Lightly sweetened, these are a healthy alternative to store bought frozen treats.<\/p>\n<p>Before I give you instructions, I have a few tips:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I originally wanted to use pineapple and coconut milk for the white layer, but it took too much pineapple to achieve a flavorful mixture,\u00a0which made it yellow&#8230;and I really wanted white. \u00a0So, lemon and coconut were my Plan B, which worked beautifully. You could also add a bit of Greek Yogurt if you&#8217;d like. Heavy cream will curdle. (Ask me how I know.)<\/li>\n<li>You can make these without the gelatin, but they will be a little bit icier. Your call!<\/li>\n<li>The blueberry layer is blended, and has a bit of a pulpy texture. I don&#8217;t mind it at all, but if you do you can try straining it before adding the gelatin mixture &#8211; and then add a little juice or water to make at least 6 ounces.<\/li>\n<li>Speaking of blueberries, I used my favorite frozen Wild blueberries, which were a lot more burgundy than blue&#8230;more the color of huckleberries. Try using regular blueberries for a truer blue color.<\/li>\n<li>Make sure you give each color adequate freezer time before adding the next layer, and keep the molds level. That will give you nice, crisp lines between each layer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Here&#8217;s how I made these refreshing pops:<\/p>\n<div class=\"easyrecipe\" data-rating=\"0\">\t<link itemprop=\"image\" href=\"http:\/\/www.therowdybaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Patriotic-Fruit-Pops-horizontal-watermarked-1000x288.jpg\" \/>\n<div class=\"item ERName\">Patriotic Fruit Pops<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERClear\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Author: <span class=\"author\">The Rowdy Baker<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERSummary summary\">This recipe makes six 3-ounce frozen pops. There may be a little of each flavor left over. If so, pour it into a paper cup or ice cube tray and freeze just as you would the pops. These are great to drop into a glass of sparkling water! You will need less than 1 package of gelatin for all three flavors.

Stir and set aside.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">In a blender or food processor, blend the strawberries until smooth. Add the warm gelatin mixture and blend briefly. If mixture is too thick to pour or spoon into molds, add 1 tablespoon water and blend.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Fill molds 1\/3 full and freeze for 2 hours, or until firm.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">WHITE:<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">In a small bowl or ramekin, sprinkle 1\/4 teaspoon gelatin over 1 tablespoon cold water. Allow mixture to sit for 5 minutes.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Add 2 tablespoons of sugar and 1 tablespoon hot water and stir thoroughly. Microwave on high for 10 seconds.

Add coconut milk to equal 3\/4 cups liquid.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Remove molds from freezer and add about the same amount of lemon mixture as the strawberry. This should fill the molds approximately 2\/3 full.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Freeze for approximately 1 hour.
