32 Keto Popsicle Recipes for Sunny Summer Days
Enjoying a refreshing, delicious popsicle on a hot and sunny day may be something you’ve really missed on a Keto diet.
Not anymore, because these 32 yummy popsicle recipes are all Keto-friendly – and they’ll make you love this summer even more!
Why you shouldn’t eat most store-bought popsicle on a Keto diet
First of all, they tend to contain so much sugar it’s crazy! And if you’re lucky enough to find a sugar-free popsicle, it’ll most likely contain other non-keto ingredients (like artificial sweeteners).
And if you’re trying to be dairy-free, your search will get even harder.
What makes homemade popsicles so much better?
My favorite part is that I can add all the ingredients I love – and there’s nothing artificial in them. It’s super easy to make these even for a larger crowd (or if you just want to fill up your freezer with healthy treats…)
Homemade keto popsicles are also pretty inexpensive compared to the few keto-friendly options out there. You won’t have to destroy your budget to enjoy these summer desserts!
Be warned – this list is going to create a whole new problem. Which one of these am I going to make, first? Do I stick with just one recipe, or should I make three of them..?
Sorry, I can’t help you with that! But I can tell you that these are all pretty amazing!

One of the best things about making your own popsicles is that you can keep them fresh and fruity, but without adding sugar. If you can find black cherries, they go so well with the lime juice and can often be sweet enough that you won’t have to add much sweetener. There is also no reason why we adults can’t enjoy these too! If you don’t want the texture of the fruit you can blend it first before freezing.

The first thing you will notice about these amazing popsicles is the beautiful marbling of the cream and fruit mixture! These definitely do not look like homemade treats!

Here is another great recipe for a fresh and zingy popsicle that will really refresh you! The mint gives a summer friendly coolness and the lime gives a citrus kick to make these super tasty.

With only three ingredients, these are not only healthy but cheap to make and super simple!

These lovely popsicles are dairy and gluten free and suitable for vegetarians.
Low-Carb Frozen Strawberry Whipped Cream Popsicles (Contains Dairy)

This has got to be my favorite popsicle recipe ever since I started eating keto! It is easy to make and a great way to use up berries that are starting to go a bit soft, but the creamy texture punctuated with actual fruit pieces is something really special. Of course, if you prefer a smooth texture, you can blend the ingredients first. Either way, these make a fantastic cooling treat for a warm day.

Creamy Keto Turmeric Popsicles [Dairy-Free]

Avocado is the best ingredient to use for popsicles as it gives them a real ice cream texture and of course they give that great color! The flavors of coconut and lime give these keto popsicles a tropical twist which would go down well in the warm weather, so it is a good idea to invest in some popsicle molds so you can make homemade popsicles for the family. You can even freeze this mix in a container to serve as ice cream instead!
