Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries (hulled)
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Small popsicle molds with sticks
- Optional: a pinch of chia seeds in each layer for texture and nutrition boost
Instructions
- Prepare the Pink Layer: Rinse strawberries and remove stems. In a blender, combine 1 cup strawberries, 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon honey (if using), 1/4 cup almond milk, and 1 teaspoon lemon juice. Blend until smooth and creamy. Stir in a pinch of chia seeds if desired. This takes about 5 minutes.
- Pour the Pink Layer: Spoon or pour the pink smoothie into popsicle molds, filling halfway. Tap molds gently to remove air bubbles. Freeze for about 30 minutes until firm but not fully frozen.
- Prepare the Blue Layer: Rinse blueberries. In the blender, combine 1 cup blueberries, 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon honey (optional), 1/4 cup almond milk, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Blend until smooth. Stir in chia seeds if desired. Takes about 5 minutes.
- Add the Blue Layer: Once the pink layer is semi-frozen, pour the blue smoothie on top, filling molds to the top. Tap molds gently to remove bubbles and blend layers slightly for smooth transition. Insert popsicle sticks if not already placed.
- Freeze Completely: Freeze pops for at least 4 hours or overnight until fully set.
- Unmold and Serve: Run warm water briefly over molds to loosen pops. Gently remove and enjoy immediately or store in freezer bags for up to two weeks.
Notes
Blend each fruit layer separately to keep vibrant colors distinct. Let each layer firm up before adding the next to avoid blending colors. Use ripe fruits for natural sweetness and skip honey if desired. Run warm water briefly on molds to ease unmolding. Dairy-free versions can use coconut or almond yogurt and maple syrup instead of honey.
