Who doesn’t love a fresh-fruit frozen treat once the warm weather sets in? And especially since strawberries are in abundance in my area I’m finding all kinds of good uses for them!
I got inspired the other day when I was at Bed Bath & Beyond and they had these BPA-free popsickle holders by the checkout counter. They are festive and even have a little straw to sip from once the popsickle starts to melt and so messes are kept at a minimum.
Simple as all get out to make here’s what I did:
- 2 cups buttermilk or coconut milk (yogurt or Amasai would be great as well!)
- 2 cups whole de-stemmed strawberries
- 1/4 cup honey or more to taste
Place all the ingredients in a blender and blend on high for about 1-2 minutes. Experiment and try other fruits and liquids and just have fun with the kids in the kitchen! Pour nearly to the top of the popsickle holder and snap on the top and place in freezer overnight. Any leftover liquid, drink it! You’ll need to run some hot water over the popsickle you’re trying to release for about one minute before you can pull it out and enjoy it!
Tell me about some of your fave popsickle combinations!
Sounds great, Shane! Going to try these for the kids. First will check out those holders at BB&B. Thanks and miss you! Jenny C. In VA
You’ll be hooked my friend and I miss you too!!!
Strawberry pops look so yummy! Happy Mama’s Day to you! Lucy is a lucky girl :-) Hugs, Amy
Thanks Miss. Amy and I pray you had a wonderful Mama’s Day too!
I’m going to let the kids make these this afternoon after school!! Can’t wait to try one myself!
This is totally fun for the kids…anything to get them in the game of food!
Thank you Shane! I am overwhelmed (happily!!!) with strawberries from my garden and I had completely forgotten I had popsicle molds! I bet strawberry banana would be nice and raspberry/blueberry when they appear. So yum!
I love it!I hope you don’t mind me sharing this on my FB page. I own a craft competition blog and this week’s challenge is SUmmer frozen treats and Push Up Pops. Come link this up starting Wednesday night. You just might win!
