Strawberry Cherry Lemonade Popsicles

Strawberry Cherry Lemonade Popsicles I love that they blended these yummy fruits and lemonade into what will surely become one of my favorite delicious popsicle recipes. Lemonade is such a summer beverage classic, and to pair it with these berries balances it out perfectly. The recipe is so simple too. I love that it uses agave nectar as opposed to sugar. It’s a much healthier alternative!

Ingredients:
2 cups strawberries
3-4 Tbsp lemon juice
1 1/4 cups pitted cherries
1/4 cup agave nectar

**Directions:
**Gather the ingredients for the recipe and blend in a high-speed blender.For the strawberry cherry lemonade popsicles, you can blend all the ingredients together at the the same time. Pour the popsicles into 6 BPA-free Tavolo star popsicle holders (or whatever popsicle sleeves you choose) and freeze for at least four hours. Remove the sleeve (you may have to run them under hot water briefly to loosen them) and pass out the popsicles. Enjoy!

Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Popsicles – Low Carb and Gluten-Free

Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Popsicles – Low Carb and Gluten-Free Chocolate is one of my favorite sweets, and when you add peanut butter into the mix, it’s a delicious party on my taste buds! The peanut butter even adds some healthy fiber to it! This rich and creamy pop is not only low carb, gluten free and tasty, but it’ll keep you cool on those hot summer days too!

Ingredients:
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup powdered Sweetener or erythritol
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp stevia extract
3/4 cup heavy cream 4 oz high % cacao chocolate, chopped

**Directions:
**In a large bowl, beat together the cream cheese, peanut butter, sweetener, vanilla extract, stevia extract and heavy cream until well combined and smooth. Spoon into 12 to 15 popsicle molds (depending on size) and tap molds firmly on counter to release as many air bubbles as you can. Place popsicle sticks in the center of each (wooden sticks are preferable as they stay in the popsicles better). Freeze 4 hours until firm. Remove from molds by running under hot water or placing in a bowl of hot water for 30 seconds, then gently twisting the sticks until they release.

Keep in freezer until ready to dip in chocolate. Line a baking sheet with parchment or waxed paper and place in freezer. Set a metal or ceramic bowl over a saucepan of barely simmering water (do not allow bottom of bowl to touch water). Add chopped chocolate and stir until melted. Remove from heat. Dip a popsicle into chocolate about half way, then let excess drip off back into bowl (you can hold upright and twist to get some interesting chocolate drips down the sides of the popsicle). When chocolate is firm, place finished popsicle on cookie sheet in freezer and repeat with remaining Popsicle.

It can also be really yummy when (pretty much any) fruity Popsicle sticks are dipped into melted chocolate! Once, I got a raspberry Popsicle and dipped in dark chocolate. It was awesome!
