In a high powered blender combine strawberries, lemon juice, vanilla extract, water and honey. Blend until smooth. Set aside.
To the popsicle mold, add dollops of greek yogurt on the inside of the cavities, using a spoon to stick the yogurt to the sides to create the “strawberries and cream” look.
Pour the strawberry mixture into the cavities of the popsicle mold. Divide the mixture evenly. Top with popsicle sticks and place in the freezer to harden (usually at least 4 hours).
Notes
You can get as creative as you like with these. Some great add-ins include fresh basil, protein powder, mango, dipping in white chocolate or mixing the yogurt directly in with the strawberries for a creamier popsicle.I do not recommend substituing fresh strawberries with frozen!Water can be replaced with milk for a creamier popsicle.Honey is optional and will depend on how sweet your strawberries are and your personal taste preferences. I like a sweet popsicle, however some individuals find the strawberries enough.*I have included the nutrition information for this recipe below.
