These Strawberry Chia Seed Popsicles are sweet, refreshing, and perfect for warm summer days! I’ve been making this recipe for YEARS and it’s my secret method for getting my kids to eat more fruit. Made with just 5 ingredients in a blender, this Strawberry Popsicles recipe is vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, and refined sugar-free. My family and I love this sweet healthy frozen treat and I know you will, too!

Strawberry Popsicles Recipe

If you asked me what my favorite summer treat recipe is, these Strawberry Popsicles are at the top of my list! Along with my Ninja Creami Protein Milkshake, Healthy Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream, and Healthy Buster Bars, of course. I love how refreshing these fruity popsicles are, but they have chia seeds that provide healthy fats, protein, and fiber. They’re also naturally sweetened and every bite is full of so much sweet flavor!

Why You’ll Love Them

  • Easy to Make – Just put everything into a blender and blend! Then pour into a popsicle mold and freeze.
  • 5 Ingredients – That’s it!
  • Naturally Sweetened – The fresh, ripe strawberries and maple syrup sweeten these homemade popsicles to perfection.
  • Dairy-Free/Gluten-Free
  • Perfect for Kids – And for mom! The kids have no idea that these strawberry popsicles are full of healthy ingredients, and I get a refreshing frozen treat as well. This recipe is truly the perfect refreshing summer dessert!

All you’ll need is a high-speed blender and a popsicle mold to get started!

Ingredients for Chia Seed Popsicles

  • Chia Seeds – These add healthy fats, protein, and fiber that take the nutrition level up a notch. And you can’t even taste them!
  • Lemon Juice – Fresh is best for this recipe.
  • Ripe Strawberries – Washed and tops cut off.
  • Plant-Based Milk – Soy or oat milk are my favorites since they’re thick and won’t result in icy pops, but you could really use any type of plant-based milk you want.
  • Maple Syrup – Honey works great, too!

How to Make Strawberry Popsicles

It’s so easy to make these healthy popsicles in just 10 minutes hands-on time! Here’s how to make Strawberry Popsicles:

  1. Mix the chia seeds and lemon juice, then set it aside while you prep the other ingredients (this allows the chia seeds to soak up the liquid, making them softer and easier to blend).
  2. Place everything into the blender and blend until evenly smooth!
  3. Pour into a popsicle mold and freeze for 8-12 hours.
  4. Remove the popsicles from the mold and enjoy or store for later!

The Best Popsicle Molds

I’ve been using this same popsicle mold for years and have loved it! But I will admit, you have to work with it a little bit to get the popsicles out. Here are some of my other favorite molds that I would recommend for Strawberry Popsicles:

Variations

Strawberry Shortcake Popsicles

Add vanilla coconut yogurt or Greek yogurt to the strawberry popsicle base and blend. Prep an oat crumble mixture with dairy-free butter (melted), rolled oats, almond flour, and maple syrup. Mix in crumbled freeze-dried strawberries, then add to the bottom of the popsicle molds. Pour in the blended mixture and freeze!

Strawberry Yogurt Popsicles

After blending the ingredients, layer a little bit of coconut yogurt or vanilla Greek yogurt into the popsicle mixture in the popsicle mold. It makes them beautiful and so delish!

Strawberry Crunch Popsicles

Add crushed golden Oreos mixed with crumbled freeze-dried strawberries to the bottom of the popsicle molds before pouring in the liquid and freezing.

Strawberry Lemonade Popsicles

While the chia seeds are already soaked in lemon juice, giving these popsicles a hint of lemon, you can also make Strawberry Lemonade Popsicles by replacing the lemon juice with lemonade and adding a bit extra to the mixture!

How to Store

Store Strawberry Chia Seed Popsicles in an airtight container with a lid in the freezer for up to 3 months! Be sure to add a layer of parchment paper between each popsicle so that they don’t stick together.

    I definitely need this (a lot of this). We went biking yesterday and you’d think we were being healthy and all but we ended up eating ice cream after because it was so hot! We need more healthy options in our lives!! And this looks so delicious and so refreshing. And we already have chia seeds so we’re on our way 🙂
