Yield: this recipe makes roughly 2 cups of popsicle mixture. You may need to increase/decrease that amount based on your popsicle mold size. If you have any leftovers, feel free to serve it as a smoothie or smoothie bowl to your kiddos (or yourself).
Sweetness: Depending on the sweetness of your fruit and your sweetness preference, I recommend tasting the popsicle base before pouring it into the molds, as you may need a little more honey. You can also substitute the honey with maple syrup, agave nectar or a simple syrup.
3-Minute Instructions: If you have very ripe strawberries that are bursting with flavor, then feel free to add all of the ingredients into a blender and puree until smooth - no simmering needed.
Frozen Strawberries: If using frozen strawberries, thaw first and then add them (and their juices) to a blender along with the other ingredients. There is no need to simmer the frozen strawberries.
