Strawberries are hands-down one of my all-time favorite fruits, so when I had the chance to transform them into flavor-packed, summer-ready popsicles, I couldn't contain my excitement.

There's something so refreshing about the natural sweetness of strawberries, especially when they’re the star of a chilled treat like this. Now that our local farmers market is back in full swing for the season, I’ve been picking up the freshest, juiciest strawberries, and let me tell you—they’re absolutely bursting with flavor.

If you’re looking for the best, most flavorful strawberries around, your local farmers market is the place to be. The berries are incredibly sweet and ripe, making them perfect for everything from snacking to adding a delicious twist to your favorite recipes. Trust me, a visit might just lead you to your next favorite summertime snack!

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

  • Simple ingredients: With just three easy-to-find, budget-friendly ingredients, these popsicles are a breeze to make.
  • Naturally sweetened: We’ve skipped the refined sugar and used liquid stevia to give these ice pops a perfectly sweet taste.
  • Low in calories: At just around 10 calories per pop, you can enjoy a refreshing treat without the guilt.

Ingredients & Substitutions

  • Strawberries: Fresh or frozen both work well here. If you're going with fresh, try to grab them in season from a local farmers market—they’ll be sweeter, juicier, and way more flavorful. Out of season, they can be a bit sour and underwhelming, so frozen strawberries are a great backup that still delivers plenty of taste.
  • Mint Leaves: These add a refreshing, herbal twist that elevates the flavor of the popsicles. Fresh mint is best for that vibrant, cooling note—just a few leaves go a long way.
  • Stevia: A no-calorie sweetener that keeps this recipe refined sugar-free. The amount you use depends on your personal taste and how sweet your strawberries are—feel free to adjust to your liking.
  • Cold Water: Helps blend everything smoothly and gives the popsicles their icy texture. Make sure it’s cold to keep the mixture fresh before freezing.

Step-by-Step Recipe

  1. Blend the ingredients: Add frozen strawberries, mint leaves, stevia, and cold water to a blender. Blend until smooth.
  2. Pour into molds: Carefully pour the mixture into silicone popsicle molds.
  3. Freeze: Place molds in the freezer for 4–6 hours, or overnight, until fully frozen.
  4. Release & enjoy: To remove, dip the molds into warm water for about 20 seconds, then gently pull out the popsicles.

Popsicle Molds Used In This Recipe

I grabbed these silicone popsicle molds from the Bell Dream Store on Amazon, and they've been a game changer. They're budget-friendly, reusable, and made from eco-conscious silicone—perfect for making popsicles all summer long without the waste.

How To Store Homemade Strawberry Popsicles

To store, transfer the sugar-free strawberry mint popsicles into a freezer bag, reusable silicone bag, or airtight container. Or, keep the popsicles in their silicone molds until you’re ready to enjoy them!

Homemade Strawberry Popsicles FAQs

Can you use frozen strawberries for popsicles?

Yes, frozen strawberries work perfectly for popsicles and blend easily into a smooth mixture. They’re also a great option when fresh strawberries aren’t in season.

Are fruit popsicles healthier than ice cream?

Generally, yes—fruit popsicles are often lower in calories, fat, and added sugars. They’re a lighter, more refreshing treat, especially when made with whole fruit and natural sweeteners.

How long do homemade popsicles take to freeze?

Homemade popsicles usually need at least 4–6 hours to freeze completely. For best results, freeze them overnight.

How do you remove popsicles from silicone molds easily?

Run the molds under warm water or dip them in a bowl of warm water for about 20 seconds. This loosens the popsicles so they slide out smoothly.

Can I use a different sweetener instead of stevia?

Yes, you can use maple syrup, agave, or another liquid sweetener. Just adjust to taste depending on the sweetness of your fruit.

How long do homemade popsicles last in the freezer?

Homemade popsicles can last up to 2 months if stored properly in an airtight container. Be sure to keep them sealed to avoid freezer burn.

Calories 9 kcal

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ¼ cup water cold
  • 1 cup frozen strawberries 140 grams
  • ¼ cup mint leaves about 7 grams, remove rough stems
  • 24 stevia drops

Instructions
 

  • Pour water, frozen strawberries, mint leaves, and stevia into a blender. Blend until smooth.

Notes

  1. If you don’t have a food scale, 140 grams of frozen strawberries works out to be a little over a cup.
  2. I recommend using a good-quality blender for this recipe for a smooth and even popsicle texture.
  3. Note, this recipe yields about 2 cups of liquid. Measurements may vary, depending on the size of your popsicle molds and how many you have. For the molds, I have 6 slots, which can handle about 2 cups of liquid.
  4. I use liquid stevia drops in this recipe.
