Ingredients

RED LAYER

1 cup strawberries or raspberries
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
1 tablespoon water if needed, for blending

WHITE LAYER

¾ cup Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
½ teaspoon vanilla extract

BLUE LAYER

1 cup blueberries
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
1 tablespoon water if needed, for blending

Instructions

FOR THE RED LAYER

Blend the strawberries (or raspberries) with honey and a little water, until smooth.
Fill popsicle molds 1/3 of the way up. Place mold in the freezer for about 30 minutes to firm up.

ADD THE WHITE LAYER

In a small bowl combine the Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla.
Add the yogurt mixture on top of the frozen red layer, filling each popsicle mold about 2/3 of the way. Return the mold to the freezer for 30-60 minutes, until firm but not solid (you still need to insert the popsicle sticks in a later step).

ADD THE BLUE LAYER

Blend the blueberries with honey and a little water, until smooth.
Add the blueberry mixture on top of the frozen white layer, filling each popsicle mold to the top. Insert popsicle sticks into the molds and return the mold to the freezer for at least 4 hours, or overnight, till frozen solid.
When ready to serve, run the popsicle molds under warm water for a 10-20 seconds and pull gently to release the popsicles.

Notes

Berries: Feel free to sub raspberries for strawberries - both have a vibrant color we need for the red layer. When using frozen berries, let them defrost before blending to make it easier to pour the mixture in to the molds.

Sweetener: Honey or maple syrup both work well - you need to use a liquid sweetener as it is being added to cold ingredients.

Yogurt: Full fat yogurt works best for a creamy texture. You can sub vanilla yogurt (in which case you won't need to add the vanilla or sweetener). For a dairy free alternative you can use coconut milk.

Freezing time: This may vary depending on your freezer, but for each layer you want it to firm up enough to layer the next color, but not be so frozen that you can't insert the popsicle stick at the end.
