Smoothie Popsicles

Since it's summetime, I am naturally craving popsicles! My sister bought some of those Flavor Ices (you know, the sugar and water things that you cut the end off of and suck on). They are some of our favorites, but kinda bad. So is ice cream, popsicles, etc. But, I LOVE stuff like that. So I decided to make my own popsicles. I know this is far from original and hardly creative, but I was very excited to have thought of it on my own and make some. So, they turned out very, very good!

Smoothie Popsicles

About 1 cup frozen (or fresh) strawberries
1 banana
1 small container vanilla yogurt (you could also use plain)
1-2 tbsp honey

I put all of that in the blender, blended until smooth, and then poured into a popsicle mold (those can be found here or probably Wal-Mart or Target). Then, stuck them in the freezer! I did, however, have an idiot moment where I couldn't for the life of me get the popsicle out of the mold. I eventually just turned it over and ran a little hot water over it and it popped right out.

I'm sure you can use all types of fruit, smooties, etc, if you like. I think I'll be making lots, and right now some lime sounds really good in one!

Also, I got my bread book that I'm so excited about and started some dough last night. I'll bake some bread today and then do another blog about that whole process, I'm very excited about it!!

I need to hang out with you creative people more :) The closest I got to making popsicles was pouring the left over pickle juice into ice trays with toothpicks for sticks. They were good though!
