I remember the days when I used to eat pie, way before I was diagnosed with any gluten problems. And, way before I had multiple food sensitivities and allergies. Even so, I remember pie so well in my mind I can taste it. There is something about warmed melted blueberries that had me salivating. You see when you melt down blueberries, a thick sweet syrup forms, and alone, it tastes like a sweet pie without the crust! Healthier gluten-free blueberry pie is what I had in mind.

HOW TO CREATE A SUGAR-FREE POPSICLE:
- First, if the fruit is involved you stick with a low-glycemic fruit.
- A candida diet or low-sugar diet often uses Liquid Stevia as a sweetener and the pure form that is alcohol-free goes a LONG way in popsicles. Just a few drops can really make it sweet enough to call it a guilt-free sweet treat.
- The use of coconut is a great addition to a Candida or low-sugar diet. Coconut helps you stay away from sugar and keeps you satiated due to its healthy fat structure.
- Use regular raw oats for a lower-sugar option. For a sweeter option use gluten-free granola.
INGREDIENT PREVIEW

HOW TO MAKE THESE POPSICLES
Full recipe and directions in the recipe card below.
Step 1. First, break out your favorite popsicle mold, lid, and popsicle sticks. Then melt the blueberries in a microwave-safe bowl at 30-second intervals OR melt blueberries in a saucepan on low heat with a little bit of water, approx ⅛ cup total. When the blueberry ooze, bubble and get thick - they're ready. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 2. In a blender blast together yogurt, water, and stevia. Pour into a measuring cup and set aside. Measure oats or granola clusters (break them down) and set them aside.
Step 3. Pour yogurt mixture into each mold, about ¼-1/3 cup full. Followed by a sprinkle of oats or granola pieces into each mold followed by a small spoonful of melted blueberry mixture.
Step 4. Repeat step 3 until each popsicle mold is filled. Push blueberries and oats down as you fill each popsicle, and therefore can add more add-ins if you desire. Then add the popsicle sticks/lid and freeze for 6 hours or overnight.

- 1 cup unsweetened coconut yogurt
- ¾ cup spring water filtered
- 4-6 drops plain liquid stevia or vanilla liquid stevia alcohol-free
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- ¾ cup gluten-free rolled oats or granola clusters
Instructions
- First, break out your favorite popsicle mold/lid/popsicle sticks. Then melt the blueberries in a saucepan on medium heat OR in a microwave-safe bowl in the microwave at 30-second intervals with a few sprinkles of water if needed. You can use up to ⅛ cup of water if needed. When the blueberries start to ooze, get thick, and bubble, they're ready. Remove from heat, and set aside.
- In a high-speed blender blend the coconut yogurt, water, and stevia and mix till well blended. Pour into a measuring cup and set aside. Measure the oats or granola and set aside.
- Pour yogurt mixture into each mold, about ¼-1/3 cup full, followed by a few pieces of granola or raw oats, topped with a small spoonful of melted blueberries.
- Repeat step 3 until the popsicle molds are full. Here you can push the granola and blueberries down so you can add more add-ins if you desire. Cover the mold with the lid, add sticks, and freeze for 6 hours or overnight.
- To loosen popsicles out of their molds once frozen, run the mold under warm or hot water until you can wiggle the lid and popsicles out.
- Store the popsicles in the freezer in a sealed container or bag for up to 4 months.
Notes
- Remember, the sweetness that you taste from the stevia is going to be one level less sweet once frozen. So if you think it’s too sweet in the liquid mixture form, remember that level will drop.
- Get My favorite popsicle mold here. : ) It’s the only one I use, and it also comes with the sticks.
Summer love & blueberries!
