Every Wednesday, I share a Good Stuff Simple Swap—one easy change that helps clean up your everyday eats without overhauling your whole pantry. You can find all of my previous swaps here!
We all grew up loving those classic freezie pops-brightly colored, icy cold, and the highlight of a hot summer afternoon. But if you’ve taken a look at the back of those giant plastic bags lately, you might have noticed a lot of “junk” that doesn’t actually need to be there.
The good news? There are some incredible brands making “Good Stuff” freezie pops that bring the same frozen treat vibes with simpler, feel-good ingredients.
Typical Freezie Pop Ingredients (The “Before”):
WATER, HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP, CITRIC ACID, NATURAL AND ARTIFICIAL FLAVORING, ARTIFICIAL COLORING (MAY CONTAIN: BLUE 1, RED 40, YELLOW 5, YELLOW 6), GUM ACACIA, POTASSIUM SORBATE, SODIUM BENZOATE.
Our Favorite “Good Stuff” Freezer Pops
If you’re looking to stock your freezer with the good stuff, here are the brands my family reaches for. They are still frozen, still fun, and just plain better.
DeeBee’s Organics SuperFruit Freezie Pops
These are a staple in our house. They are shelf-stable (you freeze them at home!), certified organic, and have no added sugar. They come in delicious tropical and classic fruit flavors.
Sweet Nothings Superfood Freezies
If you want something a bit more substantial, these are made with organic fruits, veggies, and seeds. They have a slightly creamier “smoothie” texture that kids absolutely love.
JonnyPops Organic Rainbow Fruit Stacks
These are famous for their “rainbow” layers, but unlike the ones from our childhood, these use nothing artificial. They are made in a peanut-free facility and even have a “kind deed” printed on every stick!
Common Questions About Healthy Freezie Pops
Are these freezie pops safe for school?
Most of the “Good Stuff” brands listed above, like DeeBee’s and JonnyPops, are top-allergen free and made in peanut-free facilities, making them a great choice for school lunches or class parties. Always check the individual label to be sure!
Can I make these at home?
Absolutely! Making your own is the ultimate “Good Stuff” hack. Simply blend your favorite fruit with a little coconut water or 100% fruit juice, pour into reusable silicone molds, and freeze. It’s a great way to use up overripe berries!
Where can I find these in-store?
You can usually find these in the natural food aisle or the freezer section of stores like Target, Whole Foods, and Sprouts. Some, like DeeBee’s, are even available on Amazon or Thrive Market.
The Bottom Line
Swapping your summer treats doesn’t mean giving up the fun. By choosing pops made with real fruit and no synthetic dyes, you’re giving your family the “Good Stuff” without any of the extra junk.
