Blue Spirulina & Blueberry Popsicles
**Ingredients:**
- **For the Popsicle Base:**
- 1 can (400ml) full-fat coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons @theorganiclabs blue spirulina powder
- 2-3 tablespoons maple syrup (or any sweetener of choice)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- **For the Blueberry Filling:**
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup (or to taste)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
**Instructions:**
1. **Prepare the Blueberry Filling:**
- In a small saucepan, combine the blueberries, maple syrup, and lemon juice.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries begin to break down and release their juices (about 5-7 minutes).
- If you prefer a thicker filling, dissolve the cornstarch in a little bit of water and add it to the blueberry mixture, stirring constantly until it thickens.
- Once done, remove from heat and allow the filling to cool completely.
2. **Make the Popsicle Base:**
- In a blender, combine the coconut milk, @theorganiclabs blue spirulina powder, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
- Blend until the mixture is smooth and the spirulina is fully incorporated, giving the mixture a beautiful blue color.
3. **Assemble the Popsicles:**
- Pour a small amount of the blue spirulina mixture into each popsicle mold, filling them about halfway.
- Add a spoonful of the blueberry filling to the center of each mold.
- Top off each mold with more of the blue spirulina mixture until they are full.
- Insert the popsicle sticks and gently tap the molds on the counter to remove any air bubbles.
4. **Freeze:**
- Place the popsicle molds in the freezer and freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until fully set.
5. **Serve:**
- Once frozen, remove the popsicles from the molds by running warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds.
- Enjoy these refreshing, nutrient-packed blue spirulina and blueberry popsicles on a hot summer day!
