This morning, for just a few minutes, I got to be the coolest mom ever.
Yesterday I deviated a bit from my meal plan and made smoothies for breakfast using bananas, frozen mixed berries, plain yogurt, a handful of oatmeal and a splash of milk. As yummy as they were, there was still some left over when it was time to go.
So I poured the leftovers into popsicle molds, popped them in the freezer, and was a hero this morning.
Works for me!

I always make smoothie pops with the leftovers. I love seeing my son eat them;).
I never heard of adding oatmeal though. Was it cooked or what?
Glad you are enjoying them! The oatmeal is raw… just a handful out of the canister. My friend, an Eat Clean gal, suggested it.

What an awesome idea! I can’t get my daughter to eat any fruits — even in smoothie format. She might eat a popsicle, though! Thanks for the tip.
