Green Tropical Smoothie Popsicles for Toddler + Kids

June 3, 2020

Green smoothie popsicle of a Dino roaring

These Green Tropical Smoothie Popsicles are am amazing frozen summer treat for toddlers and kids that are filled with a (not-so) hidden-veggie - spinach๐Ÿƒ! 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. Spinach: packed with iron, magnesium and vitamins A, C and K, also makes these popsicles the fun green color. You can use 1/2 - 1 cup of packed spinach in this recipe. If your kiddos are new to green popsicles, I would start by using 1/2 cup of spinach as they won't be able to taste it. You can add more spinach the next time you make these popsicles. Banana: full of potassium and fiber, adding a banana gives these popsicles a smooth and creamy texture. 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. Honey: is added to give these popsicles ...
