Strawberry Basil Popsicles at Home

When I asked her for the recipe, I was particularly much surprised to find out that these only had 3 ingredients in them: Strawberries, Basil, and Sugar. The sugar isn’t necessarily essential if you’re wanting these to be extra healthy. I also wish that I had tried substituting the sugar with honey or agave. Next time I’ll try that and report back!

I was also particularly surprised at the minimal effort that these take to make.

We start out by putting fresh strawberries and basil from the garden into a food processor.

And then they were ready for the freezer!

Strawberry Basil Popsicles
Ingredients:
~30 strawberries
2 tablespoons of sugar (could try replacing this with honey)
~6 basil leaves

Directions:
1) After cutting the stems off of your strawberries, place them in a food processor or blender along with your basil and sugar.
2) Process until your mixture has reached your desired consistency. I made mine extra smooth. Test to make sure you don’t want anymore sugar or basil and then adjust accordingly.
3) Pour mixture into popsicle molds. Mine made about 7 popsicles.
4) Freeze and then EAT!

These make the dependable post summer workout treat to cool you down. If you don’t believe me, I have attached a collage of post workout sweat greasy pictures of myself to prove it.
