Strawberry Lemonade Ice Pop Recipe

Easy and just great to serve the kids or guests on a hot summer day. I like to get creative in the kitchen. I also enjoy to get a bit experimental in the summer, while the kids are home on summer break. This is such a simple recipe, and you can mix up with any fruits or any of your favorite juice.

Simple: You can use store lemonade, or make your own from powdered lemonade (similar to an ice tea mix). Remember this is a simple easy refreshing recipe. Simply take some fresh strawberries, chop them into some pieces, and take your lemonade and add both ingredients to a blender. Blend until all strawberries, are blended and not large chunks. Simply put in an ice cup tray with tooth pics. You can also buy the plastic ice pop molds at most stores or even online. The fun part is you can be creative with the molds you also purchase.

Enjoy and stay cool this summer!
