There’s simply nothing better than cooling off on a hot day with a frosty glass of punch...or is there?! Today, we’re turning down the temp even more by transforming our favorite fruity beverage into something even colder and capable of neutralizing even the most searing summer day: Popsicles!

This vegan popsicle recipe for Pineapple Punch Pops uses real pineapple, orange, and strawberries for a healthy punch blend that tastes even better than it sounds. Plus, it’s a great way to minimize waste by turning extra fruit into delicious frozen treats the whole family will love. Enjoy!

There’s something about drinking fruit-infused water that just makes us feel sophisticated and summery! And of course, the best way to enjoy an infused beverage is with a glass bottle that lets your fruit additions shine! Today we are sharing a peach iced tea recipe that is sure to turn some heads—and impress some taste buds!—with its whole peach slices and refreshing sprigs of mint.

With all the best parts of a refreshing gin fizz, our Rosemary Pomegranate Cocktail is a versatile drink for any occasion. Dress it up for the holidays by garnishing with optional rosemary sprigs and pomegranate arils, or celebrate the warmer months by adding a lemon slice to create a fizzy summer pick-me-up!

Those who follow our blog know we will never turn down a healthy dose of kale! If you’re familiar with some of our other ZOKU recipes, you’ll remember when we turned kale into a delicious slushy — yum! This time, we’ll show you how to turn this leafy green into a Kale Pineapple Smoothie using another nutrient-rich mix of healthy foods that taste good together. Let’s go!

Smoothies are a great way to recover from a workout or fuel up for a productive morning. While many recipes rely on yogurt for a protein boost, sometimes it’s nice to have a few non-dairy smoothie recipes in your arsenal, too!

Today we’ll show you how to make an Orange Banana Smoothie without yogurt! Instead, you’ll add in a tablespoon of chia seeds for a healthy dose of protein. Time to get blending!

There is nothing quite like the taste of fresh watermelon in the summer! This Watermelon Granita recipe takes everything that is marvelous about the celebrated seasonal fruit and somehow makes it even sweeter, tastier, and...frozen-er?

What is a granita, you ask? Bustle describes it as “sort of like sorbet, but with a rougher texture.” It’s an Italian favorite often enjoyed with breakfast, so if you’re looking for a deliciously fruity way to start your morning — this might be it!

Summer is HERE and we couldn’t be more excited to share one of our favorite vegan popsicle recipes: Fruity Fish Pops! These healthy homemade popsicles call for just two ingredients (don’t worry, neither ingredient is fish!), making them the perfect treat to quickly prepare the night before an activity-filled summer day or backyard picnic!

Looking for an easy non-dairy ice cream recipe to add to your frozen treat repertoire? Meet our Chocolate Chip Coconut Milk Ice Cream! This deliciously crunchy vegan ice cream recipe uses a coconut milk base for a rich taste and creamy texture you’ll instantly love. Enjoy!

Perhaps most closely associated with the Kentucky Derby (nearly 120,000 Mint Juleps are served at the races each year), the Mint Julep is a classic cocktail that screams sophisticated springtime relaxation. And as luck would have it, “sophisticated springtime relaxation” is one of our favorite phrases.

There’s another word we love too, though: Frozen! True to form, our recipe for Mint Julep Popsicles takes all your favorite Mint Julep ingredients and transforms them into a deliciously icy treat. Enjoy!

If you haven’t figured it out by now, two of our favorite adjectives are “boozy” and “frozen”. So it should come as no surprise that this delightful pair of descriptors applies to today’s delicious vodka slush. Our Homemade Raspberry Lemonade Vodka Slush recipe is the perfect alcoholic dessert for a poolside cocktail party or an evening spent by the campfire with friends. Enjoy!

There is just something about the tangy sweetness of cranberry and orange that we simply can’t get enough of—and today’s ZOKU slush recipe is just another excuse for us to enjoy more of the delightful flavor combo! You in?

To create our Frozen Cranberry Orange Smoothie at home, all you’ll need is some OJ, fresh cranberries, and a splash of agave nectar. It’s an easy frozen treat that’s perfect for the holidays or as a pick-me-up treat during the warmer months. Happy sipping!

If you’re like us, you have fond summer memories of biking to your local gas station for late night cherry slushies. It was practically a right of passage! And while those evening excursions could be fun, sometimes you were met with devastating news upon arrival: the slushy machine was broken!

These days, thanks to ZOKU’s Slush & Shake Maker, having your plans for summer slurping thwarted by a broken machine is a thing of the past. In fact, you won’t even need to grab your bike—because you can make your own cherry slushy at home in just a few minutes! Our Cherry Slushy recipe has all the nostalgia of your childhood favorites, plus a hint of lime and mint for an updated flavor you’ll love.
