4 Indulgent Popsicle Recipes Using Bone Broth

Let’s make bone broth popsicles, Bone Brothsicles. You heard that right! Instead of drinking a hot cup of bone broth during the summer, try making some delicious popsicles, which is basically a sweet fruit smoothie. You’ll reap all the benefits of bone broth but you’ll be enjoying it on a stick. You can make bone broth popsicles with just 3 ingredients and the combinations are endless. Grab a blender, popsicle molds, favorite seasonal fruit, flavor add-ins and your favorite bone broth. Blend, pour and freeze, it’s that simple. Check out our selection of ready made Bone Broths here or make your own bone broth by choosing from a selection of bones (chicken, beef, yak or bison) here

Tips to Make The Best Tasting Popsicles

  • Choose to use a bone broth with minimal flavor. We like using our pre-made chicken, beef or bison bone broth, as they are made with simple ingredients: grass fed & finished bones, apple cider vinegar and water. If using our pre-made bone broths, these are concentrated batches, so they can be diluted with water. We’ll sometimes do a 1:1 ratio with bone broth to water, as they are super gelatinous.
  • Now, if you're making your own bone broth, try keeping it simple with minimal herbs, spices and veggies so it doesn’t overpower these pops. Remove any fat from the top layer, as you just want the rich liquid bone broth. Try using our 5lb Beef Mixed Bones or Bison Knuckle Bones to create a delicious broth.
  • Taste, taste, taste!! Make sure to taste the mixture before pouring. Make adjustments if needed by adding more or less, especially when it comes to the flavor of your bone broth. Remember that the popsicles will taste less sweet once frozen!
  • To keep those cream-based popsicles from becoming too icy, try adding arrowroot powder or cornstarch into the mixture. It helps keep the texture nice and creamy.
  • When using a high speed blender, make sure to scrape the sides of the blender to ensure that all the ingredients are fully blended!
  • There are tons of fun popsicle molds on the market from silicone to stainless steel with reusable handles to wood sticks. Depending on your mold size you may make more or less popsicles.
  • When it’s time to remove popsicles, run mold under warm water for a few seconds to help loosen the popsicles.
  • Store individual popsicles in an airtight container in the freezer wrapped in wax paper or parchment paper. These will stay fresh in the freezer for about a month.

Get Creative Making Popsicles

  • For fruity popsicles, grab some seasonal fruit (raspberries, blueberries, strawberries), liquid of choice (water, coconut water &/or bone broth), and a sweetener.
  • For creamy popsicles, use dairy, plant-based milk or yogurt, such as whole milk, full fat coconut milk, almond milk, cashew milk or plain yogurt. However, using full-fat will create the creamiest popsicles.
  • For the sweetener, use maple syrup, raw honey, date syrup or softened dates.
  • Add additional flavors by using extracts, herbs and spices to create your favorite childhood popsicle.
  • After popsicles are removed from the mold, make them pop with flavor. Drizzle melted chocolate over popsicles or add favorite toppings, such as nuts, cacao nibs, freeze dried fruit or smashed cookie crumbs. Maybe just dip your homemade pops into melted chocolate for the best summer dessert.

Tools You May Need

  • Popsicle molds (silicone mold or stainless steel)
  • Wooden popsicle sticks (if your molds don't come with reusable handles)
  • High speed blender (or a bowl and a whisk)
  • Measuring cups & spoons
  • Sheet Tray
  • Parchment paper
