This easy-to-make seedy little popsicle, full of nutritious seeds from kiwis and dragon fruit, contains omega-3 fatty acids. Add white grape juice for a tasty treat!
Seedy Nutrients
Is there nutrition in all those seeds? Both dragon fruit and kiwi are full of black seeds that contain several nutrients, including the elusive omega-3 fatty acids of which no one seems to get enough. In addition to the nutrients, they taste delicious!
Add White Grape Juice to A Seedy Little Popsicle
These fruit popsicles are tasty and pretty. They are made with clear white grape juice, letting the kiwi color and the black seeds show. In addition to kiwi and dragonfruit, white grape juice tastes delicious made with other kinds of fruit popsicles. Click here for my Fruit Sicles recipe made with peaches and cherries.

How to Assemble a Seedy Little Popsicle
To assemble, cut the kiwis into thin, round slices. Use a small melon scoop to make dragon fruit balls, or cut it into small cubes. Alternate adding pieces of fruit to a popsicle mold. Fill it about two-thirds full. Add the white grape juice, leaving about a half inch at the top for the mixture to expand as it freezes.
Adding the Sticks
Add the lid with a popsicle stick to the top of the mold and press to close. If you do not have one or want to use old-fashioned wooden popsicle sticks, place the molds upright in the freeze. Let them freeze for about 30 minutes or until slushy and thickened. Place a piece of plastic wrap over the top of the mold and fold it down to adhere it to the sides of the mold. Take a sharp knife and punch a hole in the center of the plastic wrap. Insert the wooden popsicle stick, leaving enough of it outside the plastic so you have a handle to hold it for eating.
