Red White and Blue Popsicles for 4th of July


Ingredients

Scale

Red Layer

  • 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries (hulled)

  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

  • 12 tablespoons water, if needed for blending

White Layer

  • 1 cup vanilla yogurt (Greek or regular, or plant-based)

  • 12 teaspoons honey or sugar (optional, depending on yogurt)

Blue Layer

  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

  • 1 tablespoon honey or syrup (optional)

  • Water as needed to blend

Tools

  • Popsicle molds (or small paper cups)

  • Popsicle sticks

  • Blender or food processor


Instructions

Step 1: Blend Each Layer Separately

  1. Red Layer:
    Blend strawberries, lemon juice, and sweetener until smooth. Add water if needed to thin. Set aside.

  2. White Layer:
    Stir or lightly blend yogurt with optional sweetener. Keep thick for clean layers.

  3. Blue Layer:
    Blend blueberries with lemon juice and sweetener. Add a splash of water if needed.

Step 2: Layer the Popsicles

  1. Pour red mixture into molds—fill about ⅓ of each.

  2. Freeze for 20–30 minutes until slightly firm (not fully frozen).

  3. Pour in yogurt layer—another ⅓ of the way. Freeze again for 20–30 minutes.

  4. Add the blue layer to fill molds to the top.

  5. Insert sticks and freeze fully for at least 4–6 hours, preferably overnight.

Step 3: Release and Serve

  1. To release, run warm water over the outside of the mold for a few seconds.

  2. Gently wiggle out and serve immediately.

Notes

Frozen fruit can be used in place of fresh—just thaw slightly to blend easily.
