How to Make Red White and Blue Popsicles
These are super easy to make and you can make them two different ways depending on how you want them to look.
- Rinse – Rinse your strawberries and blueberries and pat dry.
- Slice/Chop – You can either slice your strawberries for a more whole fruit look, or chop them for a layered look.
- Mix – If you are using plain Greek yogurt, you can mix in a little maple syrup to sweeten up the popsicles. If you are using vanilla, no sweetener is needed.
- Layer – If you are going for the layered look, add chopped strawberries in the bottom of each popsicle mold. Then yogurt, then blueberries and then repeat. If you want the whole fruit look, add yogurt about 1/4 of the way up the mold. Place strawberries and blueberries in the mold and arrange with a popsicle stick. Add more yogurt and berries until the popsicle mold is full. Add popsicles sticks to each mold.
- Freeze – Freeze until solid which will take about 6 hours. Enjoy!
