3-Ingredient Patriotic Fruit Pops

Blended strawberries, bananas and blueberries layered and frozen into 3-Ingredient Patriotic Fruit Pops for a fun and healthy summer treat!

Fresh, Frozen, Fun

Fresh strawberry, banana and blueberry puree frozen into fruity red, white and blue stripes–these Patriotic Fruit Pops are perfect for celebrating Independence Day! They’re easy, simple, wholesome and the whole family will love how delicious they are! Just make sure to build in plenty of time for the layers to freeze properly, and you’re all set!

Cool Fun Under the Hot Sun

We usually head to Oklahoma for Memorial Day and the 4th of July to celebrate with family and friends. It’s always filled with great food, fun and fireworks!

And it’s usually very hot in Oklahoma over these patriotic holidays, so we like to have lots of fresh fruit and cool treats on hand to beat the heat with. The kids love popsicles! They’d eat them all day if we’d let them, so I decided we’d start making our own and, of course, I had to make them festive!

Tip! Make the Night Before

Little do they know these pops are made with pure fruit and they LOVE them! Strawberries for the red, bananas for the white and blueberries for the blue. So fun and yummy yum!

If you’ve never made your own pops, you should! They’re so easy. For these pops, I just layered blended strawberries, bananas and blueberries in these star shaped popsicle molds (freezing for about 45 minutes between each layer) and then freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm. Then you just run them under warm water to release the star-shaped mold and tada! Perfect red, white and blue pops…

If you don’t want to buy a special mold, you can always use small paper cups and popsicle sticks! They still make great pops the kid will love! They’re super healthy and so refreshing that I’m planning to keep our freezer stocked with them all summer. Such a great poolside treat!

How to Make Patriotic Fruit Pops

• Blend the strawberries in the blender until smooth.
• Pour into the star shaped molds, filling each mold 1/3 of the way full with the blended strawberries.
• Freeze molds for about 45 minutes.
• Blend the bananas until smooth.

• Pour the blended banana evenly on top of the frozen strawberry layer, filling each mold 2/3 of the way full. Freeze cups for another 45 minutes.
• Blend the blueberries until smooth. Pour evenly on top of the frozen banana layers, filling each mold completely full.

• Gently insert the popsicle sticks into the center of each mold, pressing it through the blueberry layer and into the banana layer.
• Place the molds back in the freezer for at least 4 hours or overnight until firm.
• When ready to enjoy the popsicles, simply run the molds under warm water to release each pop. Enjoy!
