Cinco de Mayo Popsicles!

May 4, 2017 By Kari 1 Comment

Cinco de Mayo Popsicles-1These Mexican flag-inspired popsicles are super healthy and really easy to make. You’ll look like a Pinterest champ with very little effort, and you won’t have to spend a ton to make it happen. They’re a perfect snack for your kids. What I love most about them: they’re loaded with good-for-you stuff, disguised as a treat. Trickery for the win!

Total cost: Around $25 (not including molds)

Time Investment: 30 minutes (excluding freezing time)

You’ll Need:

  • 12 medium-sized strawberries – halved
  • 4 kiwi – quartered
  • One cup of spinach
  • 1/2 cup Organic whole milk
  • One cup coconut Greek yogurt
  • One cup of coconut water
  • Popsicle molds

Cinco de Mayo Popsicles-2Cinco de Mayo Popsicles-3Directions: 

First layer (green): Blend together spinach, kiwi and coconut water. Pour into your molds 1/3 of the way up. Pop in your freezer for about an hour until almost frozen.

Cinco de Mayo Popsicles-4Second layer (white): whisk together milk and yogurt. Pour into molds another 1/3 of the way up on top of your green. I used a small funnel for a cleaner pour and took a tiny piece of paper towel to the molds to wipe away any splash. Pop back in the freezer for another 45 minutes.

Cinco de Mayo Popsicles-5Cinco de Mayo Popsicles-6Third layer (red): blend your strawberries with a bit of water and pour into molds on top of your first two layers. Push your popsicle stick through and toss in the freezer for a few hours.

I bought my molds a few years ago but these are pretty much the same and I really love the look of these.

Cinco de Mayo Popsicles-7Once you’re ready to enjoy this delicious treat, take your popsicles out of the freezer and run each under hot water for 10 seconds to remove the molds. Enjoy the popsicles right away! The middle layer was my favourite but all three compliment each other very well. You could also add a bit of lime to your green layer and a bit of honey to your white layer for something different.

Happy Cinco de Mayo!

We love this new and improved all-terrain stroller. We're out for walks a few times a day - with the dogs, school runs, shopping, etc. This one fits the bill for all of it!

- so easy to maneuver. It's seriously the smoothest ride ever. 
- 4-wheel spring suspension and large puncture-proof wheels let you glide over bumps and tight turns without disturbing babe.
- customizable colours 
- the bassinet has a great ventilation system to help babe regulate their natural body temperature.
