At our cafe- Urban Eats Cafe, in St Louis MO- we make what we call Sneaky Smoothies- adding veggies to fruit smoothies. So spinach in our green tea and mango smoothie, beets in a cran pom strawberry smoothie, cucumbers in a blueberry smoothie, etc. Fun to show moms at the local YMCA.

All those combinations can be translated into ‘sicles!, with your choice of creaminess, (yogurt, soymilk, coconut milk, cows milk, soft tofu) or just straight juice.

For those of you moms trying to sneak in veggies, I found a great cookbook by Jessica Seinfeld called Deceptively Delicious – you’ve got to check it out, it has a lot of wonderful suggestions. Basically it’s premise is to puree veggies and then add them to normal recipes – kids have no idea they are any different than usual. I highly reccommend it.

For anyone who is interested, I just saw some cute BPA free popsicle molds on The Land of Nod’s website on sale.

Those recipes sound great! I grew up on homemade popsicles too and could never figure out why the store bought ones had such better texture. I will have to try these with my kids. Rebecca, I love the veggie idea! I’ve been trying some of the “sneaky chef” recipes on my kids and they work great. I bet sweet potatoes or carrots could be snuck in without compromising taste or texture too much.

This all sounds quite yummy to me – I mean for my baby:)
Rebecca, no I never would of thought of the vegetables, but now that you mention it I’ve enjoyed carrot-orange, celery-apple juices at the market so I guess it could be pretty tasty all blended together.

I had a brilliant idea inspired by this post: I am going to try to incorporate vegetables into a popsicle. Has anyone tried this? I really have no problem getting Audrey to eat fruit, but she hasn’t eaten many vegetables since she was about fifteen months old. Perhaps if I blend some into a fruity popsicle and freeze it, she’ll be tricked into getting some greens into her diet.
