So what makes this blueberry basil popsicle recipe so easy?

All you need is a blender and popsicle molds! Add three ingredients. Yes, you only need three ingredients to make this healthy snack. Blueberries, Basil and Honey!

Blueberries and basil provide all the flavor, and honey adds extra sweetness to round it out. You just throw all three in a blender or food processor and pulse on high speed for a few minutes. I like to extend my blending time to really make sure the blueberries don’t have the skin on.

Once thoroughly mixed, simply pour them into popsicle molds and place them in the freezer for about 3 hours or overnight. They’re completely frozen through, and you get a fun popsicle that you can gift to your family, friends, and especially your kids!

Here’s a Pro Tip: Run popsicle molds under hot water before attempting to pull popsicle molds out. The popsicles themselves may have frozen onto the molds, so by running them carefully in hot water, you can melt the edges and allow the popsicles to pull apart.

From there you can gently pull up on the popsicle sticks and they should slide right out. Serve and enjoy!

You can also store them in the fridge for up to 3 months and eat them occasionally. This time I did it with full intention, but they disappeared within 3 days. Good thing they’re easy to make again!
