Smoothie Pops

With the recent warm weather we are having it's the perfect time to talk about a popular treat for the kids.  Instead of buying Popsicles that are full of sugar and other ingredients you can't read, why not make your own. Here's a recipe we've tried but don't be afraid to get creative with them! 

Ingredients:
1 cup almond milk(whatever your flavor of choice is)
1/2 cup of organic orange juice
1 cup of blueberries(fresh or frozen organic)
1 cup of raspberries(fresh or frozen organic)
1 cup strawberries(fresh or frozen organic)
5 slices of organic frozen peaches
Handful of spinach
1 banana

Extras to add that are optional, but really good for you:
 1 tsp. cacao powder
 1 tsp. bee pollen
 1 tbs of a liquid form of children's vitamins

Directions:
Mix all ingredients together in a blender and pour into Popsicle molds, then freeze.  Usually ready in 6-8 hours.  Makes 8 Popsicles.

Kids love them!
