We’ve been having so much fun coming up with breakfast popsicle recipes this summer! The kids think they are getting away with dessert for breakfast, but really the popsicle is made from a healthy smoothie. This Cherry Berry Breakfast Popsicle is recipe includes a CUP FULL OF SPINACH– and no one would ever know! You should have seen how fast our kiddos, and our sweet little neighbor, devoured these popsicles!
This recipe is super simple, and Isla helped me add all the ingredients to the blender. So, yes, she did know spinach was involved, and while she likes to eat it on its own, she was a bit wary about including it with berries and cherries.
You’ll see later on in the post she had absolutely zero concerns about the spinach once she tasted the popsicle!
Ingredients:
- 2 C frozen cherry berry mixture
- 1 C fresh spinach
- 3/4 C almond milk
- 1/2 C tart cherry juice
- 1/4 C whey protein powder
- 2 T honey
Add all ingredients to a blender and puree until smooth. Fill popsicle holders according to their individual instructions and put in the freezer to harden. Depending on the number and size of your molds, you may have a little extra of the mixture to enjoy as a smoothie, as Cole is doing below.
Please note that this popsicle is messy– you won’t want your kids to wear white while eating them!
Cole loved his popsicle so much that when Isla came close to say cheers, he hid his, thinking she wanted it. We’ll keep working on the sharing concept! Haha!
The final bites of Cole’s popsicle dripped on the ground and made for a great experiment. That’s why we have hoses, right?!
