3 Ingredient Strawberry Kefir Popsicles (GAPS, Gluten-Free)

The strawberry kefir popsicles are the easiest to make using only 3 ingredients, and healthy for a summer treat.

From the perspectives of Traditional Chinese medicine, I usually don’t encourage eating cold foods. Cold foods harm the digestive system and spleen qi, which can lead to a variety of health issues. But when summer is here, my kids want cold treats like everyone else, and my mommy heart doesn’t want to deny them the enjoyment!

I made these strawberry kefir popsicle treats with the healthiest wholesome ingredients at home. Let’s not kid ourselves that we can eat as many popsicles as we wish, no matter how healthy the ingredients are. The strawberry kefir popsicles are wholesome enough to be served without guilt, but all frozen treats should still be eaten in moderation.

Initially I made organic black bean popsicles – frozen treats made from beans are very popular in my childhood, and super yummy too – perhaps I will share the recipe another time. It turned out my boys weren’t fans of black beans, so I ended up trying different recipes.

I always have an abundance of home-made kefir, and had many success of using kefir in various recipes. I made a really delicious mango kefir icecream a couple years ago. Again, these strawberry kefir popsicles turned out amazing!

Highlights of the strawberry kefir popsicles:

• only 3 ingredients
• no blender or food processor needed
• kefir is one of the best source of probiotics (generally home-made kefir contains 30+ strains of probiotics, store-bought kefir contains 10-12 strains of probiotics, while yogurt contains 2-7 strains of probiotics)
• the probiotics in kefir can survive freezing temperature
• great way to use up extra home-made kefir
• perfect summer recipe during strawberry season
• naturally sweetened
