    Step 2: Pour the strawberry puree into the popsicle mold, making sure to leave about ¼ inch room for popsicle sticks. Place the mold lid on, and gently place the sticks into the center. (I let my kids do this part.)

    Helpful tips for making popsicles

    • To keep the popsicle sticks from floating around in the molds, soak them in warm water for 5–10 minutes before inserting. Then, place the lid on the mold and insert the sticks, making sure they are straight and even.
    • When they are firm and ready to be removed, run the bottom of the mold under warm water for about 20–30 seconds. Gently grip the handles and pull upward to get a clean popsicle. 
    • Feel free to add in additional flavors and mix-ins, like mint or other juices.

    Tips for helping kids eat fruits and veggies

    Popsicles and smoothies are one of my favorite ways to make sure my kids are getting the nutrients they need from fruits and vegetables. This post is a great roundup of our favorites smoothies for kids. They are also an easy recipe that they can make with me, and I think that's the number one key in helping them eat their fruits and veggies.

    Next, we recently starting using this amazing app called HuePets to inspire my kids to eat their fruits and veggies with every meal. Guess what? IT WORKS!

    My kids scan their real time fruits and veggies in the app, and then it allows them to feed their Huey pet (he's that adorable little beet pink guy!). As he grows, it unlocks coins and access to prizes and rewards, with the ultimate goal of empowering them to eat their fruits and veggies and understanding the importance of nutrition in a fun way.

    The app is totally FREE, so you should absolutely click here to download and try it out with your kids. The app is available for iOS and Android, FYI. It has been a GAME CHANGER at our house. They are also pre-selling limited edition Huey Bundle gift boxes. Click here to reserve yours.
