Equipment

  • Blender or Food Processor – To puree the strawberries and mix the ingredients smoothly.
  • Popsicle Molds – To shape and freeze the popsicles; silicone or plastic molds work best.
  • Popsicle Sticks – To hold the popsicles; wooden or reusable plastic sticks can be used.
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons – For accurate ingredient measurements.
  • Knife and Cutting Board – To hull and slice the strawberries.
  • Mixing Bowl (Optional) – If combining ingredients manually instead of blending.
  • Fine Mesh Strainer (Optional) – To remove strawberry seeds for a smoother texture.
  • Freezer – To freeze the popsicles until solid.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups fresh or frozen strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • ¼ cup honey, sugar, or agave syrup (adjust to taste)
  • ½ cup water, coconut water, or fruit juice (orange, apple, or lemonade)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional, for a tangy twist)
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt or coconut milk (optional, for a creamy texture)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for extra flavor)

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Strawberries
    Wash the strawberries thoroughly, remove the green tops, and slice them into smaller pieces for easier blending.
  • Blend the Ingredients
    In a blender, combine the strawberries, sweetener (honey, sugar, or agave syrup), water or fruit juice, and optional lemon juice or yogurt. Blend until smooth. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
  • Pour into Molds
    Carefully pour the blended mixture into popsicle molds, leaving a little space at the top for expansion. Insert popsicle sticks into the molds.
  • Freeze the Popsicles
    Place the molds in the freezer and let them set for at least 4-6 hours, or until completely frozen.
  • Unmold and Serve
    To remove the popsicles, run the molds under warm water for a few seconds, then gently pull them out. Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container in the freezer.

Notes

  • Use Fresh or Frozen Strawberries – Fresh strawberries provide the best flavor, but frozen ones work well too. Let frozen berries thaw slightly before blending.
  • Sweetener is Optional – If strawberries are naturally sweet, you can skip the sweetener or use a sugar-free alternative like stevia.
  • Adjust Consistency – If the mixture is too thick, add a little more juice, water, or coconut milk for a smoother blend.
  • Avoid Ice Crystals – Blending in a small amount of honey, agave syrup, or yogurt can help prevent a grainy, icy texture.
  • Make it Creamy – For a creamy popsicle, substitute some of the liquid with Greek yogurt, coconut milk, or blended banana.
  • Freeze Properly – Freeze for at least 4-6 hours, but overnight is best for a firm texture.
  • Storage Tip – To prevent freezer burn, wrap each popsicle in parchment paper and store them in an airtight container for up to 2-3 weeks.
