Healthy 4th of July popsicle recipes are easy to make and a great project to do with the kids. I count this as quality time with kids, rather than time in the kitchen. The possibilities are so endless and the end results so delicioso!
We made three kinds, but two of them had similar ingredients, so I scored 'cool mom' points, but didn't spend hours in the
kitchen!
This striped one was the most time consuming and you could just as easily have fun with only two stripes instead of three:)
This is a three step process, but it's so simple!
For the triple stripe popsicle pictured above, here's what I did:
1st Layer-
1 1/2 cups frozen mixed
berries
1 tsp vanilla
1/8 tsp
stevia
1 cup water
Place ingredients in blender, blend well and pour into popsicle forms to fill 1/3 of each. Place wooden popsicle sticks into the mixture. You'll be pouring the following layers in around the stick. Freeze for about an hour.
2nd Layer-
Organic vanilla yogurt. Just pour some yogurt in to fill popsicle form 2/3 of the way full. Freeze for about an hour.
3rd Layer-
1 cup frozen blueberries
1 small peach
1/8 tsp stevia
1 cup water
Blend in blender until smooth and add to fill each popsicle mold. Freeze and enjoy!
Starburst Popsicles
I made the starburst popsicles with the leftover mixture from the 1st layer
above. Fill half of each popsicle form with the berry mixture. Use a funnel to
add organic vanilla yogurt to each to fill to the top. Place lid on and freeze.
When these are done, you will have popsicles that are all white in the
center. Good way to make a creamsicle too! These are so simple and were a huge
hit with the kids.

Pina Colada Pops
These are my favorite! So easy.
Here's what I used:
1/4 cup coconut cream which I purchased in a can at Trader Joe's
1/2 cup frozen pineapples
1 banana
1 tsp vanilla
Throw it all in the blender and blend. Fill popsicle molds and freeze. Especially good on a hot, sunny day!
