• 3½ cups fresh or thawed frozen strawberries
• ¼ cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
• 2–3 tablespoons honey or agave syrup, to taste

Directions

1. I combine strawberries, lemon juice, honey (or agave), and water in a blender.

3. I pour the mixture into popsicle molds, using a funnel for easy filling if necessary.

4. I insert the popsicle sticks and place the molds in the freezer for 3–4 hours until fully set.

5. When I’m ready to serve, I run warm water over the molds for a few seconds to release the popsicles.

FAQs

Can I use frozen strawberries?

Yes, I use frozen strawberries that have been thawed—they blend up beautifully and make the recipe super convenient.

What can I use instead of honey?

I substitute agave syrup or maple syrup for a different kind of natural sweetness.

What if I don’t have popsicle molds?

I use small paper cups and insert wooden sticks once the mixture has partially frozen for an hour.

Can I make them less tart?

I just reduce the lemon juice a bit and increase the sweetener to mellow out the tang.

How do I make them extra smooth?

I strain the blended mixture through a fine mesh sieve before pouring into molds if I want them seedless.
