3 Easy Toddler Popsicle Recipes

Baby Popsicles
Thank goodness for summertime! My little guy loves being outside and it's always fun to take a break to cool off with a popsicle (especially for those teething kiddos, can I get an Amen?) Here are 3 tried and true kid approved popsicle "recipes" that you can whip up and throw in the freezer in less than 5 minutes!

1. Coconut Water + Fruit Popsicle: 

Ingredients: 1 small container of coconut water (I used Vita Coco) and chopped fruit. I used blueberries, strawberries and grapes. I also recommend using the Nuby Popsicle molds, but any popsicle mold will work!

Instructions: Chop up fruit into small pieces and put on the bottom of popsicle molds

Pour Coconut water on top until popsicle mold is filled.

Add handles of popsicles and put in freezer for 24 hours or until completely frozen.

2. Pouch Popsicles

Ingredients: Your child's favorite flavor of pouch. Aiden loves Ella's Kitchen pouches. We used the Apples and Strawberries  flavor to make ours.

Instructions: Open selected pouch, pour into popsicle molds and freeze. One pouch fits perfectly into the Nuby Popsicle molds with a sip or two to spare. These are almost too easy and are guaranteed to be a hit since you are using your child's favorite pouch flavors.

3. Mashed Fruit + Yogurt Popsicles

Ingredients: Your child's favorite mash-able fruits and 1/2 cup of plain yogurt (or more if using larger popsicle molds).

Instructions: See the recipe for my Toddler's favorite popsicle combination: Avocado + Banana Popsicles by clicking here and modify by substituting your child's favorite fruits!

Baby Friendly Popsicles: Avocado & Banana {GIVEAWAY}

Avocado and Banana Popsicles
Now that summer is here I've been trying to come up with some ways to keep Aiden cool on those unbearably hot summer days. I got these Fruitsicle Popsicle Molds to try out and have been coming up with healthy and simple recipes to make into popsicles for Aiden who is 7 months old.

These popsicle molds are the perfect size for creating baby sized popsicles! There are 4 molds and they each hold 1 fluid ounce, which is plenty for a little one who is just starting solid foods! They are easy to fill, the molds snap into place and are easy to remove after the popsicles have been frozen. They are also BPA free and are freezer, dishwasher and microwave safe. You can purchase your own Fruitsicle Popsicle Molds here or enter for a chance to win a set on my Instagram today over here!

What you need to make Avocado & Banana Popsicles...
(Makes 4 large popsicles or 6-8 small ones)
1 banana
1 avocado
1/2 cup Plain Organic Yogurt

I started by peeling a banana and using my Garden Fresh Mash n' Feed to mash the banana until it was smooth. I then cut the avocado in half, removed the pit, scooped out the insides and used the same process to mash it.

After the avocado and banana were mashed, I pureed them with the yogurt. I used my BEABA Babycook, but you could use a blender as well.

Once the ingredients were blended and were a smooth consistency I tasted it (yum!) and then poured the mixture into my popsicle molds.

After the molds were filled I snapped on the tops and stuck them in the freezer. I left them in the freezer overnight and they were easy to snap out the next day.

Aiden absolutely LOVED these! He gobbled one down and was able to hold his popsicle all by himself. So both the popsicle molds and this recipe are baby approved!
