Strawberry Lime Pops

Beat the heat this summer with these simple, fresh, and delicious Strawberry Lime Pops!

Hot and humid summer days call for cold and refreshing snacks. Frozen treats to be exact. And what's even better is when those treats are homemade, like these deliciously fruity strawberry lime pops. Made with just a few simple ingredients, you can't go wrong. No added preservatives, artificial flavors, corn syrups, etc. Just real fruit and a little bit of sugar. That's it. 

These pops are so simple to make - whip up a quick batch of simple syrup, then pop the cooled mixture into a blender with some sliced, fresh strawberries and the juice of a couple fresh limes. Blend it well, then add it to your popsicle mold. Freeze for a few hours and voila! Real strawberry lime pops made with fresh summer fruits. What's better than that?

Strawberry Lime Slushies

Homemade Strawberry Lime Slushies are fresh and fruity and perfect on a hot summer day!

Growing up there was a place called Tastee Freez about a block away from my house. It was the cutest ice cream parlor you ever did see, and I loved to head down there ever summer for treats.

Of course I loved getting soft serve in a cone or even splurging for a banana split, but I also really loved their slushies. I can remember the different flavors they offered like traditional raspberry and cherry, and also the out of the ordinary bubble gum. I have many fond memories of my parents and I at that parlor, as well as my friends and I riding our bikes down there for a treat. Man do I miss that place!
