Fourth of July is one my favorite times to make a holiday-themed dessert. There are so many great options and ideas that you can do with red, white, and blue colored foods, especially fruits and vegetables!
These easy-to-make, and fun-to-serve Greek yogurt pops are a healthy treat (sweetened with only fruits and raw honey) that will help keep you and your loved ones cool as the temperatures rise.
Popsicle molds OR paper cups OR plastic cups & tongue depressors
Directions
First, remove stems from strawberries and wash them.
Place the 2 cups of the strawberries in food processor or blender with 1/8 cup of water, and blend until pureed. Set aside in a separate bowl. *Note: Blending the strawberries in the blender first helps to avoid color-contamination.
Repeat step 2 with blueberries and set aside.
In a separate bowl, mix Stakich Raw Honey into Greek Yogurt thoroughly until well-combined. Add lemon juice if desired.
Fill each popsicle mold or plastic cup 1/3 of the way with strawberries, using a spoon to help level out your red-layer. Follow with Greek Yogurt, and then fill the final third of the popsicle mold with your blueberry mixture.
Freeze popsicles for 4 hours before serving. Enjoy!

Bee Pollen vs. Royal Jelly vs. Propolis: There are numerous bee products available, so let’s take a moment to examine the differences between bee pollen, royal jelly, and propolis. Bee products have been revered for thousands of years, trans-culturally, for nourishment, healing, and well-being. Today, they are being rediscovered as natural superfoods. Three of the most popular treasures of the hive are bee pollen, royal jelly, and propolis. They’re often combined, but each is also quite distinct in its origins, components and health benefits. Appreciating these differences can help you make the most of what nature’s hardest workers offer.
Royal jelly is the royal bee food and a super nutrient-rich substance and to keep its health benefits intact it needs to be stored properly. Knowing how to store it properly is essential to maintaining its potency. Whether you're using fresh royal jelly, freeze-dried royal jelly powder, or capsules, you need to be aware of their shelf life and best practices
Bee pollen is more than just a fad health product, it is a nutritional powerhouse and one of Mother Nature’s most complete superfoods. Bee pollen is a functional food praised for its beauty, health, and wellness benefits, being very rich in antioxidants, enzymes, vitamins (such as vitamin A, vitamin B and vitamin E), minerals (such as zinc, iron, magnesium and calcium) and much more.
Royal jelly is a thick, milky-white substance secreted by nurse bees (young worker bees) and is used to feed all larvae in the hive for the first few days of life. However, the real magic happens when one larva is exclusively fed royal jelly — this larva becomes the queen bee.
