Mini Pineapple and Coconut popsicles

These Mini Pineapple and Coconut popsicles are made with just 2 main ingredients, a simple snack for babies or toddlers made of coconut milk and pineapple. So easy and yummy!

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

On another note, the third and not the least ingredient; salt, is really important in order to bring out the flavours! It will bring out the sweetness of both our tropical ingredients.

A mini format

For minis, they need to snack often in order to keep their blood sugar regulated. Often, the dilemma of parents is to give a snack that won’t fill too much in order 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.

Babies proof too

It’s a great popsicle for the minis too, and will provide a nice relief for the teething ones! 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 some weight, but always make sure no added sugar is added to the product.

Homemade vs. The Store

In our modern times, whatever you end up buying in the supermarket is filled with some kind of sugar or preservatives. It makes it more appealing to miss out on the artificial stuff and make your own popsicles or ice pops for your little ones. Plus, making them with the actual fruit gives your kids the well-needed fibres they often omit in industrial versions. Plus, if it’s intended for little ones, no need to make big popsicles that result in a mess and fill them up for the whole day. Get them those new tiny-sized popsicle containers that will prevent them from getting too much. (Here is the link to my silicon mould for mini popsicles)
