🍧Steps to Make Fruit Popsicles
For more detail, visit the complete and printable recipe at the bottom of this post, but here are general steps.
Step 1: Blend popsicle base
In a high-speed blender, combine the yogurt, lemon juice, vanilla, frozen riced cauliflower, salt. Blend until smooth and thick, like a pourable smoothie. Add maple syrup if you’d like more sweetness.
Step 2: Make colors
Divide mixture in half. Set aside one half for "white", and divide the second half evenly into 5 bowls. Press fruit or add superfood powder to each bowl to create each of the 5 colors. Use a fork to puree the fruit; use spoons to stir making color uniform.
Step 3: Fill popsicle mold
Spoon white base into each mold, then add a color, then white, and keep alternating to create a tie-dye effect until the popsicle wells are full and your mixtures are gone.
Step 4: Freeze the popsicles
Place popsicle molds in the freezer. After 30 minutes, insert sticks. Freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight until solid.
Step 5: Unmold and Enjoy!
To release, run the molds under warm water for a few seconds. Store extra pops in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one month.
These Popsicles Feature a Natural Blue Color—No Artificial Dye
Finding a true blue hue in nature isn’t easy, but these popsicles use blue spirulina, a plant-based complete protein high in antioxidants, to create a vibrant aqua tone. It’s an Instagram-worthy superfood that adds both color and nutritional punch. For a budget-friendly swap, blueberries work too—but blue spirulina makes these truly standout in both health and color.
🧠Pro Tips for Perfect Popsicles
- No mold? Use 3 oz bathroom cups and cover with foil, poking a straw or stick through the center.
- No spirulina or matcha? Stick to fruit—these pops still turn out colorful and delicious.
- Kids' version? Skip the ginger and let them help layer the colors—great sensory activity!
- More contrast? Keep the white base thick so colors don’t blend.
- Travel hack: Wrap popsicles in parchment paper and store in a cooler for a few hours.
