Star Wars has always been the favorite of adults and children alike, especially with Disney’s taking over of the franchise. Do you and your children absolutely love Star Wars? May the fourth be with you! Star Wars day falls on a Saturday this year so why not have an epic galactic movie marathon and make themed treats? Here is how you can make your very own lightsaber vegan popsicles to enjoy this May the 4th.

Lightsaber Vegan Popsicles

(Each flavor yields 2)

Ingredients for red popsicles:

• 1 1/4 cup fresh or frozen chopped strawberries
• 2 fresh mint leaves
• 1/2 tbsp coconut milk

Ingredients for blue popsicles:

• 1 cup coconut milk
• 1/4 cup full fat coconut cream
• 1 tbsp blue spirulina (you may adjust the amount depending how blue you want the popsicles to turn out)
• 1 date

Note: You ideally will want popsicle molds that are long and thin like this one instead of the large flat ones! I’m a major Star Wars nerd and specifically have lightsaber molds, and you can find a similar one here.

Ingredients for green popsicles:

• 1 1/4cup fresh or frozen chopped kiwi
• 1/2 tsp lime juice
• 1/2 tbsp coconut milk

Instructions:

1. With one set of ingredients at a time, blend all listed items in a high powered blender until smooth.
2. Pour the mixture in your popsicle molds, making sure that the popsicle stick or reusable popsicle holder is inserted properly.
3. Freeze for 6-8 hours and enjoy! These lightsabers probably won’t last in a galactic showdown but they’re sure to make every member of the family a strong warrior!

Want more colors? Simply choose your favorite fruit, add a small amount of coconut milk, and blend! Try anything from peaches to a medley of berries.

Want to make multicolored lightsaber pops?

Your children can’t decide which flavor they want the most Maybe a duo-colored or tri-colored lightsaber vegan popsicles with minimal effort! Carefully pour one color at a time into the same mold, minding the sides of the popsicle mold. The mixtures should be thick enough that they can rest on top of each other, with the exception of the blue mixture being runnier.
