Cook Time: 4 hourshrs
Servings: 6popsicles
Ingredients
2cups473mL pure coconut water
5-10drops all natural blue food coloring**optional
1tspmaple syrup or honeyoptional, *see notes below for low carb option*, omit for Whole30
1cup145g organic blueberries
6-8large organic strawberriescut into star shape if desired***
1/2cup60g cubed fresh coconut meat
Instructions
Combine coconut water, natural blue coloring, and sweetener of choice (if using) in a glass measuring cup.
Distribute fruit among the popsicle molds. If you have cut the strawberries into stars and want those to be visible, make sure to lay them along the "front" of your popsicle and wedge them into place with other fruit.
Place on finger on top of the fruit to keep it in place, then pour coconut water to the fill line. Insert the popsicle stick top, secure in place, then repeat with remaining popsicles.
Place in freezer for about 4 hours or until frozen solid.
When ready to eat, place each popsicle under hot running water for about 10 seconds to help loosen the mold. Enjoy!
Notes
*For a low carb version, omit the sweetener altogether (they are still amazing without any extra sweetener!) or use something like Lakanto maple flavored syrup or Sweet Drops liquid stevia.**I used the Whole Foods 365 brand of food coloring, available at Whole Foods Market, but these would also work if you don't have a Whole Foods nearby. The amount of blue food coloring will vary depending on the brand you choose and how blue you want the popsicles to be. ***I used these star shaped cookie/fondant cutters! So cute!
