Mommy Popsicles + Smoothies

There are the popsicles you can buy at the store, and then, there are Mommy Popsicles. We like Mommy Popsicles for a couple of reasons: We know they are made with real fruit, and they are delicious. In our house, we use the same basic recipe for smoothies and popsicles. For popsicles, all you need is a simple popsicle mold like this one.

INGREDIENTS:

3/4 C of mixed berries*

1 C orange juice**

WHAT TO DO:

  1. Put juice and berries in a mixer.

  2. Blend it up!

  3. Pour now for smoothies; put into molds and place in freezer for popsicles.

* We buy frozen mixed berries and then soften them a bit before mixing. Sometimes we do bananas and blueberries, or tropical fruit. Pick your favorite flavors!

** For less sugar, consider cashew milk or almond milk.
