Description
A delicious and nutritious frozen treat combining fresh spinach, ripe bananas, and Greek yogurt for a healthy smoothie pop that kids and adults will love.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups packed fresh spinach
- 2 medium ripe bananas
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 cup milk (any variety)
Instructions
- Preparation: Gather all ingredients on your countertop and ensure bananas are properly ripe
- Blending: In a blender, combine spinach, bananas, Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and milk. Blend until smooth and vibrant green
- Taste Testing: Taste the mixture and add more sweetener if desired for optimal flavor balance
- Filling Molds: Pour the smoothie mixture into popsicle molds, leaving some space at the top for expansion during freezing
- Adding Sticks: Insert sticks if your molds have them; if not, cover with aluminum foil and poke sticks through
- Freezing: Freeze for at least 4 hours until completely solid. To serve, run warm water over the outside of the molds for easy release
Notes
- Choose baby spinach for milder flavor and easier blending – you won’t taste the greens!
- Use overripe bananas for maximum sweetness and creamier texture
- Freeze bananas beforehand for an extra thick, creamy texture that mimics soft-serve ice cream
- Fill molds only 3/4 full to prevent overflow when mixture expands during freezing
