Strawberry Rhubarb is a combination so delicious, it’s perfect in all forms! And today’s recipe is no exception!

Last week I shared how I come up with some of my recipes. This one was more of a happy accident. I initially made a rhubarb compote to add too first oatmeal, followed by yogurt. And although it tasted great in both forms, I was very unhappy with how all the pictures turned out.

So, I had a small jar of compote in my fridge, and needed a new idea for a recipe. I started by searching my fridge, freezer, and pantry for foods that go well with rhubarb. I usually keep my freezer stalked with a variety of frozen fruit, so when it comes to rhubarb, I was drawn to strawberries! Instead of a smoothie bowl, which I shared a couple of weeks ago, I decided to make my frozen mix in popsicle form!
