Green Tropical Smoothie Popsicles for Toddler + Kids
These Green Tropical Smoothie Popsicles are am amazing frozen summer treat for toddlers and kids that are filled with a (not-so) hidden-veggie - spinach🍃! And because these popsicles are filled with nothing but healthy ingredients you can feel good about serving them for breakfast, snack, lunch or a dessert.

Pineapple: gives these popsicles a fun tropical flavor twist while also adding a huge amount of natural sweetness. You can use fresh or frozen in this recipe. I usually use frozen.
