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!
