# Healthy Spinach Popsicles These Vegetable-Infused Ice Pops are a Nutritious Summer Treat By Katherine Pendrill | Published 2015-06-30 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spinach-popsicles References: [myfussyeater](http://www.myfussyeater.com/spinach-pea-green-smoothie-popsicle/) While spinach popsicles may not sound like the most appetizing treat, these vegetable-infused ice pops are both nutritious and delicious. The recipe for the frozen vegetable treats comes from the 'My Fussy Eater' blog and it serves as a great way to sneak some veggies into your children's food. To make the spinach popsicles, you will need frozen peas, spinach, bananas and water. If you prefer a sweetener popsicle, you can use honey or maple syrup as a natural form of sweetener. To assemble the ice pops, combine all of the ingredients in a blender and then freeze in a popsicle mold overnight. Once frozen, you can dip your popsicles in Greek yogurt and sprinkle with chia seeds for an added boost of nutrition. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 26% | Activity: 34% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Vegetable-infused Food:** Opportunity for creating innovative and nutritious food products by infusing vegetables into different food items. - **Sneaking Vegetables Into Children's Food:** Opportunity for developing creative ways to incorporate vegetables into children's meals and snacks without them realizing it. - **Healthy Frozen Treats:** Opportunity for creating healthy and enjoyable frozen treats using nutritious ingredients like spinach and bananas. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food and Beverage:** Disruptive innovation opportunities for developing new vegetable-infused products, particularly targeting health-conscious consumers. - **Childcare and Parenting:** Opportunity for creating and marketing products that help parents incorporate vegetables into their children's diets in a fun and appealing way. - **Frozen Desserts:** Opportunity for developing and marketing healthy frozen desserts that appeal to individuals seeking nutritious yet delicious treats. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Pineapple Kale Popsicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweet-greens-pop.md) - [Hidden Veggie Pops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pops.md) - [Smoothie-Style Ice Pops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pitaya-foods-smoothie-pops.md) - [Health-Focused Fruity Smoothies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smoothie-pop.md) - [Hydrating Electrolyte Popsicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hydration-juice-pops.md) - [Vitamin-Packed Lollipops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/8greens-daily-greens-lollipops.md) - [Smoothie-Inspired Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smoothie-inspired-ice-cream.md) - [Better-For-You Frozen Pops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chloes.md) - [Electrolyte Freeze Pops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hydra-pops.md)
