Strawberry Chia Popsicles | Recipe

The summer season is upon us. For some, it’s already in full swing.

For me, this means in about 5 degrees I will completely lose interest in solid foods and survive on smoothies and popsicles. Last year, I decided to combine my summer habits and explore some fun popsicle combinations that are nutritious and not full of sugar like the store-bought pops.

The first thing I did was get myself a classic popsicle mold, and then got familiar with some popsicle recipes. The most important thing I learned was that fruit loses its sweetness when it freezes, which can lead to some bland or bitter blends if sweetener isn’t added. To keep my pops nutritious, I add Stevia or maple syrup, instead of white sugar. Not necessary, especially during bathing suit season.

Adding some more sweet is the only secret to turning any smoothie into a frozen treat. Of course, you'll need some supplies. I love the Norpro Frozen Ice Pop Maker from Amazon and stocked up on some sticks to last the whole, hot summer. This is the first recipe of Summer 2017 -- stay tuned for more sticked treats!

Strawberry Chia Popsicles

makes 10 popsicles

  • 3 cups of almond milk (extra points if it’s homemade!)
  • 6-8 fresh strawberries
  • 4-5 drops of Stevia
  • 3/4 cup of chia seeds

Blend almond milk, strawberries, and Stevia until smooth.

Add about 1 tbsp of chia seeds to each popsicle mold. Pour strawberry milk mixture into each mold. Leave the molds in the fridge for a couple hours so the chias get big and puffy.

Remove from fridge, add sticks to the mold, and place in freezer.
