How to Make Strawberry Creamsicles at Home<\/h2>\n

First we start out with beautiful red strawberries.\u00a0 The great thing about this recipe is that you can use strawberries that might be on their way out.\u00a0 If they are too mushy to eat, use them to make these popsicles!<\/p>\n

Rinse well, and cut the greens off.<\/p>\n

Blend.\u00a0 I didn\u2019t add water or juice, or anything.\u00a0 I love my Blendtec for that reason.\u00a0 It really does blend anything.\u00a0 If your blender isn\u2019t quite as powerful, you could add a little water\/juice if you want.\u00a0 I know of\u00a0some strawberry popsicle recipes direct you to just mash the strawberries, but my kids are weary of \u2018chunks\u2019 and so I like to make these popsicles to be smooth.<\/p>\n

The strawberries blend into a beautiful puree which you can add right to your popsicle molds. \u00a0Spoon some of the puree into the bottom of the mold, and then alternate with yogurt and puree until the mold is full. \u00a0This will give you the pretty swirled look.<\/p>\n

Do I Need to Add Sugar to My Strawberry Popsicles?<\/h2>\n

My popsicle recipe doesn\u2019t call for any sugar. I know that some people feel like they need to add sugar in order to lower the freezing point and so the popsicle has a softer \u2018bite\u2019. That is totally fine but for me I feel like it is more important to help train my kids tastebuds to like the natural flavors of food without the extra sugar all of the time. <\/p>\n

Why Are These Popsicles Healthy? <\/h2>\n

These strawberry popsicles offer your kids a serving of fruit and protein as well as fiber and calcium! Store bought popsicles are basically sugar and water and won\u2019t keep you full for 5 minutes.\u00a0 These creamsicles however definitely have substance and are actually a balanced snack.<\/p>\n
