Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Fresh spinach
- 1 medium Ripe avocado
- 1 cup Mango chunks (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup Pineapple chunks (fresh or frozen)
- 1 medium Banana
- 1 cup Coconut water
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Honey or maple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)
Instructions
Wash the spinach thoroughly and pat it dry.
Scoop the flesh of the avocado out of the skin and discard the pit.
Place the spinach, avocado, mango chunks, pineapple chunks, banana, coconut water, and lime juice into a blender.
Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the blender once or twice.
Taste the mixture and, if you'd like it sweeter, add honey or maple syrup and blend again until fully incorporated.
Carefully pour the mixture into popsicle molds, leaving about 1/4 inch of space at the top to allow for expansion as they freeze.
Insert popsicle sticks into the molds and place them in the freezer.
Freeze for at least 6 hours or until the popsicles are fully set.
To remove the popsicles from the molds, run the bottoms of the molds under warm water for 10–15 seconds to loosen them.
Enjoy these Electric Green Popsicles on a hot summer day or anytime you need a refreshing and healthy treat!
