These fresh red white and blue popsicles are natural, layered treats perfect for summer. Made with fresh berries, creamy coconut yogurt, and natural sweeteners, they offer a refreshing and colorful way to celebrate any sunny day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped (or frozen berries, thawed)
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup full-fat coconut yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries (or frozen, thawed)
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Watermelon chunks or juice (optional)
  • Popsicle sticks and molds

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Red Layer: In a blender, combine the strawberries, honey, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth but still a little textured. Pour about 1/3 cup of the mixture into each popsicle mold, filling the bottom layer. Place molds in the freezer for at least 2 hours until firm.
  2. Mix the White Layer: While the red layer is freezing, stir together the coconut yogurt, vanilla extract, and honey in a bowl. Adjust sweetness to your liking. Once the red layer is frozen solid, carefully spoon or pipe the white layer on top, filling about 1/3 of each mold. Return molds to freezer for another 1.5 to 2 hours.
  3. Prepare the Blue Layer: Blend the blueberries with honey and lemon juice until smooth. For an extra fresh touch, add a splash of watermelon juice if you like. Once the white layer is firm, add the blue layer to each mold, filling to the top. Insert popsicle sticks now if your molds require it. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to fully set.
  4. Unmold and Serve: To unmold, run warm water briefly over the outside of the molds to loosen the popsicles. Gently pull on the sticks and enjoy immediately or store in a freezer bag for later.

Notes

Freeze each layer solid before adding the next to keep layers neat and colors crisp. Insert popsicle sticks after adding the final layer while still soft to keep them centered. If you don’t have a blender, mash berries with a fork for chunkier texture. Store popsicles in airtight freezer bags for up to two weeks. Avoid microwaving to soften; instead, run warm water on molds.
