Green Pina Colada Popsicles are a healthy and refreshing popsicle loaded with fresh spinach! Vegetarian but can be made vegan with a simple substitution!
Are you ready for popsicles? I hope so because I’m diving head first into warm weather food. It’s been a LONG winter here in Seattle. Grey, rainy, minimal sunshine. All the things that people typically say about Seattle – this winter lived up to it. #notafan
We had a few days of warm sunshine last week and started grilling, cleaning up our patio furniture, busting out all the pillows and of course, making popsicles.
My kids LOVE popsicles. It’s such an easy way to have a healthy frozen treat on hand for them and truth be told, you can make decent popsicles out of almost any leftover smoothie.
These Green Pina Colada Popsicles are based on my Pina Colada smoothie recipe and tweaked just a bit to add some fresh organic baby spinach. The green color is fun for the kids and you do not taste the spinach at all.
I use honey as a sweetener but if you want to keep these vegan, you could use agave, simple syrup made from palm sugar or even monkfruit for a sugar-free option.
Happy Weekend! xo

These. Are. Amazing. And they totally demystified custom popsicles for me! I’ve made like 4 different kinds now. Thanks so much!
That is awesome!
I decided that this year I’m going to buy a second popsicle mold so I can have the kid-friendly pops in there… and the grown-up ones 🙂 this recipe above plus a little rum… yes?!?!? 🙂
That is so smart!!
These sound amazing… I regularly make green smoothies with spinach, pineapple and coconut, and I can just imagine how tasty the same combination would be in a popsicle (because, let’s face, isn’t everything better when it’s made into a popsicle?) 🙂
Exactly! This is based on my smoothie recipe. I love turning my smoothie leftovers into popsicles!
Those are sooo pretty, I’ve got to make these!
I hope you love them!
Oh my gosh, my mom would love these!! I love the color and those photos are perfection!
