Tropical Citrus Recharge Pops

Cool down. Rehydrate. Replenish.

Summer heat has a way of sneaking up on us, and so does dehydration. These Tropical Citrus Recharge Pops are one of my new favorite ways to stay cool and support mineral balance at the same time. They’re light, refreshing, and filled with natural sources of potassium and vitamin C (two things our bodies need a lot of)!

Why Clean Electrolytes

I made these with real fruit and Mt. Capra’s Clean Electrolytes. It’s one of the cleanest ways to support hydration, without all the added sugar, artificial flavors, or synthetic ingredients found in most electrolyte drinks or packets.

I’ve looked far and wide for mineral-rich supplements (AKA “electrolytes”) that I actually feel good about using and recommending. Mt. Capra uses real, wholefood-based ingredients that support the body without adding more stress or burden. The Clean Electrolytes blend is gentle, effective, and super easy to incorporate into everyday life, especially if you’re working to restore mineral balance after stress, illness, or just a busy, sweaty day.

Electrolytes like potassium, sodium, and magnesium play a big role in hydration, energy, and even things like muscle function and heartbeat regulation. And potassium? Most of us aren’t getting enough. Yet it’s crucial for balancing sodium levels and preventing things like bloating, fatigue, and blood pressure imbalances.

What I love most is how versatile this powder is - just toss it into water, smoothies, shakes, coffee, or a simple recipe like this, and you’re good to go.

Recipe: Tropical Citrus Recharge Pops

Makes: ~10 mini popsicles (1.2 oz each) or 4 standard popsicles (3 oz each)
Time: Just a few minutes to make, plus freeze time

This is a fun recipe to make with your kids or grandkids - and a great opportunity to sneak in a quick health lesson about how important minerals are for the body!

Ingredients:

1 cup fresh pineapple juice
½ cup orange juice (fresh-squeezed - about 2 large oranges - or store-bought, not from concentrate)
Juice of ½ lemon
1 tbsp Mt. Capra's Clean Electrolytes
Sweetener to taste (optional)
Optional: 1 tsp grated ginger or a dash of cayenne for a tropical “kick”

Instructions:

Stir or blend all ingredients. Taste test the mixture to see if you want to add any natural sweetener.
Pour into molds and freeze for 4–6 hours.
Enjoy a tart and tangy mineral boost!

💡 Tips & Variations:

Try unsweetened coconut water instead of pineapple juice for a lighter version that’s even higher in potassium.
Add creaminess with some full-fat coconut milk, yogurt, or kefir.
Omit the sweetener if your popsicle mixture is sweet enough, especially for little ones who may be sensitive to sugar!
Include ginger or cayenne for extra flavor and a natural “zing.” I used 1 tsp of grated ginger, and it added an amazing extra pop of flavor!
Double or triple the recipe if you want to make a larger batch. I made extra so we could have healthy, mineral-rich popsicles ready to be eaten all throughout the hot summer.
Add an extra tablespoon of Clean Electrolytes for extra minerals!

Why Minerals Matter

Mineral imbalances can show up in sneaky ways: low energy, poor sleep, headaches, brain fog, or even cravings. In my work, I often see people struggling with fatigue or burnout who are simply depleted in minerals, especially after stress, illness, or intense exercise.

Hydration isn’t just about water. It’s about getting water into your cells, and for that, you need minerals, especially potassium. Recipes like this are a fun and simple way to bring those levels back up without overthinking it!

How to Store:

These pops will keep well in the freezer for up to a month, possibly longer if stored in an airtight, freezer-safe container. I wrapped mine in unbleached parchment paper first to prevent sticking, then placed them in a freezer-safe container.

I’ve been loving having these on hand for my family - they’re the perfect quick refresher on a hot afternoon or whenever we’re feeling a little depleted!
