Description

These refreshing Strawberry Lemonade Popsicles combine the natural sweetness of fresh strawberries with the bright tanginess of lemon juice, sweetened lightly with honey or agave. Perfect for a hot day, these easy-to-make frozen treats are blended smooth and frozen to create a healthy, delicious dessert or snack that kids and adults alike will love.


Ingredients

Strawberry Lemonade Mixture

  • 3 1/2 cups fresh or frozen strawberries (thawed, if frozen)
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (from 2 lemons)
  • 2-3 tablespoons honey or agave (adjust, to taste)
  • 3/4 cup water


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Strawberry Lemonade Mixture: Wash and hull fresh strawberries if using fresh. If using frozen, allow them to thaw slightly for easier blending.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a blender, add the strawberries, fresh lemon juice, honey or agave, and water.
  3. Blend: Puree the mixture until completely smooth and there are no large strawberry chunks remaining.
  4. Adjust Sweetness: Taste the blended mixture and add more honey or lemon juice as desired to suit your preference; blend again briefly if additions are made.
  5. Fill the Popsicle Molds: Using a funnel, carefully pour the mixture into your popsicle molds, filling each mold evenly but leaving a small gap at the top for expansion.
  6. Insert Sticks: Place the lids on the molds and insert popsicle sticks through the designated slots.
  7. Freeze: Place the molds upright in the freezer and allow the popsicles to freeze solid for 3 to 4 hours.
  8. Enjoy: Once frozen, remove the popsicles from the molds by running warm water over the outside briefly if needed, then enjoy your refreshing strawberry lemonade popsicles.

Notes

  • Adjust sweetness according to your taste preference; more or less honey/agave can be used.
  • If you don’t have popsicle molds, use small cups and wooden sticks instead.
  • For a thicker popsicle, reduce the water slightly or add more strawberries.
  • Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor; bottled lemon juice may alter the taste.
  • To avoid the popsicles sticking to the mold, briefly dip the mold in warm water before removing the popsicles.
