Healthy Baby Beans

Homemade popsicles is a tradition in my home.  I love them because they are fun for kids and full of nutrition for me (and my child).  I do not mind if my child has them before a meal, during a meal and after a meal.  They do not have artificial sweetener, coloring or flavoring but as you can see they are brilliant in color and will soon learn they are packed with sweetness with a swirl of tartness and a hint of the tropics.
