These Hidden-Veggie Carrot & Orange Popsicles are the perfect healthy baby and toddler snack or treat on a hot summer day. Made with only oranges, carrots, pineapple and yogurt – no added sugar! Great for 9+ months and up!
I’m still trying to wrap my head around the fact that summer vacation starts in less then 3 weeks!
I mean, there is snow in our forecast this week.. and I’m supposed to be planning all of those endless summer days?!?
On the flip side – my girls are already there. School is winding down and they are jazzed for pool time, flip flops and endless popsicles!
I don’t have 3 months of summer plans nailed down but you bet I have my freezer stocked with popsicles!
Ha! Priorities!
These naturally sweetened popsicles are my girl’s new favorite frozen treat!
I am also in love with them because they are filled with only wholesome ingredients – oranges, pineapple, carrots and yogurt.
Yes, you read that right – there are hidden veggies in these popsicles! #momwin

Popsicle Molds for baby And Toddler:
- Zoku Mini Mold – hands down my favorite mold for baby and toddler sized popsicles. Each popsicle is less than an ounce in size and there are 9 popsicles in the mold. I have found that because of their small size these popsicles get devoured before they have time to melt all over the place —> not as messy!
- Nuby Garden Fresh Fruitsicle Frozen Pop Tray – this is a great tray for popsicles for baby – they are small enough for baby to enough a healthy treat but not so big they melt all over the place. I also like the ring stick for easy handling.
- FoodWorks Silicone Ice Pop Maker Molds/Popsicle Molds – these are great for toddlers and kids because they are a little bigger. The best part about these molds is that they are transportable and be popped into a cooler for a park or pool picnic.
