Strawberry Lime Ice Pops

A couple of weeks ago I shared this recipe for Homemade Limeade as part of our Mini Chef Mondays series. Besides just enjoying this refreshing limeade as a drink, we also used it as the base for some Strawberry Lime Ice Pops. Wesley loved these ice pops and is still talking about them!
I picked up this colorful set of six silicone ice pop molds from Amazon. They do offer a version with a stand, but I opted to save money and buy it without. They fit well into a plastic cup so I substituted two of those instead.
We made a simple strawberry puree for these pops. I let Wesley remove the seeds with a fine mesh strainer. Simply stirring it over and over will push the strawberry puree through the strainer, leaving the seeds behind.
After mixing with our homemade limeade, I let Wes also pour them into the mold. You can keep them standing upright with a jar or cup. Just be sure to leave enough room at the top to put the lid on.
Then just pop them into the freezer for a few hours. That is it!
These silicone molds are super fun and a great way to enjoy a homemade ice pops.
