Grab some of summer’s fresh berries, a touch of sugar, and your favorite yogurt to easily create a festive cool dessert.
What do you do when you have an overload of summer strawberries? Well, you make red, white, and blue popsicles, just in time for Independence Day.
I’m pretty much obsessed with making popsicles – because not only are they easy, but I can make them fairly healthy. Plus, when you use pure ingredients, you can see and taste the difference. 
Here’s the scoop: you don’t even need a strict recipe to make these cool treats (but we will give you one just in case). Just follow these steps:
First, I muddle the berries separately with some raw sugar. Adjust sweetness based on your tastes. The sugar helps break down the berries and release their juices, creating a sort of ‘jam’. Don’t muddle too much; you still want chunks of the berries in there.
Next, layer the popsicle molds in this order: muddled strawberries, yogurt, and muddled blueberries. Feel free to use your yogurt of choice. I used Vanilla Greek Yogurt.
And there you have it – gorgeous looking popsicles for July 4th!
