Popsicle Base Ingredients
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 cup Fresh Spinach
- 1/4 cup Fresh Parsley
- 1 Banana
- 2 Kiwifruit
- 2 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Fresh Ginger
Instructions
- Blend Greens and Milk: Combine 1 cup of milk, 1 cup of fresh spinach, and 1/4 cup of fresh parsley in a blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add Fruits and Sweetener: Add 1 banana, 1 kiwifruit, 2 tablespoons honey, and 1 tablespoon fresh ginger to the blender. Blend again until the smoothie is smooth and creamy. Taste and add more honey if you prefer it sweeter.
- Prepare Popsicle Molds: Peel and slice the remaining kiwifruit into thin slices. Place a slice or two into each popsicle mold to add texture and visual appeal.
- Fill and Freeze: Pour the blended green smoothie mixture into each popsicle mold over the kiwifruit slices. Freeze the molds for at least 6 hours or until fully set and hard.
- Remove and Serve: To easily remove the popsicles, run the molds under warm water for a few seconds to loosen them. Then gently pull out the popsicles and enjoy your nutritious frozen treat.
Notes
- Use whole milk for creamier popsicles or substitute with almond milk for a dairy-free option.
- Adjust the honey quantity to your desired sweetness level.
- Add a little lemon juice for a tangy twist.
- For a smoother texture, strain the spinach and parsley mixture before adding fruit.
- Make sure the molds are completely frozen before removing to prevent breaking.
