte Popsicles
Step 1: Whisk ingredients in a mixing bowl until smooth. Taste and adjust honey to preferred sweetness.
Step 2: Carefully pour the mixture into ice pop molds, leaving a little space at the top for expansion.
Step 3: Put the molds in the freezer for at least 6 hours. When ready to enjoy, run molds under warm water for 30 seconds or until ice pops are easy to release.
Tips and Tricks
- Add Other Ingredients: Feel free to add other ingredients to these Homemade Electrolyte Popsicles like a touch of grated ginger or even swap the lemon for orange juice.
- Extra Fun for Kids: Add slices of fruit or edible flowers to the molds before freezing for a colorful touch. You can also use fun popsicle molds! I love these star-shaped ones and these push pops!
