RED WHITE AND BLUEBERRY YOGURT POPSICLES

Show your colours this summer time with those wholesome patriotic Red White and Blueberry Yogurt Popsicles!  Kids of every age love those berry-licious frozen treats, so layer up a batch this Memorial Day or 4th of July!

Ingredients 1 heaping cup raspberries 1 cup blueberries 1 cup vanilla flavored Greek yogurt Instructions Using a small four cup meals processor, or blender, puree the raspberries till smooth. Set aside. Do the identical with the blueberries. (If your blueberries are tremendous purple, upload somewhat blue meals coloring.) Put the yogurt and every of the berry purees in small measuring cups with spouts. The objective is to thin them in basic terms somewhat so they're pourable. Use water for the yogurt and the raspberries, and, depending at the colour of your blueberries, you possibly can use water, or yogurt in case you happen to want to enliven your 'blue'. Keep those cups chilling within the refrigerator whilst you're now not utilizing them. To layer your pops, soar by pouring somewhat of the blueberry within the backside of every mold. The in basic terms tough section to those popsicles is getting the layers in with out too a lot spillage to mar your stripes. Use my images as a tough ebook for how a lot blue you want. Don't get too fussy, it must seem to be rustic! Put the mold within the freezer and freeze till firm, no less than an hour, or more. Layer somewhat little bit of yogurt into every mold for the subsequent stripe. You may be capable to see via the facet of the mold to verify your progress. At this point, hide the best of the mold with foil, and insert the popsicle sticks. Make certain to get the stick somewhat bit into the frozen layer so they'll stand straight. Put once more into the freezer till solid. Remove the foil at this stage, you may now not want it for the reason that stick is in and also you want to layer. Next comes your raspberry stripe, and so forth till the molds are filled. Make certain to freeze every stripe till strong earlier than including the next. Don;t fear if the stripes are uneven, but do attempt to blank up any dribbles as you go. I used a popsicle keep on with scrape down the insides of the mold after every stripe. Once crammed and fully frozen solid, you possibly can un-mold your pops. Fill the sink with hot water. Remove the foil, and immerse the mold simply as a whole lot as the lip, being cautious to now not permit any water splash onto the top. Hold it for 30 seconds, remove, and attempt to pull the pops out. If they do now not slide out, immerse once more for in basic terms a couple of seconds. I suggest retaining the popsicles within the mold till you're prepared to serve, or, in case you happen to are running in batches, wrap every pop speedy in waxed paper or placed correct into a baggie and placed once more within the freezer. I do now not suggest making those extra than a day in advance.

I’ll eventually get striped popsicles out of my system, but with Memorial Day (and the 4th!) coming up, I simply needed to attempt these.  You don’t ought to be a flag waver to flaunt somewhat Americana this season.

There’s no meals coloring or further sugar in those patriotic treats… simply  plump ripe blueberries and raspberries (or strawberries).  Greek yogurt gives the creamy white stripes.

If you do a easy “red white and blue food” seek on Pinterest, you’re going to see some day-glo  treats out there.  I’m all for nationwide pride, but now not with blue jello and red dye.   These popsicles are truly healthy, so which you simply possibly can really sense nice about displaying your colours , and consuming them too.  I use contemporary summer time strawberries for the stripes, natural yogurt for the white, and blueberries for the patch of blue.  Old Glory by no means tasted so good!

You’ll desire a popsicle mold for this project, as nicely as some variety of blender or meals processor to make your berry purees.  You too can use paper cups as molds in a pinch.

These natural fruit popsicles melt fast, so don’t take them out of the freezer till you’re prepared to devour or serve them, they won’t final lengthy within the hot sun.

Lots of you've requested about what popsicle mold I use. I use one like THIS ONE simply due to the fact they're robust and I just like the vintage popsicle shape. I don’t use the plastic best that comes with it, although as it could really get caught whilst the sticks aren’t perfectly straight. A easy foil best works best, and I insert the popsicle sticks proper via the foil. You can discover wood popsicle sticks HERE
