Strawberry Popsicles are cold, fruity, refreshing & tasty. Healthy 3 ingredient homemade frozen treats and a strawberry popsicle recipe that you won’t want to miss.

Having popsicles packed in my freezer is a good thing. It must be psychological but when I have something sweetish, cool, and refreshing in the freezer, that I can get at any time, my life is less stressful.

Maybe it really is! If I get a craving, there are those strawberry popsicles, right there.

I want summer to go on forever and thank goodness it’s on its way.

🍓 Fun strawberry facts

  • There are over 35 strawberry festivals in southern California in the month of May.
  • Its seeds are on the outside.
  • Strawberries are perennials which means they will fruit in your garden year after year.
  • They are believed to be an aphrodisiac by some people.
  • You can keep strawberries longer in the fridge if you don’t clean them.
  • Strawberries are not berries.
  • They contain more vitamin C than oranges.
  • Belgium has a strawberry museum.
  • Native Americans made cornbread with cornmeal and crushed strawberries.
  • They are the first fruit to ripen in the spring.

The picture above shows some of the strawberry popsicles still in their holders. They are so easy to use. The photo below is of the complete popsicle mold.

Zoku Classic Molds come with plastic sticks too – I just replaced them with wooden sticks.

For some reason, this amazon link is now being sold in sets of 6. Hopefully, this has changed by now. It looks like you can order Zoku molds singly from their homepage.

🥘 3 Ingredients

  • Frozen or fresh strawberries – the main ingredient with that perfect fruity flavor.
  • Organic unsweetened apple juice – adds the liquid for freezing and keeps with the healthy fruit theme.
  • Maple syrup – that healthy sweetener that we all love.

It is so funny but it seems like any season that I am in is my favorite. Don’t you love them all for some reason or another?

It is exciting to me that fall is just around the corner but I am also very good at living in the moment. I mean, who wants to miss something!

There is still a summer holiday to celebrate so hold on to your hats, cool off, and have a popsicle.

🔪 Instructions

  • Here ya go. A simple and wonderful strawberry popsicle recipe.
  • Put all of the ingredients in your blender. I use a Ninja Master Blender but there are many great blenders that will do the job.
  • Process until everything is mixed and blended well.
  • Pour into your popsicle molds and freeze at least 6 hours.
  • You will have some extra filling. Put it in the fridge and save to make more popsicles after you remove the first set. Or … drink it as a smoothie. Delicious!
  • The molds come with a plastic insert and that is great but I often use wooden sticks.
  • I actually stick a little piece of scotch tape on the lid and up along the side of the stick to hold up the handle at the length that I want.
  • To get them out of the mold I ran hot water on the sides first. They slide right out really easily.
  • After you take the frozen popsicles out of the molds – put them in a freezer bag.
  • Replace in the freezer.

    Can you tell me where you got your molds? Thanks!

    1. Ginny McMeans Avatar

      I ordered the Zoku Classic Pop Molds from Amazon.

    Could you use blended apples instead of just the apple juice. I’m trying to get my kids to eat as much fiber as possible.

    1. Ginny McMeans Avatar

      You could Katherine but I would add some liquid too for freezing more solidly.

    Thanks for including a scaling tool. I reduced it to 6, as I have that exact mold, and converted the quantities to grams. It came out perfect and the pops are super.
