I love homemade popsicles, especially ones made with seasonal fresh fruit chunks! As much as I love strawberries, sometimes it’s a push to finish them before they go bad. Seeing this recipe reminded me that there is a great way to enjoy fresh strawberries – or in this case, frozen strawberries with a boost of protein when combined with Greek Yogurt in this homemade popsicle. This is a great and refreshing snack, offering Vit C, fiber and protein. Enjoy!

ingredients
- 2 cups fresh ripe strawberries, cored and quartered
- 3 tablespoons agave syrup or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon fresh squeezed lemon juice
- 1/2 cup plain greek yogurt
directions
- In a medium sauce pan, simmer the strawberries and agave until very soft, about 5-7 minutes. Pour into blender or food processor, add lemon juice, and pulse a few times, until fruit is almost pureed but not liquified. The puree makes about over a cup. Chill in the refrigerator until cool.
- Stir greek yogurt into the chilled strawberry mixture until combined. Pour into popsicle molds and freeze for at least 8 hours or overnight. To remove, run some warm water over the outside of the mold until you can gently pull the popsicle out.
Total Time: 10-15 minutes
Yield: Makes 4-8, depending on the size of your popsicle molds
