{WFMW} Homemade Smoothie Pops
I’ve recently got this idea from one of the parenting magazines I subscribe too (can’t remember which one!) and I loved it. Homemade smoothie pops. They’re healthier and cheaper than regular, store bought popsicles. They taste delicious. And they’re so easy!
I’ll show you how I did it but you can always tweak it to suit your tastes.
1. Start out by making your favorite smoothie.
I make mine with strawberry or vanilla yogurt because that’s usually what I have on hand. I add frozen strawberries and blueberries, a little milk to thin it out and some honey or Stevia.
2. Pour smoothie into small, plastic cups. Cover with plastic wrap.
These were 4 oz cups which actually came out too big. I bought 2 oz cups for the next batch I’m making. You can also obviously use Popsicle moulds if you have them.
3. Insert popsicle sticks.( I inserted plastic knife handles instead of popsicle sticks because I didn’t have any popsicle sticks!)
4. Freeze for at least 6-8 hours.
*Sidenote- Don’t tell your kids you’re making them because they will ask every half hour if they’re ready yet. Or is that just my kids?
5. Tear (or pop) the popsicles out of the cups/moulds.
6. Enjoy!!
What kind of smoothie would you make for these? How would you tweak it?
These homemade, healthy treats work for me!
