    What a smart way to sneak more fruits and veggies into your diet! I don’t have kids but I’m considering making these for myself when the weather finally gets warm haha.

    I have always been a huge fan of making my own popsicles for the little ones. It is super healthy and less sugar than the ones you purchase from the store. I am going to have to try these ones.

    We used to make these for my son when he was younger! It was a slightly different recipe – but it worked so well! He loved having them when he wasn’t feeling well

    Smart! When my son was younger I used to finely shred carrots in pasta sauce and cauliflower in mac and cheese! It was the only way haha!
