Steps:
- Gather your red ingredients together (chopped strawberries and red sports drink) and add to your smoothie or blender cup and blend until pureed into a nice smooth juice, about 1 minute.
- Use a funnel or spout cup to carefully pour the strawberry mixture into your popsicle molds and fill 1/3 full. Place in the freezer for 2-3 hours to set.
- Carefully use a small spoon to scoop some yogurt into the molds on top of the frozen strawberry layer.
- Add your popsicle sticks to the center of each mold. The yogurt should be stiff enough to hold stick in place. Freeze 2-3 hours.
- Blend together the blueberries and blue sports drink and carefully pour in the molds, filling almost to the top.
- Freeze for 2-3 hours until completely set.
- When ready to enjoy, either set out for a few minutes before unmolding, or set mold in a container filled with warm, NOT HOT, water for 15-20 seconds and they should easily unmold.

Use Cool Whip for white layers. Ingredients are per box of jello. "Cooking time" is time for prepping and freezing one layer.
