One of the best things about summer is all the fresh produce around. Summer fruits and veggies are in abundance and the possibilities are truly endless. One of our favorite things to do with all the fresh fruit during the summer time is to make homemade popsicles. Homemade popsicles are a much better option to homemade as you can control exactly what goes in them. No additives, food coloring, refined sugars, or any other harmful chemicals.

What you need to make Blackberry-Strawberry Popsicles:
Ingredients:
- Strawberries
- Blackberries
- Coconut Water
- Fresh Basil
- Honey
Equipment:
- Blender
- Popsicle Molds
- Popsicle Sticks
How to make Blackberry-Strawberry Popsicles:
- Step 1– Remove stems from strawberries and slice into halves. Measure out 2 cups and place in blender. Add in rest of ingredients; 1/2 cup of blackberries, coconut water, fresh basil, and honey. Blend on high for 30-60 seconds until well blended together.
- Step 2– Evenly distribute the other 1/2 cup of blackberries into a 10 popsicle mold. If you have more blackberries add a few more. I personally like to add about 3-4 blackberries per mold, it makes the popsicles look prettier.
- Step 3– Evenly pour in blackberry-strawberry mixture into each mold. Cover the mold with its top then stick popsicle sticks into each mold. Place popsicles in the freezer for at least 6 hours or preferably overnight.
- Step 4– Remove popsicles from the freezer and remove from mold. If it’s too hard for the popsicles to come out, run under warm water for a few seconds and that should loosen up the popsicles enough to pop right out of the molds. Keep any leftover popsicles frozen for up to 4-6 months. Enjoy!
Tips and Substitutions:
- Use silicone popsicle molds- These make it so easy to pop the popsicles out once they are frozen.
- Use ripe fruit- Ripe fruit build up more sugar making it sweeter which will also make your popsicles a bit sweeter without having to add any sweeteners.
- Use other berries- Try making these with raspberries or blueberries too.
