Goose, our 2-year-old, loves popsicles. All popsicles. Yes, even popsicles filled with lettuce and tofu. What? Yes. Anything. Granted, they taste like delicious blended berries, but I’m still super stoked about packing in these sneaky nutrients. And they’re such a pretty color. Make these for your kids, they’ll love you for it and you’ll love the complete meal they’re getting from a popsicle! How cool is that?

The Results

I tried a bite and it was actually pretty yummy! Goose went insane for them and ate hers and her sister’s. Bug ate about 1/3 of hers before getting distracted by her coloring books and abandoning the rest to Goose. A win for sure either way.
