Many people automatically equate healthy recipes with food that’s not fun to eat, but that’s not the case with the tasty treats in Ice Pop Joy by Anni Daulter. Expand your ice pop visions beyond the customary fruit juice/yogurt combos—the recipes in this book will have everyone in the family wanting more!  Who would have imagined a quinoa/blueberry pop? A tummy-soothing pop with mint, chamomile, ginger, and lavender? Or one with chocolate, carob, kale, and cayenne to delight adult taste buds? Here’s another healthy choice to get you started:

            Green Machine Ice Pop

1 cup chopped raw spinach

2 bananas

1 whole pineapple, peeled, cored, and chopped

2 teaspoons flaxseed

2 cups purified water

Combine spinach, bananas, and pineapple in blender and puree. Add flaxseeds and water and puree a second time. Pour mixture into chosen pop molds and put sticks in place. Freeze pops until solid.
