Every time I go to the farmers market, I pick up plants. I've had my galangal plants for 8 years and it's one of my best farmer's market purchases. We call him Jerry.

One summer I bought six basil plants in four different types - Italian, lemon, Thai and purple.

And then I got the idea to try them with strawberries.

And then I thought why not in a popsicle?

So I mixed up the strawberries with Greek yogurt and added a bunch of basil - my favorite herb.

I love basil so much I'd probably wear basil perfume at this point.

Try these refreshing popsicles for an easy to make treat!

Ingredients

See the recipe card for exact amounts.

• strawberries: I use fresh strawberries for these ice pops.
• basil: fresh basil adds a complimentary flavor to the strawberries
• yogurt: adds tangy flavor and creaminess
• sweetener: this is optional. You can use simple syrup or maple syrup.

Substitutions

• yogurt: try regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt. Or try a flavored yogurt.

Instructions

You'll need a food processor or blender to mix this recipe.

1. Add the strawberries yogurt to a blender and blend until smooth.
2. Add the basil and pulse until you can see small flecks of basil.
3. Pour the mixture in popsicle molds and freeze for 4 hours or until solid.

Tips for making strawberry basil popsicles

• Use frozen strawberries if fresh strawberries aren't available.
• Try a different fruit like peaches.
• Taste the blended mix to make sure it's sweet enough for you before freezing it.

Storage

Keep the popsicles in the freezer until serving.
