So I bought a lot of popsicle molds... like A LOT of popsicle molds.... lol And all I have been doing is playing around- and totally having fun in the process - and making up new low carb popsicles using in season ingredients. This recipe is so wonderfully refreshing and with a couple of slivered almonds it takes this to a new popsicle level!
lil carb Strawberry Almond Popsicles- Makes 4 popsicles (2.5 oz each)
2 cups fresh strawberries, cut into quarters
1/4 cup cold water
1/2 lemon, juiced
1 tsp Almond Extract
2 tsp granulated Truvia, or your favorite sweetener
2 Tbsp slivered almonds (optional)
To a blender add in the strawberries, cold water, lemon juice, almond extract and Truvia.
Blend for about 30 seconds until everything is well combined.
Add 1/2 Tbsp of slivered almonds to each popsicle mold- if using- but you totally should because it's SO good! Then pour mixture into popsicle molds and refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours.
When you are ready to eat add warm/hot water to a cup that will fit your mold and let popsicle sit for 5-10 seconds then it will release easily from the mold. Enjoy!
