Equipment

Ingredients

  • 3 cups fresh or frozen pineapple chunks (about 1 pound/16 ounces)
  • 1 cup full-fat canned coconut milk*
  • 1/2 cup pineapple juice
  • 1 Tablespoon honey (or agave syrup)
  • 1/8 teaspoon coconut extract
  • 1 1/2 cups baby spinach
  • Optional: 1 Tablespoon fresh lime juice

Instructions

  • Combine. Add frozen pineapple, coconut milk, pineapple juice, honey, spinach, and coconut extract. (Add lime juice, if using.)
  • Blend. Puree until the smoothie is completely smooth, pausing to scrape down the sides, as needed. Try not to rush, so you can get the spinach super smooth! Taste the smoothie and add more coconut extract, sweetener, or lime juice, to taste.
  • Strain. Pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer, if desired. I recommend this for picky eaters or anyone texture sensitive, so the popsicles won't be gritty or stringy.
  • Freeze. Pour the strained popsicle mixture into your popsicle mold. Cover with a lid and insert popsicle sticks. Place on a level surface in your freezer and freeze for at least 4-5 hours, or until completely solid.
  • Serve & Store. To release from popsicle mold, run the wells of the popsicle mold under cool water (not warm water or hot water, or they’ll melt!) for a few seconds and use a side-to-side motion to release popsicle from the mold. Store leftover popsicles in a single layer in an airtight freezer bag in the freezer up to 2 weeks.

Notes

  • Coconut Milk. I use full-fat canned coconut milk for these. If you want an icier popsicle, you can use light coconut milk. If you want a richer, creamier popsicle, you can use coconut cream instead!
