Basil & Strawberry Popsicles

These easy and healthy strawberry popsicles feature Greek yogurt to make them creamy, maple syrup, and fresh basil for a pop of flavor.

We love summer. Lazy mornings at the farmer’s market, winding bike treks, road trips to visit dear family, strawberry shortcake, frozen lemonade… we’ve been loving every minute. Our summer has been a tad interrupted with an unplanned house renovation, but it was a welcome surprise. Our conversations now consist of flooring choices and countertop materials, and details I’d never dreamed of knowing or caring about (1/8″ grout between tiles? undermount sinks? partial overlay cabinets?). But we’re having a ball, and we feel so fortunate to be able to design our own new space. Keep reading for this strawberry popsicles recipes, and more on summer fun!

How to make strawberry popsicles

Speaking of road trips, we had a beautiful one to Minnesota this past weekend, visiting with family and friends. We had a truly amazing brunch with Lindsay and Bjork of Pinch of Yum, one of those meals where each component is so well-thought out and utterly delicious that you don’t want it to end, followed by some lazy summer cold pressed coffee and cherries with Sarah of The Vanilla Bean Blog and her truly adorable family. I know we say it often, but people who love food are the best kind of people. Right?

Anyway, here’s a recipe to enjoy summer with those people you love: these easy and healthy strawberry popsicles! The recipe features one of our favorite ingredients – Greek yogurt which adds the creaminess of the popsicles. We’ve been using Greek yogurt in everything lately, from strawberry shortcake to ranch dip. These strawberry popsicles are refreshing and delicious, and naturally sweetened using maple syrup or honey. For some added flair, we added some basil from our garden for a little pop. Here’s to summer, and those relationships that keep us going!
