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!
