‘Slimesicles’, green smoothie popsicles

That taste refreshing, tropical and delicious!

Want your kids to eat more greens? These green smoothie 'Slimesicles' are the fun way to do it! No colouring, no processed sugar and zero artificial flavour. They’re naturally sweet and just a handful of spinach adds lots of bonus nutrients and creates an awesome vibrant green. With pineapple, banana and orange as the base, they taste fruity and delicious, and we guarantee no one will taste the spinach.  

Just like a smoothie, ‘slimesicles’ are incredibly easy to make. Simply throw everything in the blender jug (including the pineapple core) and blitz. The powerful Vibe Blender System will get it all so smooth that the spinach will be completely undetectable. No green flecks in sight! When it’s smoothie-like, pour the mixture into any popsicle mould you have, insert the sticks and let your freezer do the rest. Patience is the hardest part. Then watch how the novelty of a frozen treat makes eating greens so much more palatable!
