How to Make Healthy Red White and Blue Popsicles
Time needed: 5 hours and 15 minutes
- Make the Red Layer
Add the strawberries and pink lemonade to a blender. Blend until completely smooth. Pour the mixture evenly into the popsicle molds, filling each mold about one-third full. Freeze for 1 hour or until mostly set.
- Make the White Layer
Add the coconut cream, yogurt, and maple syrup to the blender. Blend until smooth and creamy. Pour the mixture over the frozen red layer until the molds are about two-thirds full. Return to the freezer for another hour.
- Make the Blue Layer
Add the remaining coconut cream, yogurt, maple syrup, and blue spirulina to the blender. Blend until smooth. You could also blend the spirulina with coconut water or a clear fruit juice like white grape or apple for less creamy layer. For extra fruit flavor, add 1/4 cup frozen blueberries and blend again. Place the mixture in the refrigerator while the white layer freezes. Once ready, remove the molds from the freezer and use a small knife to carefully create a slit in the center of each popsicle so the sticks can slide all the way in. Pour the blue mixture over the white layer until the molds are full then insert the popsicle sticks. Freeze for 2 to 3 more hours, or until completely firm.
- Serve
Run the outside of the popsicle mold under warm (not hot) water for 10 to 20 seconds.
Gently pull the popsicles out and enjoy.

Trish’s Tips to Make Layered Popsicles Easy
- Freeze each layer completely before adding the next for clean, defined stripes.
- Use full-fat coconut cream for the creamiest texture.
- Greek yogurt or skyr creates a thicker, creamier popsicle with more protein.
- If your blender struggles with small amounts, double the recipe and make extra popsicles.
- Blending blueberries into the blue layer, can make the popiscles turn a deeper purplish-blue. For the brightest blue color, skip the blueberries.
