How to Make Strawberry Lemonade Popsicles

Add the diced strawberries to a small bowl.
Sprinkle the sugar over the strawberries and gently mix to combine.
Lightly mash a few of the strawberries to release their juices, but leave some chunks for texture. Let the mixture sit for 15 minutes or until the juices start to form.
Divide the strawberry mixture evenly among your popsicle molds.
Fill each mold with Simply Lemonade, leaving a small amount of space at the top.
Insert popsicle sticks and place the molds in the freezer. Let them freeze until solid, about 4-6 hours.
Optional: To evenly distribute the strawberry pieces, give the mixture a gentle stir while it begins to freeze.

How to Customize This Strawberry Lemonade Popsicles for Your Diet

Lower sugar: Skip the sugar and rely on the natural sweetness of ripe strawberries.
Higher protein: Blend the lemonade with a scoop of unflavored or strawberry-flavored protein powder before pouring it into the molds.

Nut-free: This recipe is naturally nut-free without any modifications needed.

Our Team’s Tips for the Best Strawberry Lemonade Popsicles

Choose ripe strawberries: Ripe, in-season strawberries will give you the sweetest, most flavorful popsicles.
Keep it chunky: Lightly mashing the strawberries ensures the popsicles have tiny bursts of fruit in every bite without becoming mushy.
Freeze in stages: For perfectly distributed strawberries, freeze the popsicles for 30 minutes before inserting the sticks and giving them a gentle mix.
Storage tips: Once frozen, remove the popsicles from the molds and store them in an airtight container with parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking.
Get creative: Add fresh mint leaves or a sprinkle of chia seeds for an extra health boost and visual appeal.
