Hint: For an extra burst of citrus flavor, add a little lemon zest before blending! It enhances the tanginess and makes the popsicles even more refreshing.

Substitutions & Variations

If you don’t have agave nectar, swap it for honey, maple syrup, or simple syrup. You can also reduce the sweetener if your strawberries are extra ripe.

Add More Fruit by mixing in raspberries, blueberries, or even peaches for a fun twist!

For an adults-only treat, add a splash of vodka or limoncello before freezing.

💭Crucial Success Tips

Use ripe strawberries – The sweeter they are, the better your popsicles will taste!

Blend until super smooth for the best texture, make sure there are no chunks left in the mixture.

Taste before freezing – If you like your popsicles sweeter, add a little more agave nectar before pouring them into molds.

Freeze completely – Let them freeze for at least 6 hours, or overnight for best results

FAQ

Can I use frozen strawberries instead of fresh?

Yes! Just let them thaw slightly before blending, or add a little extra water to help the blender process them.

What if I don’t have popsicle molds?

You can use small paper cups and wooden sticks instead! Just cover the cups with foil and poke the stick through the center.

Are these popsicles vegan?

Yes! Since they’re made with fresh fruit and agave nectar, they’re completely plant-based.
