  • 5 pieces Medjool dates, pitted Will sweeten the pops naturally—no added sugars needed.
  • 1/2 small avocado For creaminess and healthy fats.
  • 2 Tbsp hemp seeds A protein-packed addition that is optional but highly recommended.
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder Use high-quality, unsweetened cocoa for rich flavor.
  • 1/4 cup collagen peptides Optional, perfect for an extra protein punch.
  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt Feel free to use Greek or dairy-free alternatives.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In your high-powered blender, toss in the baby spinach, ripe bananas, Medjool dates, half an avocado, hemp seeds, cocoa powder, collagen peptides, yogurt, and vanilla extract.
  2. Start at low speed and gradually increase. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
  3. Carefully pour the mixture into popsicle molds, leaving a little space at the top for expansion.
  4. Insert popsicle sticks into the molds and freeze overnight or for at least six hours until solid.
  5. If needed, run warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds to help release the popsicles effortlessly.

Notes

These popsicles can be stored in the freezer for up to a month in an airtight container. Adjust sweetness according to your taste by adding extra Medjool dates or a drizzle of honey or agave syrup.
