Directions:
Add diced strawberries to a small bowl. Sprinkle the sugar over them and mix well. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until the juices start to form. We lightly mashed a few strawberries but kept most whole to give our popsicles some lovely bits of fruit. If you prefer, you can puree them for a smoother texture.
Next, evenly spoon your strawberry mixture into your popsicle mold until it’s all used up.
Pour the Simply Lemonade over the strawberry mixture, leaving a small space at the top for expansion as they freeze.
Place the lid on top and add your popsicle sticks. Freeze until solid, which usually takes a few hours.
Note: If you want your strawberries to be mixed throughout the popsicle, give the mixture a gentle stir when you’re pouring it. We opted for an easy approach, and my kids loved finding little strawberry chunks at the bottom!
How to Serve Strawberry Lemonade Popsicles
To serve, just run warm water over the outside of the popsicle mold for a few seconds to loosen the popsicles. Gently pull them out and enjoy! They are perfect on their own or with a side of fresh fruit.
How to Store Strawberry Lemonade Popsicles
Store your popsicles in the freezer in an airtight container or keep them in their molds if you plan to eat them soon. They can last up to a month in the freezer.
Tips to Make Strawberry Lemonade Popsicles
- Use fresh strawberries for the best flavor.
- Adjust the sugar to your taste; you may want more or less depending on the ripeness of your strawberries.

Variation
You can swap out Simply Lemonade for limeade for a delicious twist, or mix in some mint leaves for an added refreshing touch.
