    Red White & Blue Popsicles. This red, white and blue popsicle bomb pop copycat recipe is super easy to make!

    My Red White & Blue Popsicles recipe is:

    • Easy to make
    • Refreshing
    • Healthy
    • Good for your gut
    • Gluten free
    • Naturally colored

    My festive red white & blue American popsicles are a healthy patriotic treat for summer time! Summer is here and that means Memorial Day and 4th of July. What better way to celebrate than with these healthy and delicious Red White & Blue Popsicles! Kefir is a great source of probiotics to keep your gut healthy! If you are vegan, you can get coconut milk kefir or full fat coconut milk.

    4TH OF JULY POPSICLES ARE AN EXCELLENT HEALTHY PATRIOTIC POPSICLE RECIPE!

    WHAT POPSICLE IS RED WHITE AND BLUE?

    This popsicle is made with flavored gut healthy kefir and mixed with super food all natural food coloring powders for a healthy and festive treat!

    WHAT IS RED, WHITE BLUE POPSICLE FLAVOR?

    The red flavor is strawberry, the white is vanilla and the blue is blueberry!

    TIPS FOR MAKING THE BEST RED WHITE AND BLUE POPSICLES

    USE FULL FAT KEFIR FOR CREAMY POPSICLES. If you want to make your popsicles creamy not icy, use whole milk kefir. The fat in the milk will give you a creamy popsicle texture.

    ADD SWEETENER IF YOU LIKE SWEET POPSICLES. While the flavored kefir in my recipes is flavorful, it is not as sweet as red white and blue bomb pops. If you want your 4th of July popsicles to be sweeter, add honey or maple syrup to the mix.

    FREEZE EACH LAYER SEPARATELY FOR DISTINCT LAYERS. If you don't want your layers to swirl together at all, freeze each layer for at least 1 hour before adding the next layer.

    FREEZE YOUR RED WHITE AND BLUE POPS OVERNIGHT BEFORE TRANSFERRING TO STORAGE CONTAINERS. This will allow your popsicles to set completely.

    FAQ'S

    Frequently asked questions about my healthy red white and blue popsicle recipe.

    HOW DO YOU MAKE POPSICLES CREAMY NOT ICY?

    Use full fat kefir to make your popsicles creamy not icy.

    WHAT FLAVOR IS BLUE POPSICLE?

    Blue popsicle is a blueberry flavor. Or, if you can find blue raspberry kefir you will get a blue raspberry flavor.

    WHAT FLAVOR IS THE WHITE POPSICLE?

    The white popsicle is vanilla flavored.

    HOW DO YOU MAKE A PATRIOTIC POPSICLE RECIPE?

    MAKE MY RED WHITE AND BLUE POPSICLES

    My homemade 4th of July popsicles are super easy to make!

    INGREDIENTS NEEDED

    • Vanilla kefir
    • Blueberry kefir
    • Strawberry kefir
    • Blue spirulina
    • Beet root or pink pitaya powder

    EQUIPMENT NEEDED

    • Popsicle molds
    • Popsicle sticks
    • Flat container for storage

    Start your red white and blue pops by mixing up your ingredients! There is NO BLENDING required for this popsicle recipe! All you have to do is use your bottled kefir, and add in the powdered colorings. Shake and then pour into your popsicle molds.

    BLUE POPSICLE LAYER

    For the blue layer I mixed the kefir with blue spirulina.

    RED POPSICLE LAYER

    For the red layer, I mixed the kefir with beet root powder!

    WHITE POPSICLE LAYER

    For the white popsicle layer, I used vanilla kefir.

    If you have a FULL bottle of kefir, you can also add your kefir to a bowl and use a whisk to stir it with the food powder.

    HOW TO FILL YOUR POPSICLE MOLDS

    In my popsicle molds, I started with a blue layer. Pour the blue kefir about ¼ way up the mold.

    Next, I heavily poured in half of the vanilla kefir. Pour the white so that the mold is now ½ filled. I wanted the white to mix with the blue a bit and look kind of like the stars in the American flag.

    Then I gently poured the red layer on top of the first white layer. Pour until the mold is ¾ full.

    For the final layer in my red white & blue popsicles, I gently poured the other half of the vanilla kefir until the popsicle mold was full.

    You can also freeze each layer after pouring in your kefir to get distinct stripes on your popsicles.

    Make sure you freeze your popsicles AT LEAST 3 hours!! I like to let mine freeze overnight to get really hard!

    Happy Independence day,

    Memorial Day,

    Labor day!

    Equipment

    • popsicle molds
    • popsicle sticks

    Ingredients
      

    Blue layer:

    • 1 cup blueberry kefir or vanilla with extra blue spirulina
    • 1 teaspoon blue spirulina

    Red layer:

    • 1 cup strawberry kefir
    • 3 teaspoon beet root powder or pink pitaya powder (sweeter flavor)

    White layer:

    • 1 cup vanilla kefir

    Instructions
     

    • Start with the blue layer: mix 1 cup of vanilla kefir with 1 teaspoon of blue spirulina. Pour evenly between the 10 popsicle molds.
    • For the red layer, mix the strawberry kefir with the beet root powder. Make sure there are no bits of beet root powder left over. Pour gently over the blue layer.
    • Last, gently pour the vanilla kefir over the red layer.
    • Freeze for at least 3 hours, but preferably overnight!

    Notes

    I split the white layer half on top of the blue, and the other half at the end, I thought that a little white in the blue made it more of an American flag with the white stars in the blue!

      I LOVE that these are made with kefir and you've kept the colouring natural too - and they look amazing for the 4th of July! Kefir is such an underrated drink, I think, but I love how good it is for our gut!
