Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 medium Carrots (Cooked for a sweeter taste and smooth consistency)
- 1 medium Beet (Cooked to enhance sweetness and flavor)
- 2 cup Spinach (Fresh for a mild flavor)
- 1 medium Cucumber (For refreshing texture)
- 1 cup Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt (For creaminess)
- 1 medium Banana or Mango (For natural sweetness)
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice (To keep flavors bright)
Instructions
Preparation
- Pick 2 to 3 colors for your popsicles. Suggested combinations include orange, green, and pink.
- Prepare each color mix: blend carrots with mango and yogurt for orange; blend spinach with pineapple and coconut yogurt for green; blend beets with banana and lemon for pink.
- Blend each mixture until very smooth and taste for adjustments.
- Pour the first layer into popsicle molds and freeze for 20 to 30 minutes until slightly set.
- Add the next layer and repeat until all mixtures are used.
- Insert sticks and freeze until solid, usually 4 to 6 hours.
- To unmold, run warm water over the outside of the mold for 10 to 15 seconds.
Notes
For added sweetness, consider using ripe fruit; avoid overdoing watery veggies unless balanced with banana or yogurt. Chill mixtures for cleaner layers when making multi-colored pops.
