“Summer is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces up,
snow is exhilarating; there is no such thing as bad weather,
only different kinds of good weather.”

Kombucha Berry Popsicles (Paleo, AIP, GAPS, Wahls)
- Total Time: 6 hours
- Yield: 6 servings
Ingredients
Units
Instructions
- Blend the berries and kombucha together in a blender, and then taste. Kombucha can taste anywhere from sweet-sour to very sour. Depending on your brew, you might find that no honey is needed. Otherwise, add a tablespoon at a time, until you hit your sweet spot.
- If you don't want berry seeds in your popsicles, strain the mixture before pouring into the molds. If you like the seeds, just pour straight from the blender. Either way, leave a little space at the top for them to expand in the freezer.
- Freeze a minimum of 6 hours.
- Run the mold under water to release the popsicle. Enjoy!
Notes
- I bought these bpa-free popsicle molds, but if you don't have any, you can pour the mixture into an ice cube tray, cover with plastic wrap, and then insert toothpicks for the popsicle stick. (The plastic wrap keeps the toothpicks pointing straight up while the cubes freeze.)

Do You Have My Books?
Right now I am on the Low-FODMAP diet and am not allowed to have honey or blackberries at this time. What could I use in their place? Right now the only sugar I can use is white sugar and am limited on fruit. Could I use strawberries?
I meant to say can I use blueberries instead of blackberries.
Hi Lola. You can definitely substitute any berries you like in this recipe.
These sound amazing and I have 5 gallons of kombucha brewing right now! I also have a facebook page ‘Tonya Wall (Twall on Wahls Protocol)’ documenting my journey to recovery using the Wahls Protocol. I will be linking to your page so others can share the kombucha love! Thanks so much!
5 gallons! That’s awesome. And I’m so happy to hear of your success with the Wahls Protocol. What condition are you healing?
These look fantastic, and I just so happen to have some kombucha in the fridge now… 🙂 Thanks so much for sharing this on Waste Not Want Not Wednesday, I’ve pinned it : )
featuring you this week!
Yay!
A popsicle we can feel good about! Thanks for sharing on Hearth & Soul Hop. 🙂
It is definitely a great day for a popsicle! Thank you for the recipes!
That looks delicious, I would love to try making these here in Hawaii
Mmm. Looks good- and healthy!! Thanks for sharing this. 🙂
You caught my eye with the Kombucha part — not like I need more ways to use the drink — we limit ourselves to a quart a day; otherwise we’d go through the entire gallon, especially in the hot weather. But I’ll talk to the Norwegian Artist and see if he wants to contribute his half, say, for this project.
I love it: “his half.” I promise it won’t be a sacrifice for him, because the popsicles are delicious and even more cooling on hot summer days.
These look really good. I am always looking for new natural popsicle recipes.
I just visited your blog and see you did a wonderful recipe roundup as well. Tis the season for yumminess!
What a great way to get the kiddos to ingest something healthy. Pinning to my dessert board or healthy eating hmmm maybe both?

Thanks for the invite! I’ll be happy to.
Love this idea! I was sipping some ginger lime water kefir the other day thinking about what a great Popsicle it would make. Now, you’ve inspired me to just do it! 😀
Do you think freezing the kefir or kombucha diminishes the health benefits at all?
Oh, that sounds delicious! Ginger is one of my favorite flavors. As for your other question, the only way to know for sure is to do a lab test on the popsicle, but here’s my guess: I don’t think it diminishes the health benefits. You can freeze kefir grains to store them for a few months and defrost them to use again, and they come right back to life. The freezing just puts them in hibernation. I would think the same would be true for the probiotics in the kombucha. Kombucha also has beneficial acids that are unaltered by heat/cold. What do you think?
I think you’re right. 🙂 There’s not a lot of information about this on the internet. I don’t think I’d want to freeze it for long periods of time, but a few days to a week in the freezer shouldn’t kill the nutrients off too badly.
Woow.. Must Try! Thank you for sharing 🙂
