Whether it’s for backyard hangs, post-camp snack time, or a better-for-you dessert, these pops will be on repeat all season long.

Let’s dive into the popsicle recipes your kids (and their growing bodies) will thank you for!

Why Superseeds in Popsicles?

Why not?! We’re all about real-food nutrition that supports growing bodies—without the power struggles. Our blends are packed with superseeds like flax, chia and hemp hearts, each offering powerhouse benefits:

• Omega-3s for brain development

• Fiber for healthy digestion

• Plant-based protein for strong muscles

• Zinc, iron, and magnesium for immune health and energy

Blending these nutrients into foods kids already love—like popsicles—is a simple, delicious way to boost their daily nutrition without the battle.

Popsicle Base Tips: How to Build a Nutritious Pop

Before we get into the specific recipes, here are a few quick tips for building better popsicles:

• Fruit is the foundation – Use ripe bananas, mangoes, strawberries, or blueberries for natural sweetness.

• Add something creamy – Coconut milk or Greek yogurt makes your pops creamy and satisfying.

• Sweeten smart – Skip refined sugar and opt for honey, maple syrup, or dates if needed.

• Mix in Tiny Sprouts Boosters – A scoop of any of our boosters adds real food nutrition in every bite.

Let’s get blending!
