I am so excited to welcome our special guest from Natural Girl Diary who is sharing a “cool” treat that is perfect for your 4th of July party! This is a multi-flavored, nutritious frozen treat you’ll be proud to serve your kids. Sound good? Let’s getting creating:
Supplies:
Let’s Begin!
Step 1.Puree 1 & 1/2 cups strawberries (green tops removed) and pour into first 1/3 of popsicle molds. Cover and freeze for about an hour.
Step 2.
Remove from freezer, add 2nd layer of coconut milk. Or blend 1/2 can coconut milk with with 1/2 banana for a banana-coconut flavor. Cover with foil and insert sticks. Freeze another hour.
Step 3.
Remove from freezer and add blueberries (optional).
Step 4.
Add blueberry yogurt, cover and freeze another hour, or overnight.
While you wait…..make the “fireworks” drip guards
Use colorful cupcake liners ~ flatten and cut in towards center ~ or use construction paper….
1. Cut 4-inch circles out of construction paper, cut fringed strips towards center circle (center circle approx. the size of a nickel).
2. Fold the circle in half and cut a small triangle in the center of the circle by snipping two angled cuts.
3. When you open the circle, you should have a small diamond shape. Insert the stick so the drawn circle (if you made one) faces down.
Serve!
Pop the frozen treats out of molds, add a festive “fireworks” drip-guard & serve!

No time for popsicles? You can also add the drip guards to straws!
“Fireworks” straws will encourage your kids to drink plenty of fluids and stay hydrated on hot summer days.

Thanks soi much for your post! We are a relatively new “dye”free family and holidays are the worst! Sometimes can be so hard to still have fun with food without using dyes. Kids are going to love these! Thanks for the fun reminder!
