Make the yummiest red white and blue popsicles with real food ingredients. No artificial colors, no added sugar, and they're perfect for the 4th of July!
Summer weather is here to stay, meaning my boys are making frequent trips to the freezer to look for homemade ice cream and freezer pops.
Zeke could practically live on popsicles in the summer, and sometimes we have a hard time limiting him to just one or two, especially on hot, humid, sticky days like we've had here lately.
Since the 4th of July is just around the corner, I thought it might be fun to make naturally colored red white blue freeze pops, festive for this patriotic occasion!
Why You'll Love This Recipe
- It's so easy to make; your kids can even help you.
- Red white and blue pops only have 3 ingredients!
- All the ingredients are real food… No artificial colors, no added sugar… Like with my mandarin peach fruit pops, you can feel good about letting your kids eat these natural freezer pops.
Ingredient Notes
- Fresh Berries – We use fresh strawberries and blueberries to make red white and blue ice pops.
- Greek Yogurt – While we prefer to use a honey strawberry flavor, you can use any flavor you want.
How to Make Red White and Blue Popsicles
Before you get started, be sure to wash all your berries and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Then you can mix and make by following these steps…
- Slice or chop the strawberries and crush with a potato masher.
- Mix the strawberries with 1/4 cup Greek yogurt and set aside.
- Crush the blueberries in a separate bowl.
- Mix the blueberries with 1/4 cup Greek yogurt and set aside.
- For the first (RED) layer, place 1-2 spoonfuls strawberry/yogurt mixture in each freezer pop mold. How many spoonfuls you add to each layer will depend on the size of your freezer pop mold.
- For the second (WHITE) layer, add 1-2 spoonfuls of Greek yogurt (no berries) next.
- For the third and final (BLUE) layer, add 1-2 spoonfuls blueberry/yogurt mixture.
- Add the popsicle sticks and freeze overnight or until frozen through. Then serve and enjoy!
