Nothing says summer quite like popsicles. We’ve created 3 Delicious NingXia Red Popsicle recipes that will satisfy your sweet tooth, and help cool you off after some fun in the sun. Mix up a batch of these frozen treats, and keep the kids happy (and healthy) all summer long.
The thought of an ice cold popsicle melting down my hand makes me slightly nostalgic for my childhood, while the former teacher in me can’t help but make plans for reusing all those precious popsicle sticks. Just me?
Most store-bought popsicles are full of artificial flavors, sugar, food dye (yikes), and who knows what else. Unfortunately any naturally-branded popsicles I’ve found are super expensive. During the summer months we keep our freezer stocked with homemade NingXia Red Popsicles.
NingXia Red is a beverage unique to Young Living. It is packed full of antioxidants. It helps energize the body, and may contribute to overall wellness. The base of NingXia Red is wolfberries. It also contains plum, aronia, cherry, blueberry, and pomegranate juices and extracts. Yum!
I like to start my day with a shot or two of NingXia mixed with a Vitality oil (try it with tangerine)! I want all members of my family to experience the benefits of NingXia Red, so sometimes I have to get creative. We have been enjoying these NingXia Red Gummies for awhile now. Popsicles are so easy to make, and the possibilities are endless.

Recipe Substitutions and Tips
- You can substitute water for the juice in any of these recipes. NingXia Red is potent on its own. You only need about 1 oz or less per popsicle.
- Citrus oils can break down plastic over time. We tested this recipe in plastic, BPA free popsicle molds and consumed them immediately. If you plan on making a large quantity to use over a period of time, a silicone mold like this one is recommended.
- We didn’t feel like this recipe needed any sugar or sweetener. It is plenty sweet! If you prefer a sweeter popsicle you could add a tablespoon of Agave or a few drops of Stevia.
