Strawberry Lime popsicles
These paleo popsicles are made with 4 simple ingredients: water, honey, lime, and, you guessed it, strawberries. That’s it! You can whip up these strawberry lime popsicles in just a few minutes and then get them into the freezer to freeze. I love making homemade strawberry popsicles because these are made with simple whole food ingredients that are nourishing to your body.
Equipment
- Blender or food processor
Ingredients
- 1 ½ Cup whole strawberries frozen or fresh
- ¾ Cup water
- ¼ Cup Honey
- ¼ Cup Lime juice 2-3 limes
Instructions
- Start by taking the Limes and juicing them and set aside.
- In a large bowl add ½ cup of water and the honey and mix them together in a bowl.
- Next take the strawberries and add them to a blender or food processor with the lime juice and about ¼ cup of water.
- Puree the lime and strawberries in a blender or food processor until smooth. If the strawberries are not blending, add more water.
- Add the strawberry lime puree to the honey and water mix. Stir everything together until well incorporated.
- Add the mixture to popsicle molds and freeze for 4-8 hours. It may take more or less time depending on the size of your popsicles and if you use fresh or frozen strawberries.
Notes
Do I need popsicle molds?
Popsicle molds can be super helpful for making this recipe and if you plan on making your own popsicles during the summer, then popsicle molds are a great kitchen tool to have around. You can get them off amazon pretty inexpensively. This 6 piece is similar to what I have. This 10 part mold is also a great option if you are looking for one that has more popsicles. If you don’t have popsicle molds you can always use small plastic cups with popsicle sticks!
Can I use fresh strawberries?
You can definitely use fresh strawberries in this recipe! Either fresh or frozen work great. I prefer the frozen strawberries because the popsicles will freeze faster if they are made with frozen strawberries.
Can I use already squeezed lime juice?
You can also use lime juice that is already squeezed. I prefer to use fresh because there are less preservatives, but again if that is what you have available, it will work just fine.
