The other day as I was perusing Pintrest and other blogs I came across a couple recipes for popsicles. But not just plain old popsicles, new spins on this refreshing summer treat. We decided to make Strawberry Banana Smoothie Popsicles. Because strawberry banana smoothies are my absolute favorite I decided to make that version of these delicious sounding popsicles. So on Saturday we ran to the store and picked up the ingredients.
Ingredients:
-10 Strawberries
-1 Banana
-2 cups of vanilla yogurt
-1/4 cup of milk
Directions:
-Cut up strawberries and bananas
-Measure out your ingredients and place all in the blender
-Blend everything together, ours was a lot thinner than a smoothie would be but this was ok since we were going to freeze it
-Pour into popsicle molds
-Place them in the freezer and freeze until frozen. Ours took about 4-6 hours to be ready
-Enjoy on a hot summer day!
These are so delicious and great for a hot summer day. If you love smoothies then you are going to love these popsicles!
P.S. Those are Tyler’s hands holding the popsicles not mine! He is my wonderful photographer 🙂

Awesome Emily! Thanks for sharing at Foodie Friends Friday!
Beautiful! I’m not big on popsicles, but my kids are. I generally don’t like them because they’re just sugar and ice pretty much. These are very different! The real fruit and the dairy make them AWESOME. Thanks for linking up with our blog share link party!
Mmmmm…these look so good! My family would love them, can’t wait to try. Thanks for the recipe.
Thank you for stopping by the blog! I hope your family enjoys these delicious popsicles!
Great idea! I also end up throwing away the left overs from our smoothie away! What a great idea! Thank you so much for sharing & linking up at Thank You Honey’s Whatever Wednesday Party!! I wanted to personally invite you to add me to your G+ circles or follow me on Twitter, Facebook, & Pinterest as I’ve done the same with you.
Yeah it was a great way to use up those leftovers! Thank you for following me, looking forward to seeing your future posts!

Don’t you love making things like that yourself instead of buying them at the store?! You decide what goes in there and what doesn’t. So much healthier 🙂
Thank you so much for sharing this at Wednesday Extravaganza – can’t wait to see what you share next week 🙂
Yes it is so much better that way. And they were so delicious!
Emily

These look amazing! I love how easy they were to whip together, and they look like a perfect summertime treat. I also like the fact that they don’t seem to use a ton of calories and they are healthy for you even though they look like they could not be.
Yes I agree. They are so delicious!
Emily
NICE! This is such a great idea. I tried to make popsicles, but they wouldn’t come out of the container, lol.
Did you run them under warm water? I feel like we had to do that to get them out haha!
