This quick and easy vegan Popsicle recipe is divine whether you're on a raw food diet. A tart and sweet strawberry Popsicle makes quick work of thirst quenching! This simple, nutritious treat will keep a smile on your face through the hot summer days when strawberries are fresh and abundant! If you want to complicate your life a little, you can strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to remove the strawberry seeds before freezing. Otherwise, skip it and enjoy!

These raw vegan popsicles are also fat-free and sugar-free. What's not to love?

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Freeze Time: 4 hours

Total Time: 4 hours, 15 minutes

Yield: 4 to 8 Popsicles

Ingredients:

  • 1 heaping cup of fresh strawberries, or frozen
  • 1 cup fresh pineapple juice (sometimes I blend fresh pineapple with a little water for pineapple juice, rather than juicing)
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons raw agave nectar, optional when needed

Preparation:

Simply blend your ingredients together in a blender and pour the mixture into popsicle trays. Freeze for 3 to 4 hours or until the pop is frozen solid. Defrost for about 5 minutes before trying to remove the popsicle from the tray or you run the risk of pulling the stick out. You can also try running the tray (upside-down) under warm water to melt the outsides and loosen them up, making them easy to remove.

Enjoy your sugar-free, fat-free summer treat!
