INGREDIENTS
6 medium strawberries
3 tbsp honey
½ cup + 3 tbsp coconut water
¼ cup blueberries, frozen
¾ cup full-fat coconut milk (canned)
½ Color Kitchen Color packets (blue and pink)
DIRECTIONS
To make the red layer, add the strawberries, 1 tbsp honey, and 3 tbsp coconut water and a ½ pink color packet (for brighter color) to a high-speed blender and blend until smooth. Pour the contents into a separate container and rinse out the blender.
To make the white layer, add 2 tbsp honey, ½ cup coconut water, and the coconut milk to a high-speed blender and blend until smooth. Pour half of the white mixture into a separate container.
To make the blue layer, add the blueberries and ½ a blue color packet (or ½ pink and ½ blue for brighter purple) to the blender with the remaining white mixture. Blend until smooth.
To assemble the popsicles, pour the blue layer into each mold so that it fills ⅓ of the mold. Use a paper towel to clean any drips on the inside of the mold where the next layers will go. Freeze for 45 minutes.
Once frozen, create red and white stripes by pouring the white mixture into each mold so that it fills about 1/6th of mold and freeze for 35-40 minutes. Repeat this process with a red layer and another white layer, freezing each layer separately for about 30 minutes. Pour the last red layer into the mold and insert a popsicle stick into each mold and freeze overnight.
To help release the popsicles, run the molds under warm water for 15 seconds.
