Is it getting hot where you live?  It is certainly getting warmer here!  Why not celebrate the patriotic holidays of summer with some Patriotic Popsicles made with Gatorade & fresh fruit?!

My house runs on popsicles.  I am not even kidding.  Do you want to know who demands them and eats them the most?  My husband!  Yep, my husband.  He is a popsicle addict!  My kids follow closely behind their daddy and while my husband can be in charge of his own caloric and sugar intake, I am in charge of my kids.  I made these with Cherry Frost Gatorade!  Fruity flavor, added electrolytes for summer activities and fresh fruit to keep them happy!

I always get intimidated with layered popsicles.  I don’t know why that is, because frankly they are not hard to make and they say we eat with our eyes first, right?  So I think they look really pretty!  They do take some extra time for the layers but it’s totally worth it and will make your patriotic party extra fabulous!

Instructions

 

• Slice your strawberries into small bite sized pieces. I either cut in quarters or eighths depending on size.
• Fill the lower 1/3 or your popsicle mold or cup with strawberries and add enough Gatorade to cover strawberries.
• Freeze until firm on top.
• Next fill the next 1/3 of the popsicle mold with gatorade only.
• Freeze until firm on top but not frozen through. You still want to be able to add the popsicle stick in.
• Add blueberries to the top and then cover with more Gatorade.
• Insert your popsicle mold lids or popsicle sticks if using cups.
• Freeze until frozen solid.
