3-Ingredient Strawberry Sage Popsicles

These delicious Healthy Strawberry Sage Popsicles are made with only 3 Ingredients. They’re a refreshing treat with an added special ingredient that you’d likely never expect: sage!
Strawberries are the most deceptive food, particularly in North America.
They look so beautiful: lush red, juicily plump, large heart-shaped. Just looking at them, you can imagine slurping in the sweet juice as you sink your teeth into the red flesh.
Instead, if I succumb to buying them in an ordinary grocery store, they turn out to be cardboard under the illusion of strawberries.
Good quality strawberries, on the other hand, fulfill all those expectations. Their sweet scent is a sign that summer is underway, bringing with it all the associations of sunny days, fresh sweet fruit, strawberry lemonade, and these popsicles.
These sugar-free strawberry popsicles are great for kids and adults as they’re surprisingly good. There is only enough sage to add complexity of flavor, not overwhelm with sageness. It’s the same principle at work in this Watermelon Lemon Balm Sorbet and Cherry Mint Spritzer.

Recipe Notes
- You can substitute approximately 2 teaspoons of organic dried sage for the fresh sage.
- Use basil instead of the sage for strawberry basil popsicles!
- Any healthy sweetener of choice can be used instead of honey. 1/32 – 1/16 teaspoon stevia or 1 tablespoon xylitol would be great low-glycemic alternatives. This post on Substituting Sweeteners or this post about stevia and how to use it have helpful tips.
- I added water to my popsicles to stretch out the strawberries a bit. For more intense strawberry flavor and more sweetness, skip the water or add less of it.
Shopping Tips
1. For the sage, if you are going to be using dried sage, I recommend Starwest Botanicals, or Amazon.
2. If you don’t already have popsicle molds, I would personally recommend these popsicle molds.

Notes
- Because of how many toxins there are in water, I highly recommend using filtered water. Here’s a post on How to Make Your Water Safe.
- You can substitute approximately 2 teaspoons of organic dried sage for the fresh sage.

Hi there – sorry for the late delay – I have been swamped and just didn’t have time for something like this. Thanks!
I am now craving the flavor combination of strawberries and sage in a galette, for some reason. I know what I’m making when I get home!
I think that sounds fabulous!!!!
I’ve been wanting to make a galette but haven’t yet. Sounds delicious!

It’s totally popsicle season and these look amazing!
Thanks, Tina!
Such a brilliant idea to mix sage and strawberries! I LOVE sage….and I have a giant plant in my garden 🙂
Why thank you! I love sage too, good thing it grows so big!
I’ve never tried sage with strawberries before! Time to dust off those popsicle molds.
I hope the popsicle molds got dusted off – it makes summer summer! 🙂
