Tropical Green Smoothie Lollies

Cook School
  • Serves: Makes enough for 2-3 smoothies or about 6 lollies
  • Cooking: 10
  • Ready: 10

A brilliant way to get children to eat spinach, these smoothies can be enjoyed as they are, or frozen to make lollies!

Ingredients

  • 1 banana
  • 1 glass of spinach leaves (approx 30 g)
  • 1 glass of frozen pineapple chunks (approx. 125 g)
  • 1 glass apple juice (approx. 150 ml)
  • 1 tablespoon oats

Method

Peel the banana, break into chunks and put into a jug or blender.

Wash the spinach in a sieve or colander and shake to dry. Add the spinach to the jug.

Fill a glass with frozen pineapple and tip into the blender. Almost fill the same glass with apple juice and add to the blender. Add 1 tablespoon oats.

Blend until really smooth and pour into glasses to drink, or pour into lolly moulds and freeze.
