SIRIOUSLY DELICIOUS
RAINBOW POPSICLES
By SIRI DALY
If I know one thing, it is that kids love
rainbows and kids love popsicles.
That is more than one thing, but I
can’t help it because I know so much.
I’m sure you are also aware that all
of us — kids and grownups alike —
eat first with our eyes, so anything
that is visually appealing is hard to
pass up. I had seen versions of these
beautiful creations on the internet,
and I was so excited to try out my
own recipe.
Makes 22
Hands-On Time: 25 Minutes
Total Time: 8 Hours, 25 Minutes
Blue Layer
1 cup fresh blueberries
1 cup vanilla whole-milk yogurt
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Green Layer
1 small ripe banana, sliced
1 cup baby spinach
1 cup vanilla whole-milk yogurt
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Red Layer
1 cup sliced fresh strawberries
1 cup vanilla whole-milk yogurt
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Orange Layer
1 cup
chopped
fresh peaches
1 cup vanilla
w h o l e - m i l k
yogurt
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon fresh lemon
juice
Process each layer separately
in a high-powered blender until
smooth. Pour the mixtures into
3-ounce ice pop molds, alternating
the colors. Top with a lid, and insert
craft sticks. Freeze for 8 to 12 hours.
Siriously Important:
When pouring the mixtures in the
popsicle molds, it’s helpful to think
about which mixtures are thicker
than others. Alternate thick and
thin mixtures so that they don’t
blend colors too much. Also, stir the
blueberry mixture before pouring
into the molds. The pectin will start
to make it gel a little if it sits too long.
Siriously Simple:
If you don’t want to make 22
popsicles, swirl the leftover
mixture in a glass and drink it
as a smoothie or prepare it as a
smoothie bowl.
