    Red White & Blue Popsicles

    With the summer season coming up, I’m always eager to try out all sorts of delicious cold and frozen recipes. While no-bake cheesecakes and homemade ice creams are always tasty and fun, sometimes I just need a fruity popsicle. If you need a frozen treat that’s perfect for the kids this 4th of July or Memorial Day, try these homemade Red White and Blue Popsicles!

    Layered healthy popsicles

    These things look something like a classic Firecracker Popsicle or a Boom Pop Popsicle. The big difference is that our popsicles are made with fresh fruit purees- no weird artificial syrups or anything! Though these things taste so good you wouldn’t think they’re so good for you. Using these fresh fruit purees not only brings genuine fruity flavor to our pops but also brings all the health benefits that come from the berries we use.

    Ingredients for our Red White and Blue Popsicle Recipe

    • Strawberries

    Red White and Blue Popsicle Ingredients

    How to make Popsicles

    Making homemade popsicles is real easy- not hard at all! Here’s what you’ll need to do:
    1. Blend your blueberries into a puree using a blender or food processor. Add to your popsicle molds.
    2. Mix your yogurt and honey well until fully combined. Add to your popsicle molds.
    3. Blend your strawberries into a puree before adding to your popsicle molds. Add popsicle sticks and allow to freeze for 30 minutes.

    Blueberry added to mold

    These layered popsicles are easy to put together. Start with the blueberry layer at the bottom. Add your blueberries to a blender or food processor and pulse them into a smooth puree. Add about 2-3 tbsp of this puree to each of your popsicle molds.

    Next up is the white layer- for this, we’ll just do a honey yogurt. In a mixing bowl, combine your yogurt and honey and mix well to combine.

    Honey added to yogurt

    Again, add 2-3 tbsp of your yogurt to each popsicle mold before moving on to the strawberries. For those, puree them just like the blueberries. Once smooth, add 2-3 tbsp to each popsicle mold.

    Sticks placed in popsicle mold

    All that’s left is to add the lid to your mold- if it has one- and insert your popsicle sticks. Pop those into the freezer, wait until they’re frozen solid, and enjoy!

    How long do popsicles take to freeze?

    It mostly depends on how cold your freezer is. It could take as short as 4 hours or as long as overnight. Expect your popsicles to take about 6-8 hours in the freezer. Once frozen, your popsicles should last about 6-8 months in the freezer.

    Flavors for Red White and Blue Popsicles

    You could use all sorts of different fruits and flavors for your Red White and Blue Popsicles. Here are just a few suggestions:
    • Red – Plenty of delicious red fruits out there! Cherries are an easy place to start, but you can also try using raspberries or cranberries. For some more interesting picks, consider watermelon, pomegranate, or maybe some red grapes!
    • White – If you stick to using our yogurt base, you could experiment with all sorts of flavors here! Of course, you could start using other off-the-shelf yogurt flavors. You can also try mixing flavors into plain yogurt yourself.
    • Blue – While blueberries will give you the best blue color, you can try a few other fruits and use a bit of blue coloring to coax them in the right direction. Try blackberries, elderberries, or some currants.
    • Firecracker Popsicle – The classic Firecracker Popsicle uses a flavor combo of cherry, white lemon, and blue raspberry. While you can sub in cherries for the strawberries and use some lemon yogurt, the blue raspberry is going to be tough. Either stick with blueberries or try using raspberries and plenty of blue food coloring. For a Boom Pop Popsicle CopyCat, use lime instead of lemon.
