Strawberry Kiwi Hidden Veggie Popsicle

This recipe was a really big hit with the little one today.  I actually couldn’t get a good photo because she wanted no part in the picture taking and only wanted to eat! 

Aside from the main vitamin C powerhouses kiwi and strawberries, the base of the popsicle is actually avocado which lends a rich creaminess but whose flavor is undetectable.  Avocados are such an awesome source of nutrition, as well, especially the amazing healthy fats they contain for great skin, hair and healthy brain function.  Lastly I added a tiny bit of beet to give the popsicles that beautiful bright red color.  Not to mention beets also contain significant amounts of vitamin C as well as folates, niacin, vitamin B-5, vitamin B-6, potassium and minerals like iron, manganese and magnesium.  Pretty awesome, right?

Ingredients
1 Kiwi
¼ Avocado
4-5 Strawberries (More or less depending on size of berry and taste)
Sliver of beet root (Red, not yellow variety.  Can be steamed or raw.)
Stevia/Honey/Sugar to taste

That's it!
