Red, White, and Blue Pops
With a strawberry-banana top, a blueberry-grape bottom, and a vanilla yogurt middle, these patriotic frozen treats are fun to make and even more fun to eat.
Ingredients
- 2 cups (280 g) frozen strawberries
- 1 cup (240 ml) water
- 1 medium (120 g) banana, peeled
- 4 cups (960 ml) plain dairy free yogurt, or low fat vanilla yogurt
- 2 cups (300 g) green grapes
- 2 cups (280 g) frozen blueberries
Directions
- First layer: Place strawberries, water, and banana into the Vitamix container and secure the lid.
- Start the blender on its lowest speed, then quickly increase to its highest speed, using the tamper to press ingredients toward the blades. Blend for 30 seconds. Using a teaspoon, fill each popsicle mold 1/3 full.
- Second layer: Using a teaspoon, layer yogurt over the strawberry banana layer.
- Third layer: Place grapes and blueberries into the Vitamix container and secure the lid.
- Start the blender on its lowest speed, then quickly increase to its highest speed, using the tamper to press ingredients toward the blades. Blend for 30 seconds. Using a teaspoon, fill each popsicle maker slightly below full.
