Apple Cinnamon Spinach Smoothie Pops

This recipe makes for an excellent smoothie for anyone and a yummy, frozen treat for little ones. And since it can be tricky to get toddlers to eat vegetables, this is an ideal way to sneak some in.

The original recipe was from a Kroger flyer and was called the Antioxidant Power Smoothie. I altered the recipe a little and decided to name it after the taste and ingredients: Apple Cinnamon Spinach Smoothie (Pops).

Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

• 3 cups baby spinach
• 1 ripe banana, broken into pieces
• 1 apple, cored and coarsely chopped
• ½ cup frozen blueberries*
• ½ cup vanilla yogurt
• 1 tablespoon ground flax seeds
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1-½ cups unsweetened almond milk**

*Frozen mixed berries or pitted cherries can be used as an alternative to blueberries.

**The original recipe calls for water or canned coconut water. I prefer unsweetened almond milk.

INSTRUCTIONS

Blend all ingredients together. Pour into a frozen pop container. Freeze. Enjoy.

Or keep it out of the freezer, and sip on a delicious smoothie.
