I found this via Pinterest last week because the kids were begging for popsicles now that the weather is suddenly warmer. The original recipe can be found here. Just happened to have a banana and some strawberries, so we made these. They gobbled them up! Totally making them again this spring & summer.
The original recipe says if you need your popsicles to be a bit sweeter, add a little honey to the mix and blend again. Our banana was very ripe and our strawberries were sweet, so we didn't need it, but if the strawberries are tart, I can see you might.
Strawberry Banana Popsicles
1 ripe banana -- broken in chunks and frozen
12 large strawberries -- sliced in half
1/2 cup orange juice OR pineapple juice
Honey if needed for sweetness -- test mix first to see!
Put everything in a blender and blend until smooth -- about 1 to 2 minutes. Taste with a spoon to see if it's sweet enough. If it isn't, add honey and blend again. Pour into popsicle molds and freeze 6 hours or overnight.
Makes 9 popsicles in the molds I got from IKEA.
