Red, White, and Blue Pops! Happy Fourth!

Greek Yogurt White and Blue Pops :)

These popsicles were so easy........ 2 cups of plain greek yogurt, 1/2 cup or orange juice, and 1 cup of blueberries..... oh and 1/4 cup of sweetener.  I used Maple Syrup!  Stir and pour into your mold of choice.  I only made a few to test but they were delicious and festive.  My son loved them.

These Firecracker pops took a little longer to layer but they were delicious and simple.   First layer of red was 1 cup of strawberries and a quarter cup of maple syrup blended.    White layer was 1 cup of greek yogurt and 1/4 cup maple syrup with 1/4 cup of unsweetened shredded coconut.  I used Bob's Red Mill coconut.  The last layer was 1 cup of blueberries with 1/4 maple syrup blended.

The consistency of your berries may vary, if you need to, add a little water for your puree if it needs more liquid or if you are using frozen berries.  Enjoy the process of using seasonal produce to fulfill your sweet-tooth and your nutritional needs :)

When removing the pops, I had to persuade them a little by running the outside of the mold under a little hot water to loosen it.
