Teething Popsicle for Babies

These mini pineapples and coconut teething popsicles for babies are made with just two main ingredients, a simple and sugar-free snack to refresh them on a hot summer day.

My kid’s favourite! The ‘Oh mighty’ Pineapple coconut teething popsicle for babies recipe is a real hit! Frankly, it’s almost too simple to make a recipe out of it, but it did make my kids happy for so long. So, I needed to share the goods! These Pineapple and Coconut popsicles work well with other variations, whether mango, passion fruit, strawberry or kiwi. All winning combos! It’s a yummy popsicle and will provide tremendous relief for the teething ones!

Teething Popsicle for Babies

A Format for Babies

Minis need to snack often to keep their blood sugar regulated. Often, parents’ dilemma is to give them a snack that won’t fill too much to eat their dinner later… These little frozen bites are a perfect size, and the fact that they’ve got a bit of coconut fat in them and last a while to eat gives you a chance to reach dinner. Plus, it keeps them refreshed on a hot summer afternoon! The perfect snack!

Coconut milk

When choosing your coconut milk in the store, try to get a no-sugar one; no need for extra sugar since the pineapple is filled with natural sugars. You could also use coconut cream for extra fat if the baby needs to gain weight, but always ensure no added sugar is added to the product. Coconut milk is filled with nutrients for the baby and fat, which the baby needs to build a healthy brain and skin. Another fun fact about coconut milk is that it helps mildly constipated kids to soften their stool! So a magic ingredient!

Homemade vs. The Store

In modern times, whatever you buy in the supermarket is filled with sugar, colouring or preservatives. Plus, making them with the actual fruit gives your kids the well-needed fibres they often omit in industrial versions. Also, the size is never thought for little ones; there is no need to make giant popsicles that result in a mess and fill them up for the whole day, which is not the idea of a snack. Get those new tiny-sized popsicle containers or a simple ice cube tray to prevent them from getting too much (here is the link to my silicon mould for mini popsicles).

Variations

As mentioned above, this recipe is suitable for many fruits or mix of fruits. Our personal favourite is mango and pineapple. Mango brings this extra smooth texture and colour to the popsicles. On another note, the third ingredient, salt, is essential to bring out the flavours! It will bring out the sweetness of both our tropical ingredients. Of course, you can omit the salt if it’s intended for little ones under one year old.
