Fruit Smoothie Ice Pops


Recently my daughter was not feeling well and running a fever so I made a fruit smoothie and stuck it in the freezer!  It was a nice treat to help keep her cool with the fever while also providing some vitamin C and other vitamins and nutrients from the fruit!

Ingredients:
Strawberries and blueberries (you can use any fruits you like!)
4oz blueberry yogurt (again can use any flavor you like) 
1/2 C Orange juice
2 TBSP Honey
Pinch or so of Flax Seed
Crushed ice
Water (just a little bit)

I'll be honest I don't usually measure.  I just add what I think I'll like and have always been happy with the outcome.  When I make smoothies for myself I usually don't add the juice but instead just add water.  Since these are for my kids I use the juice for the extra taste!








These fruit smoothie ice pops are so good, so easy to make and super healthy! Also perfect for those hot summer days which will be here before we know it!

  1. We love fruit smoothie pops. I don't normally add the orange juice so I am going to make some with a little orange juice. I think that would bring out the other flavors more.
