Creamy Strawberry Popsicles: A Healthy Treat

You are going to love this Creamy Strawberry Popsicles recipe, because it requires only 4 ingredients and 5 minutes of prep time to make. It is one that both you and your kids will be able to enjoy (guilt-free) all summer long! ♡

There is seriously nothing better than an ice-cold popsicle on a hot summer day. I used to always keep my freezer loaded with store-bought popsicles during the summertime. However, those usually contain a lot of sugar and additives. So I developed a nourishing, low-calorie, and refined sugar-free recipe for ice pops featuring one of my favorite fruits – strawberries!

I like to add milk to the popsicles, because it gives them a light creaminess without adding a ton of calories. Instead of granulated white sugar, I like to use honey, since it is a natural, unrefined sweetener. Finally, a splash of lemon juice enhances and pulls together all of the flavors in the recipe.

Keep reading to learn how to make your very own creamy strawberry popsicles. I can promise you that they are way better for you than anything you can find at the grocery store!

Strawberry Milk Popsicles Ingredients

To make strawberry milk popsicles at home, you will need:

• Strawberries: These are the star of the show. If you can, use fresh, locally-grown fruit whenever possible. Doing so will boost that all-important natural strawberry flavor.
• Milk: This gives a light creaminess to the popsicles. I usually use organic whole dairy milk, but you can use any kind of milk you like. Unsweetened coconut, almond, soy, hemp, or any other type of plant-based milk are all fabulous options.
• Honey: This adds unrefined, natural sweetness to the ice pops. I always like to use honey, but you can substitute it with maple syrup or agave nectar.
• Lemon juice: This brightens the flavor of the strawberries in this recipe. You can either use freshly-squeezed or bottled lemon juice. Alternatively, you can use lime juice if that’s what you have on hand.

Once your ingredients are lined up, you can start creating homemade strawberry ice pops.

How To Make Creamy Strawberry Popsicles

To make your own healthy strawberry popsicles, simply:

1. Blend the ingredients: Add the strawberries, milk, honey, and lemon juice to a blender. Blend until smooth.
2. Fill up the molds: Pour the mixture into your popsicle molds. (Most blenders have a pour spout, so you fill them up straight from your blender.)
3. Freeze until solid: Pop the filled molds into your freezer and freeze for a few hours, until completely solid.

That’s it! 🙂

Strawberry Milk Popsicles FAQs

Here are some common questions (with answers!) that you might have about making homemade creamy strawberry milk popsicles:

Can I use frozen strawberries instead of fresh?

Yes, when strawberries aren’t in season, frozen berries are the way to go! You can use either frozen whole or sliced strawberries. I prefer sliced strawberries because they thaw a bit quicker and are easier to blend, but either one will work. I recommend letting the frozen berries thaw a bit before blending, just to make blending a bit easier.

How long does it take for homemade popsicles to freeze?

I have found that homemade fruit popsicles need at least 4 hours to freeze completely. Don’t be tempted to dig in earlier than that, because even though the outside may look frozen, the inside might still be a bit juicy.

Can I substitute another fruit for the strawberries?

Yes! I make this popsicle recipe a lot using other fresh fruit. Mangoes, blueberries, raspberries, and peaches are all great substitutes for fresh strawberries and will taste delicious in this recipe.

What can I use to make popsicles?

I like to use plastic popsicle molds, because they give your ice pops that iconic popsicle shape. However, you can easily use paper Dixie cups instead, which are usually sold near the paper plates in grocery stores. Wrap the tops in foil and make a small hole to hold the sticks in place. You can buy popsicle sticks online or at the store in the arts and crafts section.

How do I unmold popsicles?

If you use plastic popsicle molds (which I do), be sure to hold the popsicle molds under warm running water for about 30 seconds before removing the popsicles. This loosens the frozen popsicles, so that they release easily when pulled out of the molds. If you use paper cups, simply cut the cups to unmold the ice pops.
