Healthy, Fun and Yum! How To Make Rainbow Popsicles.
by Eden Law
on
We all love to celebrate Australian Summer with our favourite nostalgic ice-creams including rainbow paddle pops, Gaytime, Splice and Bubble O Bill.
The colours and flavours of Summer are packed with sugar and colouring that we don't always want to give to our kids.
So here's a recipe thanks to The First Year Blog which is inspired by the icy rainbow swirls of Summer paddle pops.
Now you can make your own guilt free and flavour packed.
Ingredients:
RED LAYER
- 1 frozen banana
- 1/2 cup greek yogurt, vanilla or plain
- 1/2 cup frozen raspberries
- 1/2 cup frozen strawberries
- water or liquid for blending
ORANGE LAYER
- 1 frozen banana
- 1/2 cup greek yogurt, vanilla or plain
- 1/2 cup frozen peaches
- 1 small orange
- 1/4 cup frozen mango
- water or liquid for blending
YELLOW LAYER
- 2 frozen bananas
- 1/2 cup greek yogurt, vanilla or plain
- 1 cup frozen pineapple
- water or liquid for blending
GREEN LAYER
- 2 frozen bananas
- 1/2 cup greek yogurt, vanilla or plain
- 1 handful (or more) spinach
- 1 cup frozen pineapple
- water or liquid for blending
BLUE LAYER
- 2 frozen bananas
- 1/2 cup greek yogurt, vanilla or plain
- 1 cup frozen pineapple
- small amount of blue food coloring
- water or liquid for blending
PURPLE LAYER
- 1 frozen banana
- 1/2 cup greek yogurt, vanilla or plain
- 1 cup frozen mixed berries
- water or liquid for blending
MAGENTA LAYER
- 1 frozen banana
- 1/2 cup greek yogurt, vanilla or plain
- 1/2 cup sliced canned beets
- 1 cup frozen strawberries or raspberries
Directions:
FOR EACH SMOOTHIE
- Place all the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Add more liquid to help it blend if it's too thick.
- Transfer the smoothie to a bowl or container, rinse the blender and prep the next smoothie.
TO ASSEMBLE THE RAINBOW POPSICLES
- Carefully layer each colour smoothie in a popsicle mould in rainbow order.
- Layering the smoothies in the mould is easy. Use a spoon or tablespoon to scoop the smoothie mixture into the mould. It’s natural for the layers to blend a bit, but I have noticed that spooning the smoothies into the mould versus pouring the smoothie in from a glass leaves better results.
- Once the moulds are filled, add the sticks and freeze the popsicles overnight.
Celebrate Australian Summer with your kids, keeping it cool, fun and yum!
