Hidden veggies Healthy Popsicles

If you want to get some raw, green goodness into your kids (or yourself), because they refuse to eat salad, turnips, or spinach, then you NEED to start making these popsicles!  My kids literally beg for them.  Raw Superfood Powder is fast and easy access to a powerful punch of green nutrients.
I don't know a kid alive that will turn down a popsicle.  So the solution is simple; order a few special ingredients and start making these super easy Green popsicles.  FYI, they're not green at all, they are sweet chocolaty Heaven (with vegetables hidden inside)!  Below I've listed the items that I personally use.  I'm not endorsing these brands, I'm just trying to make it easier for you.  Feel free to buy whichever products you prefer, as long as they are the equivalent.  The Green Superfood is a little pricey, but it lasts a long time and is definitely worth it.




You'll need:


This is the green powder that I use.

Additional options that will knock your socks off:



The amounts of ingredients really depend on how big your popsicle molds are and how many molds you're filling.  You'll have to tweak the recipe to match your needed amount and your likes.  This recipe is specifically for  one batch of the popsicle molds that I have linked.  I've also included the ingredients that I personally like.  Most of them are optional, but you definitely want to include Cacao powder to mask the green powder taste, and you'll also need the almond milk and stevia (or honey) as well.  Everything else is optional.

RECIPE:

  • 1.5 Cups unsweetened Almond Milk
  • 15 drops of liquid stevia (or 1-2 packets of powdered stevia)(it depends on how sweet you want them)OR a heaping Tbs. of Raw unheated honey (for honey-vegans)(adds calories)
  • 1/2 Tbs. Raw Organic Cacao Powder
  • 1 scoop of Green Superfood (scoop comes with the powder)
  • 1 Banana (optional)
  • 1 Tbs. Raw Shelled Organic Hemp seeds (optional)


Blend well, fill your molds and freeze for at least 2 hours OR
blend with 1 cup of ice and have as smoothies!
