While spinach popsicles may not sound like the most appetizing treat, these vegetable-infused ice pops are both nutritious and delicious. The recipe for the frozen vegetable treats comes from the 'My Fussy Eater' blog and it serves as a great way to sneak some veggies into your children's food.
To make the spinach popsicles, you will need frozen peas, spinach, bananas and water. If you prefer a sweetener popsicle, you can use honey or maple syrup as a natural form of sweetener. To assemble the ice pops, combine all of the ingredients in a blender and then freeze in a popsicle mold overnight. Once frozen, you can dip your popsicles in Greek yogurt and sprinkle with chia seeds for an added boost of nutrition.
