Fruit Smoothie Pops

This is a great way to get kids to eat fruit!  The smoothie pops are so sweet and yummy, kids don’t realize that they’re healthy!  You can use any kind of fruit and juice that you like.  Here's what we do...

Put a splash of juice (apple, orange, pineapple), several large spoonfuls of plain yogurt, and unfrozen fruit (ripe banana, pineapple, etc) into the blender.  Add frozen fruit of your choice (strawberries, peaches, raspberries, blueberries, etc) to the blender.  Blend until smooth.  Pour into popsicle molds*, freeze, and enjoy!

*Big Brother loves Elmo.  I found small disposable Sesame Street cups, poured the excess smoothie mixture in the cups, put the cups in a Ziploc bag, and froze them.  He loves to use a spoon and eat right out of the cup. - It's similar to eating ice cream.
