Few things say summer like fresh cantaloupe, but with the hot summer we’re having I need something a bit cooler, like these Cantaloupe Ice Pops! They give you all the fresh cantaloupe flavor in the form of a delicious ice pop that’ll help you beat the heat.
Cantaloupe Ice Pops | Keto Popsicles
Don’t be fooled by how sweet these Cantaloupe Ice Pops are. They’re low carb, so they’re guilt-free if you’re living a keto lifestyle. People typically associate sweets with carbs, but that doesn’t have to be the case. All you have to do is substitute the high carb ingredients with something low carb, and voila, you have a low carb treat every bit as good as the original!
But I did one more thing, which is to reduce the overall cantaloupe in this recipe. It’s unlikely that you can eat a cup or two of cantaloupe and still stay in ketosis–and if you are one of the lucky ones that can, don’t tell me because I don’t want to be jealous of you!
What Makes TheseKetoPopsicles So Great?
- Low Carb . Only 4 net carbs per serving.
- Easy. A simple mix, pour and freeze recipe.
- Cooling. The perfect thing to cool down with.
- Sweet. The natural sweetness from the fruit makes this the perfect sweet treat.
- Delicious. Who doesn’t love a great low carb popsicle or ice cream treat? These are some of the best keto popsicles I’ve ever tried.
Can You Eat Popsicles On A Keto Diet?
Absolutely. However, there are a couple of things you’ll want to keep an eye out for:
- Sugar-free. Many of the popsicles you buy at the store are filled with sugar. Try to avoid those.
- Low Carb. Read the nutrition label. Not all popsicles are created equal for a keto diet.
- Natural Ingredients. The more unnatural ingredients you eat, the more likely your body is going to be kicked out of ketosis.
- Moderation. Like with most foods, moderation is key. While a lot of your favorite foods can be Keto in moderation, eating too much of a good thing will likely stall your weight loss progress.
Are Popsicles Better Than Ice Cream?
When it comes to calories and carbs, popsicles are certainly better for you. However, it depends on the ingredients. In most cases, keto popsicles have a lower sugar content per serving than low carb ice cream . And less sugar typically means fewer carbs, which is great for those of us living a keto lifestyle.
This keto popsicle recipe , however, uses Truvia , a low carb sugar substitute. That, along with the lower concentration of cantaloupe per ice pop, makes these a delicious treat you can enjoy without worrying about ruining your figure.

How To Make Cantaloupe Ice Pops
To Make Creamy Keto Popsicles:
- Place. Put the ingredients into a blender and blend until well incorporated.
- Pour. Dump the mixture into 10 popsicle molds and freeze for 6-8 hours.
- Enjoy. The popsicles will have a grainer, crunchier texture, but you won’t care because it will still taste really fresh and summery.
To Make Ice Milk:
- Dump. Place mixture into an ice cream machine and churn for about 20-30 minutes.
- Freeze. You will have a fairly soft mixture. Pour into a freezer container, cover, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Serve. When ready to eat, microwave on low for 30 seconds, or place in a bowl of warm water for a minute to soften.
- Enjoy. The ice milk will have a lovely, crumbly, snow-like texture.

Are Mushrooms Good On Keto?
Not only are they delicious, high in fiber, and a source of protein, mushrooms are also incredibly low in calories and carbohydrates.
If you’re struggling to find a healthy and yummy addition to your daily keto meal rotation, mushrooms are a perfect choice.
How Many Carbs Are In Mushrooms?
Mushrooms are low in carbs, but just HOW LOW are they in carbs? If you’re familiar with a keto lifestyle , you’re probably aware that tracking macros can be essential to your success, especially if you’ve hit a weight loss plateau .
Mushrooms average 3.3g of total carbs per serving . If you choose to track net carbs instead of total carbs, mushrooms average 2.3g of net carbs per serving .
What Are The Best Mushrooms To Air Fry?
As a mushroom lover, I will tell you that I try not to play favorites with flavor. Each type of mushroom adds something different and delicious to a dish.
For air frying, however, I prefer Baby Bella mushrooms or button mushrooms. They hold up to the higher temperatures without drying out and they’re one of the more mild-flavored mushrooms.
If you’re cooking for picky eaters or just want this to be a universal pairing for your main course, they are the best choice for mushrooms to air fry.
Ingredients You’ll Need
With less than five ingredients, you can have a tasty low carb side dish. Here’s what you’ll need to have in your kitchen before you get started:
- Baby Bella Mushrooms
- Olive Oil
- Salt
- Pepper
- Garlic
How To Cook Mushrooms In Your Air Fryer
Who doesn’t love a super simple air fryer recipe that is perfect for a busy weeknight and can be made in under 30 minutes?
These air fryer mushrooms fit that bill perfectly. Here’s how to make them:
- Thoroughly wash and dry your mushrooms
- Cut mushrooms in half vertically
- In a mixing bowl, toss the halved mushrooms in olive oil, salt, pepper, and minced garlic
- Place seasoned mushrooms into your air fryer basket
- Cook at 375F for 12 minutes, shaking your air fryer basket halfway through to prevent sticking and uneven cooking.
Can You Make This Keto Mushrooms Recipe In The Oven?
If you’re still getting up the nerve to try out your new air fryer, or simply haven’t picked up one of your own yet, you can still make this easy mushroom recipe in your oven. Here’s how:
- Preheat your oven to 400F
- Wash and dry mushrooms
- Cut them in half or in quarters
- In a mixing bowl, toss the halved mushrooms in olive oil, salt, pepper, and minced garlic
- Place the seasoned mushrooms on a baking sheet
- Bake in the oven for 15 minutes
- Carefully remove any moisture that may have accumulated in the bottom of your baking sheet
- Gently shake mushrooms in the baking sheet and return to the oven
- Bake for an additional 20 minutes
Tips And Tricks
- Change it up. Feel free to swap out the Baby Bella mushrooms with your favorite type of mushroom or whatever you happen to have in your fridge.
- Marinate. After you have washed and dried your mushrooms, toss in teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, or even Worcestershire sauce and marinate for 15 minutes for an extra punch of flavor.
- Make them consistent. Whichever way you choose to cut (or not cut) your mushrooms before tossing them in your air fryer, make sure they are uniform in size. This will help them cook evenly.
Can I Cook Frozen Mushrooms In The Air Fryer?
You absolutely can! If you don’t have access to fresh mushrooms, or just want to skip the extra prep, just toss them in the air fryer at 375F for about 15 minutes.
Can You Air Fry Mushrooms To Dry Them?
Technically, yes. However, I wouldn’t recommend it. While most air fryers aren’t overwhelmingly loud, you can still hear them.
Considering the time to dehydrate mushrooms in an air fryer can be up to 8 hours, I would reach for an actual dehydrator to get the job done.
If you’re wanting to give it a try, cut your mushrooms into thin slices and toss them in the air fryer at 200F for 6-8 hours.
What Do You Eat With Mushrooms?
I absolutely adore mushrooms (especially when they’re made in the air fryer) because of how versatile they are and how well they round out a meal.
Pair these easy air fried mushrooms with one of these other tasty dishes:
- Teriyaki Chicken Bowl
- Air Fryer Chicken Legs
- Chicken Cordon Bleu
- Instant Pot Brisket
- Keto Sausage and Broccoli
How Long Do They Last?
Air fryer mushrooms are great for meal prep because they are easy to make, pair well with many dishes, are low carb, and reheat well.
For the best results, try to enjoy your air fryer mushrooms withing 3-5 days of preparing them.
