Green Smoothie Popsicles
If you have a toddler who’s not a fan of toddler smoothies, you have leftover smoothie, or just want a new way to serve up fruits and veggies smoothie, these freezer pops are a great option. They are refreshing and easy, and are a fun snack or dessert during warmer months…or really, any day! We’re basically turning a kid-friendly smoothie—featuring yogurt, chia seeds, and plenty of produce—into a frozen treat that toddlers will love. (Okay, I love them too!) (You may also like Fruit Popsicles, Banana Popsicles, Blueberry Popsicles, Strawberry Popsicles, Banana Ice Cream, and my favorite popsicle molds.)
Ingredients You Need
The ingredients in this green smoothie popsicle recipe are similar to if you were making a green smoothie for kids. You need:
Yogurt Banana Mango or kiwi Baby spinach Optional: chia seeds, hemp seeds, avocado, and/or almond butter
TIP: You can use plain or vanilla yogurt, though I recommend using whole milk for the creamiest end result.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Here’s a look at the basic steps in this green smoothie popsicle recipe. Scroll down to the bottom of this post for the full recipe. TIP: To loosen popsicles from popsicle molds, you can run them under hot water. To loosen them from small plastic cups, snip the cup to remove it.
Best Tips for Success
Use plain or vanilla yogurt, but know that whole milk will result in the creamiest popsicles. To make these dairy-free, use nondairy yogurt. Blend the mixture very smooth. Freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight. Run popsicle molds under hot water to help loosen if needed. Store in a zip top bag in the freezer for up to 2 months once fully frozen. Freeze leftover Green Smoothies for kids into popsicle molds to reduce any potential waste.
