Main Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh spinach (washed thoroughly)
- 1 ripe banana (peeled)
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1–2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Wash the spinach thoroughly and peel the banana. Prepare any additional fruits or herbs if using, to ensure everything blends smoothly.
- Blend the Base: Combine spinach, banana, Greek yogurt, almond milk, honey, lime juice, and chia seeds in a blender. Blend until completely smooth and creamy, with no chunks of greens remaining.
- Taste and Adjust: Taste the mixture and add more sweetener if desired or a little extra lime juice for tanginess to achieve your perfect flavor balance.
- Pour into Molds: Pour the blended smoothie mixture into popsicle molds, leaving some space at the top for expansion. Insert sticks and level the tops to avoid leakage or uneven freezing.
- Freeze Until Solid: Place the molds in the freezer for at least 4 to 6 hours or overnight until the popsicles are completely frozen and solid.
Notes
- Use fresh ingredients for the brightest flavor and color.
- Blend until very smooth to avoid icy or crunchy textures.
- Add citrus juice (lime or lemon) at the end to prevent bitterness.
- Do not overfill molds; leave space for expansion during freezing.
- Run molds under warm water for a few seconds to release popsicles easily without breaking.
