Coconut Berry Popsicles are a great way to refresh or stay cool this July 4th. These pops are made with coconut water, strawberries and blueberries.
I bet you through I wasn’t going to do any July 4th special features. How could I not?!
I have quite a few recipes that are great for barbeques and picnic celebrations but I had to make something red, white and blue. You have to have the festive colors when throwing a party or just celebrating with your family.
These pops are very easy to make and are ready within a few hours. I am in love with coconut water and making popsicles out of it. It’s very light, low in calories and refreshing. You can eat several of these popsicles and not feel guilty!
July 4th Coconut Berry Popsicles
Ingredients
- 17 oz container of coconut water
- 2 tbs of sugar + 1 tbs hot water to make simple syrup
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- 1/2 cup finely chopped strawberries
Instructions
-
In a medium mixing bowl, combine coconut water and simple syrup. Mix until well combined.
-
Separate the berries between the popsicle molds.
-
Slowly fill the molds with coconut water about 3/4 of the way, so that it doesn't overflow when you add the sticks.
-
Freeze for at least 5 hours.
