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!

Great idea! I make smoothies like these for my kids, and I think they’d love them frozen, too.
Pure genius! What a great idea.
How cute! I’ll bet they loved this fresh take on smoothies!
My kids would love this – thanks for a great idea!
Genius! I’ve always frozen leftover smoothies in a cup… This is a great idea!
What a great idea, I love smoothies but hate to throw the leftovers away! Next time I’ll be freezing them and I can’t wait to see the reaction from my kids when I pull them out the next morning. How fun! Thanks for the idea!
OMG! You are a ROCKSTAR! Awesome idea!! I always forced myself to drink the last of the smoothies, I’m SOOOOOOOOOO loving this!! Thanks!!
Ditto on all of the above!! You are the coolest!
Good thinking! No waste of yesterday’s smoothies and coolness, too!

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.
Great idea!! I can’t wait to share this idea with friends and try them out on the fiancee…he’s a huge fan of healthy popsicles!

I love this idea. Thanks for sharing.
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.
