Do you ever get a sweet tooth late at night? I’m pretty good about staying away from sugar during the day, but once my schedule settles down, my brain starts thinking about sugar. In particular, I have been craving ice cream. Some nights I indulge in a scoop or two. But for the days when I want to stick to a healthy diet, these Blueberry & Spinach popsicles have been a lifesaver.
Made with fresh spinach, frozen blueberries, banana and low-fat yogurt, these popsicles curb my sugar craving without the guilt. The kiddos love them too; Jamisen in particular thinks he is getting a special ice cream treat instead of fruits and veggies. You can see him enjoying a variation of this recipe in the photo from last year below =) They are also incredibly easy to make! Simply add all the ingredients into a blender, and blend until smooth. Pour into a popsicle mold and allow to freeze overnight. I use this popsicle mold and love it.
What You’ll Need:
1 Ripe banana
1 cup Blueberries (frozen or fresh)
1 1/2 cups Fresh spinach
1 1/2 cups Vanilla Greek yogurt
ONE: Place all the ingredients into a blender and blend until completely smooth. If necessary, add a splash of milk to help the mixture blend.
TWO: Pour the mixture into your popsicle mold. For the mold I have, this recipe made six popsicles. Place the popsicle sticks into the mold, and place in the freezer until completely frozen (I wait overnight).
THREE: Remove from the mold and enjoy!

These are lovely and I bet they taste delicious! Can’t wait to make them. Is it 1 and 1/5 Cups of Vanilla Greek yogurt?

I meant 1/2 Cups of yogurt!

Those look good. I always look for new ways to trick kids and give them more fruit and veggies, as they are very picky. Thanks!
You’re welcome Martina! So glad you like the recipe. They taste so good you don’t even notice the spinach. 🙂
