Mini #5 – Tropical Popsicles

July 24, 2014 by Samantha

Tropical Popsicles are a great way to ease babies into new flavours and help numb those sore gums during teething. Adored by kids and adults alike around here, this a healthy popsicle recipe that is sugar-free and completely delicious.

With Summer and teething season well underway over here, I’ve had to come up with various aides to help Z & I get through the teething process with as much ease as possible.

Tropical-Popsicles

We use frozen steamed green beans, frozen blueberries, and of course pure fruit popsicles, no sugar no sweetener just plan old delicious fruits. It’s also been my method to expose them to pineapple … How else do you eat pineapple when you don’t have very many teeth?

I do bake the fruit before I blend it and put it into the popsicle moulds. I find this allows the starches to be released from the fruit (makes it a bit sweeter) and it prevents the pear from turning brown.

I use mini popsicle moulds that cost a few dollars from the grocery store. It’s been one of my best baby investments. Not very glamours, but they definitely do the job and are easier for Z & I to handle.

The recipe isn’t completely for your minis. I’ve been known to show the popsicle love and hand these out to adults as well. They’re always well received.
