Servings 4 popsicles

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup lemon tea or water
  • 1/2 cup strawberry pieces
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 2 teaspoon chia seeds
  • 2 tablespoon strawberry slices (optional to add)

Instructions
 

  • Brew and cool your lemon tea if using.
  • Wash your strawberries. Remove the leaves. Chop into pieces and press into a half cup measuring cup.
  • Add the strawberry pieces, tea/water, lemon juice, sugar and chia seeds to a blender. Blend until smoothe. After blending option to stir in the strawberry slices so there are some strawberry chunks in the popsicles.
  • Pour into popsicle molds or paper cups until approximately 80% full. Add the tops to the popsicle molds. Or if using paper cups cover the tops with aluminum foil or plastic wrap, cut a popsicle or stir stick in half, and push the stick through the middle of the foil/wrap.
  • Freeze until solid (typically 3+ hours). Run some hot water over the popsicle mold/cup to release the popsicle.

Notes

  • On the low FODMAP diet limit fruit to one serving per meal/snack. One serving of strawberries is 1 cup.
  • If you want your popsicles to be extra tart add an extra tablespoon of lemon juice.
  • If you want your popsicles to have a super strong strawberry flavour you can substitute the 1/2 cup of tea/water with 1/2 cup more sliced strawberries.
  • If you want these popsicles to be sweeter and be more like a treat you could add an extra tablespoon of sugar and tablespoon of lemon juice.
  • Don't have any aluminium foil or plastic wrap? Fill the paper cups and put in freezer for 1 hour. Remove the cups from the freezer and place the sticks in the middle of the cup (the popsicle will be partly frozen and the sticks will stay upright). Place back in the freezer for 2+ more hours.
  • Not all teas are low FODMAP. Check ingredients list for high FODMAP or untested ingredients. Rooibos tea is low FODMAP. Click here for more info on finding a low FODMAP tea. If you do not have a lemon tea you can use water instead of tea and add 1 extra tablespoon of lemon juice for more flavour. The drink will be tarter and may need more sugar.
  • There are 2 ways to brew your tea. You can brew tea as usual using hot water and allow it to cool off before using (if you are in a hurry you can add ice cubes to the tea to cool it faster). Or you can cold brew your tea by adding the tea to cold water for 6-24 hours. For both methods it can be helpful to make the tea the night before you hope to use it.
