These two delicious recipes for fruit and veggie popsicles for toddlers are delicious! They have no added sugar, only three ingredients, and are guaranteed to help your kids eat more veggies!
One thing I’m sure I’m not alone in is getting my kids to eat enough fruit and veggies. If it even looks like it might be healthy, my kids usually won’t touch it.
They both used to be pretty good about getting enough, but recently it’s been a bit of a struggle. Especially in the vegetable department. So I decided to take my own advice and come up with some yummy fruit and veggie popsicles for toddlers!
I actually tried to come up with three, but the third one did not turn out good. At all. Just a warning, never add peas to a popsicle. It tasted like dirt and I wasn’t about to give it to my kids.
But these two are delicious and are basically guaranteed to help your toddler eat more fruit and veggies! Especially in the summer!
The first popsicle is a carrot, orange, and Greek yogurt blend. Blend equal parts carrots and oranges and then add a few spoonfuls of yogurt.
The second popsicle is a carrot, strawberry, and banana blend. Just blend equal parts of all three.
Pour into your popsicle molds and freeze until they are good and solid! Then enjoy!
My kids (and I) loved these delicious little healthy treats. With no added sugar, they are seriously the best way to go. Perfect for hot summer days, and perfect for getting your kids to eat more fruit and veggies!

These look so yummy. I often make smoothies with my kids and then the leftovers into Popsicles. With the carrot, do you cook it or leave them raw… I’m assuming you have to cook them first?
Chelsea Johnson says
That’s so smart! I never would’ve thought to use leftover smoothies! And no, actually. The carrots were all raw! I used my nutribullet and it pureed them in seconds!
Kersten says
These look so yummy that I am not sure that I would want to share with the kids lol!! I’m officially dying to try that 2nd recipe- we all would love it and I’d feel like supermom making it!
Chelsea Johnson says
Yes, you definitely should! And I’m pretty sure you’re already supermom!!
Nina Makes says
Yum! They look delicious!
Chelsea Johnson says
Thanks, Nina!!
Ros Emely@stressfreemommies says
Love these, such a great and delicious treat for my kids to eat. I have done only fruit popsicles but never thought about adding veggies in them. I need them to eat more veggies and I know they will love these popsicles! Thanks Chelsea!
Chelsea Johnson says
It’s such a simple idea but so genius! Thanks, Ros! Hope you get to try them!
Jeniece@OntheGoMommy says

Chelsea Johnson says
Well I’m sure they’ll love these! Thanks, Jeniece!

Thanks, Nora! Glad you liked it!
Jessica Dimas says
Oh my gosh, I love how simple these are!! My boys LOVE popsicles so I have go to try these. I would feel so much better knowing they were eating something healthy instead of frozen sugar on a stick.
Chelsea Johnson says
Right? And thanks! Hpoefully they enjoy them! I didn’t strain these and I thought they were okay, but if your kids are a wee bit pickier then you might want to strain them before adding them to the molds!
Christine says
Ok, this is brilliant! My kids always refuse to eat their veggies and even turn up their noses at most fruit, but this I know they would love! What kid could say no to a popsicle? 🙂
Chelsea Johnson says
Right? They have no idea it’s good for them so they love them!
Katie Clark says
These look and sound delicious. I’m lucky – both my boys love fruits and veggies (Jack’s favorite food is salad! haha.) But this is definitely a more fun way to eat it. Can’t wait to try!
Chelsea Johnson says
Little J just figured out he likes “leaves” aka salad so that’s been helpful! Hopefully Jack likes these popsicles!
Sonya says
Do you need to add any liquid? I just got a nutribullet and haven’t used it much but every recipe I have seen has a liquid in it?
Chelsea Johnson says
Nope, just follow the recipe!
Dianna says
My son just happens to be dairy/soy intolerant. I just bought the stuff to make these but now I’m curious. Do you think I could do it with a little bit of water? No water at all? I really wanna give them to him, but he can’t have dairy
Chelsea Johnson says
You could probably make them with water, but it won’t be as creamy or sweet.
Lisa says
These recipes look amazing and so refreshing for the summer! I never thought to add carrots, but I can’t wait to try it. Also, I saw you tried to add peas and it was gross….I’ve heard avocado is a great source of nutrients and it’s yummy and blends well. I’m curious if it would work well with the popcicles! Thanks for sharing these!
Chelsea Johnson says
Ooh, I’ll have to try that next time! Thanks!
Suzanne says
This looks so good! What a fun one to make with kids!
Vanessa says
Thanks for sharing! Does it keep long?
Chelsea Johnson says
Like any popsicles, I’m pretty sure as long as you keep them in the freezer they’ll last a long time!
