Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved

2 ripe kiwis, peeled and chopped

1 cup coconut water (or substitute with plain water for a lighter option)

2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup (adjust based on your desired sweetness)

1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice

A pinch of sea salt (optional, for enhanced flavor)

Instructions
 

Blend the Strawberries: In a high-speed blender, add the hulled halved strawberries, coconut water, honey (or agave syrup), freshly squeezed lime juice, and a pinch of sea salt. Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth. Taste the blended mixture and adjust the sweetness by adding more honey if desired. Once blended, pour the mixture into a mixing bowl and set it aside.

    Prepare the Kiwi Layer: Without rinsing the blender, add the peeled and chopped kiwis. To facilitate smoother blending, add a splash of water or coconut water. Blend until the mixture is mostly pureed but retains a slightly chunky texture for visual interest. Set this kiwi puree aside in a separate bowl.

      Layer the Popsicles: Grab your popsicle molds and carefully pour the strawberry mixture into each mold. Fill them about halfway full, making sure to tap the molds gently on the counter to release any trapped air bubbles.

        Add the Kiwi Layer: Next, using a spoon, carefully dollop the kiwi mixture over the strawberry layer in each mold. The kiwi should float nicely atop the strawberry, creating a striking two-toned effect. For a decorative touch, take a skewer or a popsicle stick and gently swirl the two mixtures together to create a marbled look.

          Insert Sticks: If your popsicle molds have built-in sticks, insert them now. If not, cover the molds with aluminum foil or plastic wrap to secure the mixture before placing them in the freezer.

            Freeze: Transfer the filled popsicle molds to the freezer. Allow them to freeze for a minimum of 4-6 hours, or until they are completely solid.

              Release the Popsicles: When you're ready to enjoy your popsicles, remove them from the freezer and run warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds to loosen them. Alternatively, you can gently twist the molds to help release the popsicles.

                Serve and Enjoy: Serve your eye-catching Strawberry Kiwi Popsicles immediately for a refreshing treat or store them in a freezer-friendly bag for later enjoyment!
