I tried it today! I used fresh baby spinach, but I steamed it a bit to make it limp. And I omitted the milk (mostly an oversight on my part!) My 5 year old LOVED it, and he won’t eat spinach plain. Thanks!

I haven’t but the frozen stuff isn’t cooked so I doubt it would be that different, it may be a bit more bitter, but nothing a little sugar can’t hide!

Have you ever made them with fresh spinach? We always have fresh spinach on hand. I want to try them this week. They look yummy!

I was making a “raw” green drink for my daughter for a bit that involved fresh baby spinach.
In a blender I mixed up a handful of baby spinach, 1-2 peeled apples, ~1/2 cup apple juice to thin it and a handful of ice cubes. I was surprised she drank it but she did. You could also throw in a frozen banana but my kid doesn’t like the taste of bananas so I don’t.

Love your site! Thanks for all the great ideas.

Kelly - it's not sad at all I measured ours today for you.

1/4 cup of frozen chopped spinach loosely in the cup
1/3 cup of whole milk
1 yo baby yogurt ( 4oz)
1 very large extra ripe banana ( lots of brown spots)

- if your banana isn't that ripe you may want to add a little sugar or vanilla. Or use vanilla flavored milk to hide the spinach.

Hope that helps, my son loves these and this recipe makes 1 smoothie ( a full take and toss cup) and 4 small pops.

Great idea. I’m the type that kind of stresses out if I don’t have the exact recipe. Sad, I know. Could you share how much milk, spinach, and yogurt you use? Thanks!

I’ve seen spinach in smoothies and juicers before, but I’m scared. It scares me! I need to get the courage to try it. And I love spinach, just the thought of eating this- I don’t know what it is????? I think I should def try it, especially on the kids!

What a great idea for St. Patty treats! I am also happy to hear your son loved the popsicles. I am going to have to try these!
