Green Smoothie Popsicles

As it’s still pretty hot in Germany, we had green smoothie popsicles today instead of our daily green smoothie. Now that the worst part of my final exams is over, I will finally stop complaining about the heat and actually enjoy the rest of the summer. :-) I heard on the news that this is the hottest July since the weather record began, so I guess it’s definitely ice cream time! I’ve always loved to make popsicles. It’s easy, cheap, and sooo convenient. As a child, I often used yogurt or juice to make homemade popsicles, but the green smoothie popsicles were even better.

Green Smoothie Popsicles

For the top, I used frozen raspberries, red currants, and chia seeds, which I put in a food processor together with some water. The rest of the popsicle is made of a tropical green smoothie with spinach, banana, pineapple, kiwi, orange, and passion fruit. I also added some more chia seeds, flax seeds, and sesame seeds, so the green smoothie popsicles are filled with tons of essential nutrients! I added only two dates and for me the popsicles were sweet enough, but if you want to have it sweeter just add more dried dates or figs. With the recipe below you can make about 12 popsicles and you still got some green smoothie left to drink.

      Thanks, Jenn! :-) I totally agree with you. It feels so good to eat healthy and sweet things at the same time, although chocolate is of course also great once in a while! ;-)

    These popsicles are so naturally bright and beautiful thanks to all that fruit, but I LOVE the way you photographed them too!!! The background of fruit is just perfect! You are a popsicle photographing pro I’d say :) And I love the variety of fruits and veggies in here, a perfect healthy snack!

      Haha! Thanks so much, Natalie! Yeah, I just didn’t know how to photograph them at first. I started with crushed ice underneath, but it just didn’t look right. Luckily my boyfriend came up with the “fruit idea”, which I just loved. And of course there were all the yummy berries we could eat once we were done. :-)

    Hey July, I know that this is none of your latest posts but… You can enjoy popsicles EVERY summer :D
    They look beautiful and I’m about buying some molds – where did you get yours? Are they BPA-free or made from silicone?!
    Greets from the Canary Islands and thanks sooo much for your inspiration :)
