3-Ingredient Patriotic Fruit Pops
These easy-to-make popsicles are perfect for the 4th of July or any summer occasion. Made with only three ingredients (strawberries, bananas, and blueberries), they're a refreshing and healthy treat.
Equipment
- Blender
- Popsicle molds (6 star-shaped) Any shape can be used
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 pint fresh strawberries about 2 cups, cleaned and hulled
- 4 yellow bananas peeled, overripe bananas work best
- 0.5 pint fresh blueberries about 1 cup, cleaned. Frozen blueberries work in a pinch
Instructions
- Blend strawberries until smooth. Pour into molds, filling each about 1/3 full. Freeze for 45 minutes.
- Blend bananas until smooth. Pour evenly over the frozen strawberry layer, filling molds about 2/3 full. Freeze for another 45 minutes.
- Blend blueberries until smooth. Pour evenly over the frozen banana layer, filling molds completely.
- Insert popsicle sticks into each mold. Gently push them in to avoid cracking the frozen layers.
- Freeze for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
- Run molds under warm water for a few seconds to release pops before serving.
Notes
Use ripe fruit for best flavor and texture. Overripe bananas are ideal. Don't overfill molds. Prep ahead by blending fruit layers the night before.
