Smoothies ARE a Culinary Skill… Right?

I can make a mean smoothie – the popular blood orange green smoothie is still going strong in our house 5 years after I whipped it up for the first time. Now I know all of the “real” cooks out there are thinking, “that is not a culinary skill.”

Now, if you’ve ever tried making popsicles or smoothie-sicles, you know that it’s a pain to get them OUT! I’ve been tricked into buying pop maker after pop maker – and I was even cut once by breaking plastic – so I was apprehensive to try yet another product.

But I finally found the Freezer Pops Maker

that is so easy to use and just the right size for a small, sweet treat (for kids or adult-sized kids in need of a healthy, sweet snack).

We usually have a smoothie as part of our breakfast and then enjoy the pops for an afternoon snack or save them for another day. They usually only hang around a couple days in our house.

Smoothie Pops

When I want to make the pops, use the recipe below (or any other) and add a bit more coconut water. You don’t need much to extend the recipe (maybe 1/3 of a cup) and it works just fine for an additional 3-6 of these little pops. Psst: that’s a great feature of these pop makers – you can separate them for easy storage or if you only want to make a few pops

Blueberry Smoothie Recipe

To make the smoothie, add all of the ingredients in a blender and select the “make mommy a margarita” option if you have one (ice crushing).

1/2 c frozen (or fresh) organic blueberries
1 small banana
1/2 c organic Greek yogurt
1/2 – 1 c non-flavored coconut water (can use water; use more if you want leftovers to make pops)
1/2 c organic reduced-fat milk (or substitute)
2 handfuls of spinach (or kale)
1 tbsp chia seeds
1/2 – 1 tbsp of honey (optional, if your kids need sweetness to cut the greens)
