Blackberry Lemonade Popsicles
These Blackberry Lemonade Popsicles are all natural and full of flavor. A great summer treat for the kids!
My kids have been on a popsicle kick lately and the store bought brands are convenient but full of things I can’t even pronounce. I was at HomeGoods the other day and happened to see a popsicle kit for only $6. I figured, what the heck, for only $6 I’ll give it a try! My youngest kid has been really into blackberries lately so for my first try at homemade popsicles I made these blackberry lemonade popsicles.
I love the taste of lemon and blackberry together as you might have noticed from some of my other recipes. So, I decided to use lemonade as my liquid for these popsicles. I mean it is summer and doesn’t blackberry lemonade sound delicious? Turns out blackberry lemonade popsicles are even better!

You will need:
1 c Fresh Blackberries
4 Tbsp Water
2 Tbsp Amber Agave Nectar
1½ c Organic Lemonade
I pureed the blackberries with 4 tablespoons of water with my handy immersion blender. I love that thing it makes getting everything nice and smooth so easy. The blackberries weren’t quite sweet enough on their own so I added 3 tablespoons of Agave Nectar . I like to use that because it is a natural sweetener that is sweet enough to get the blackberries to just the right flavor. I mixed the blackberry mixture with 2 cups of organic lemonade and poured it into the popsicle form. I think the hardest part of this whole process was clearing out a space in my freezer that was big enough to put the popsicle tray in and make sure it was sitting flat. It wasn’t easy but I managed it! Once they were in there I waited 4-6 hours and they were done. My kids loved them! I loved them too because it was easy to make, and it is healthier and less expensive than buying store brands.
I will definitely be making them again this summer and I can’t wait to try out different flavor combinations.
