I’m totally loving these popsicle molds by Tovelo. My son absolutely adores them too and has not stopped asking about them since they arrived at our door last week. We have some cheapie ones from Target as well but I’m afraid those aren’t BPA FREE. Which is why I bought these they’re not lined with BPA. Instead they’re made without the yuckies and they’re groovy.
These rocket pops remind me of the “bomb pops” I grew up on from the ice cream man. Except that the mixtures that going into these rocket pops are100% natural! I made a green smoothie version and poured it right into the molds. Hooray for healthy treats! My mom let me borrow her VitaMix blender so I could pulverize some flax seeds and I decided I would take advantage of it’s mighty power and blend up the fresh strawberries we’d bought and make popsicles for Tristan.
Here’s what you need:
3-4 pineapples spears
1 1/2 cups of strawberries
1 banana
1 big handful of your favorite green- we used spinach and it was probably a little less than a handful. -
About a 1tsp of agave (optional)
ENJOY!
This is definitely something the kids will love to snack on for a treat. What makes it so great is that your kids will eat it right up and not care a bit about the greens AND it’s a perfect way to cool off in the summer. My son LOVES this recipe. Create your own and have fun with it!
What’s your favorite summer smoothie mixture?

Wow! My girls would LOVE this. They are so adorable.
I’m not a smoothie sort of girl. They’re too thick and sweet for me, but my kids go nuts for them. I’m all over it.

We have these molds and I filled mine today. I just used some organic juice, but I want to try your smoothie recipe with hidden nutrients like flax and spinach! YUM!
