Of the many snacks served in my home, summertime popsicles might be the most requested.
There’s nothing better than cooling off on a hot day with a tasty frozen treat! Also, making the popsicles is easy and a great way to involve children.
These recipes don’t require many ingredients and popsicle molds can be easily found online or in many stores. I prefer the silicon molds because they make popsicle removal easiest.
These are two of my go-to popsicle recipes for the summer:
Summer Popsicle Recipes
Red, White, & Blue Popsicles
These are perfect for the 4th of July!
Ingredients:
- ½ lb fresh strawberries, with the tops removed
- 1-2 cups vanilla yogurt (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1-2 cups fresh blueberries
- 2 tsp maple syrup
*Please note: the exact amounts might vary, depending on the size of your popsicles.
Instructions:
- Puree strawberries in a blender with 1 tsp maple syrup. Pour the strawberry puree into the base of the popsicle mold, which should fill about ⅓ of the mold and freeze for about 30 minutes.
- Next add the vanilla yogurt over the strawberries so it spans the middle third of the mold. Freeze for 30 minutes.
- The final layer consists of pureed blueberries with 1 tsp maple syrup over the top of the popsicle mold. Once all the molds are filled, stick in the freezer for another 3-4 hours so everything is fully frozen, then enjoy!
