We all know you can make ice pops from fruit, coconut milk and even cocktails. But what about veggie popsicles? Yes, that’s also an option. Carrots, kale and even asparagus can all go into popsicles (and smoothies) and still taste delicious. Here are 3 refreshing ways to get your vitamins in a pretty, healthy, summer-worthy popsicle form. And if you don’t have the time or patience to freeze them, skip it and simply whip up these recipes as smoothie. However, if you’re trying to increase the amount of veggies your kids are eating, popsicles tend to be the better solution. Is there anything kids won’t eat when it’s frozen on a stick?!
