The colour of these popsicles stopped me when I pulled them from the mould. Pale pink with flecks of green pistachio throughout. Two cups of fresh strawberries blended with shelled pistachios, agave nectar, and DREAM Boosted Original Coconut Beverage. Poured into moulds, frozen for at least four hours.
The pistachios do not just sit in the popsicle. They blend into the base and give it a nutty richness that plain strawberry popsicles do not have. The coconut beverage keeps everything creamy and dairy-free. The agave is mild enough to sweeten without covering the fruit. These taste expensive and take ten minutes to make.
Tips for Making Strawberry Pistachio Smoothie Pops
Blend until the pistachios are fully incorporated
Quarter cup of shelled pistachios blended with the strawberries and coconut beverage. Run the blender for at least thirty seconds until no large nut pieces remain. 
Small pistachio flecks in the mixture are fine. Large chunks freeze hard and make the popsicle unpleasant to bite.
Freeze for at least four hours
Pour into moulds and insert sticks. The mixture is thin enough to pour easily.
Overnight freezing is best. Four hours is the minimum for a firm set. Run warm water over the moulds to release.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different nut?
Cashews or almonds blend well. Pistachios give a distinctive green colour and nutty flavour that is hard to replicate.
What if I do not have DREAM Coconut Beverage?
Any unsweetened coconut milk or other plant-based milk works. The popsicle will be slightly less creamy with thinner milks.
Can I use honey instead of agave?
Yes. One tablespoon of honey works. Agave is milder and blends more smoothly into cold mixtures.

I like to bake my Strawberry Pistachio Crisp on a baking sheet lined with a Silpat mat to catch bubbling juices and keep it from sliding around.
Looks delicious summer pops! Is Agave Nectar calorie free? Can you try Stevia next time? I’ve started using Stevia on almost everything. Not like Sugar but still good. Absolutely zero calories.
This formula is light and delightful that features that normal sweetness of strawberries.
