So I added frozen peas to these pops. I thought a mint popsicle would be the perfect place to add peas.They naturally make these green and add nutrients. You’re getting fiber, protein, vitamin A, vitamin C, iron, vitamin B-6, and magnesium from the peas. All good things to be added to a special treat, wouldn’t you say?
There is a tiny drawback to adding them to the popsicles. The texture is slightly compromised and they aren’t as creamy. This was Tim’s biggest gripe about these Mint Chocolate Chip Pea Pops…not creamy enough. The kids and I shrugged our shoulders and kept enjoying our treats while he wondered how to make them creamier. Well, if that’s you, go ahead and take out the peas. I’ll take the extra nutrition.
I wasn’t sure if my kids would like these as Meghan especially doesn’t normally love mint-flavored things. As she gobbled hers down, she exclaimed, “This doesn’t even taste like mint!” I think we just discovered she likes spearmint, but not peppermint. 🙂
Both Meghan and Luke loved these. They are very fresh-tasting with the fresh mint, and of course the chocolate chips pair perfectly with the mint flavor. As far as the taste goes, you would never know the peas are there.
I used vanilla-flavored Silk non dairy yogurt alternative for these, but you can use regular yogurt as well. If you prefer to use plain yogurt, you can sweeten them on your own with maple syrup or honey.
This recipe could not be easier. Blend three ingredients together, pour to be frozen, add the chocolate chips, and you’re done! They make a great special treat on warm days.
I should also note that I used my Zoku Quick Pop Maker to make these frozen treats. This is my favorite way to make frozen popsicles, by far. They are ready in seven minutes! Can all the busy mamas out there give me a hallelujah! This pop maker really feeds into my lack of planning-ahead skills. And the random popsicle requests from my littles, who want them ASAP. I really love this thing. Regular popsicles molds will work, too, of course, you’ll just have to wait a lot longer.
