If frozen piña coladas are your jam, then this green smoothie popsicle recipe will keep you refreshed all summer long. The best part about these is they’re virgin, so your kids can munch on them too! Yet if you add a little something extra and make them ‘adult only,’ I won’t judge :-).
What's in this post
This one made my roundup of healthy popsicles for summer as the sneaky-veggie option — for another better-for-you pick, try my Elderberry Popsicles, or keep it simple with my Homemade Ice Pops with Fruit.
How to Turn a Green Smoothie into a Popsicle
While I’ve got some great popsicle recipes, did you know you can turn any green smoothie into a popsicle? If I’ve got some leftover smoothie in my blender, I’ll toss it into a popsicle mold and freeze. I just made a great snack for later, and didn’t waste any ingredients!
You can also make any green smoothie recipe, then freeze it in popsicle molds immediately for a whole batch of smoothie pops. If you’re doing this and you didn’t add any healthy fats to your smoothie then add 2 tablespoons of coconut oil while blending. This why that popsicle isn’t an ice brick when you’re ready to eat it.
Making your own green smoothie popsicles is super easy, and you don’t even need fancy molds to make them (though fun popsicle molds make for a good summer splurge!).

Jen’s Free Soup Challenge
I’d love for you to soup it up with me! For 5 days, I’ll send you a daily veggie-packed soup that’s easy enough for a busy weeknight and makes enough to freeze and pull out all winter.
Green Smoothie Popsicle Supplies
All you need to make your own molds is a set of paper cups and popsicle sticks. Fill each cup 3/4 full of smoothie, then stick a wooden stick in the middle. Place the filled cups on a cookie sheet and put them in the freezer… make sure they stay flat!
Freeze for at least 2 hours before taking out. Then pull them out of the freezer, and tear off the paper cup ‘wrappers.’ Now enjoy that green smoothie popsicle and share… or don’t… with your hungry crew.
Recipe Card
Green Smoothie Popsicles
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cup spinach
- ¼ cup coconut milk
- 2 ½ cup pineapple
- 2 tbsp raw coconut flakes
Instructions
- Add the coconut milk, spinach, pineapple and coconut flakes to a blender and blend until smooth.
- Pour into popsicle molds and freeze until firm, at least 3 hours or overnight.
Recipe Notes
- Blender Tip: Fresh or frozen pineapple both work; here’s how to cut a pineapple. If you use frozen, let it thaw slightly so it blends easily with so little liquid.
- Texture Tip: Full-fat canned coconut milk makes creamier, less icy popsicles.
- Unmolding Tip: Dip the molds in warm water for a few seconds to loosen the popsicles.
- Freezing: Once unmolded, store the popsicles in a freezer bag for up to 1 month.

My kids love it because it’s a popsicle. I love it because it’s good for them. Win/ win for everyone!
Win-win for sure!
I made these for a Cinco de Mayo pool party and they were a hit! I even added a little splash of booze— hahah!
These are REALLY good!
