Equipment

Rocket Pop Molds

Ingredients

1½ cup strawberries (stems discarded; if using frozen, thaw first)
1½ cup very ripe banana (about 1 large banana)
1½ cup wild blueberries (look in the freezer aisle or use regular ones; if using frozen thaw first)

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Starting with the Strawberry Layer, blend the berries until smooth. Poor into the mold, filling about 1/3 of the way. Freeze for about 10 minutes or until just starting to freeze.
Make the Banana Layer, blending the banana until smooth. Add to the mold, filling to about 2/3 full to make the white layer. Freeze for about 10 minutes or until just starting to freeze.
Make the Blueberry Layer, blending the berries until smooth. Add to the mold, filling to the top. Add the sticks and freeze until firm, about 4-6 hours or overnight.
(If you have leftover puree, stir into plain yogurt to make flavored yogurt or freeze in an ice cube tray to add to future smoothies.)
Serve. (If using a popsicle mold with a cover, run it under hot water for about 10 seconds or let sit at room temperature for a few minutes to loosen easily.)

Notes

You can make these in a popsicle mold or in small disposable bathroom cups with a popsicle stick inserted into the center.
If the bottom layer is too firm to push the stick into after you add the third layer, simply let them sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes to soften slightly. Push the stick in, then freeze.
You can use fresh or frozen fruit for these. If using frozen fruit, thaw first so it's easy to blend.
Sweeten to taste (sweetness will vary based on the flavor of your fruit).
Store popsicles in molds in a zip top storage bag for up to 1 month.
To make without a blender, use three flavors of yogurt—strawberry, vanilla or plain, and blueberry. The color will be softer, but the flavor and texture is very yummy.
