How to make Hidden Veggie Power Popsicle
Begin by placing 1 cup of frozen mango pieces into the blender.
Add in ½ cup of carrot juice to the blender. If you are not able to find straight carrot juice or cannot make your own, you can substitute a natural veggie/fruit juice blend that contains carrots.
Pour in ½ cup of orange juice.
Mix in the 1/2 cup of frozen pineapple pieces.
Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Pour the popsicle mixture into the molds.
Place the popsicle molds into the freezer for at least a few hours and up to overnight. Once the popsicles have set completely, you can remove them from the freezer to serve. Place the molds under running water to release the popsicles if they are stuck in the mold.

What a smart way to sneak more fruits and veggies into your diet! I don’t have kids but I’m considering making these for myself when the weather finally gets warm haha.

These look amazing! I love being able to hide veggies into things my kids never know about. Makes me feel good that they are eating something good for them.

I have always been a huge fan of making my own popsicles for the little ones. It is super healthy and less sugar than the ones you purchase from the store. I am going to have to try these ones.

We used to make these for my son when he was younger! It was a slightly different recipe – but it worked so well! He loved having them when he wasn’t feeling well

Smart! When my son was younger I used to finely shred carrots in pasta sauce and cauliflower in mac and cheese! It was the only way haha!
