you know how there's always a little extra smoothie in the blender after you pour your glass full? don't pour it down the drain! instead keep popsicle molds at the ready to fill with the leftover goodness.
(then get ready for happy smiles on a hot day).
"can you believe how good these are?"
to make a big batch at once of creamy fruit-sickles: blend equal parts fresh and/or frozen berries with plain yogurt (i love brown cow) and freeze.
yummmmmy!
Girl your images are so so clear. Do you do any sort of picture taking classes? I would so be one of your students :) Just curious what mode do you shoot on most? Or do you set up each shot manually?

If kirsti reads this you probably need to stress that it is NOT a good idea to try to get that little bit of extra smoothie out of the bottom of the blender with your fingers....she can't afford any more damage.

Great idea! I've also been considering packing smoothies instead of milk into my kindergartener's lunch, come next week. I wonder if a four-hour-old smoothie (even insulated and with a "frozen brick") would separate out and taste thin and banana-y. I'll try this instead for an after-school treat.

We do this all the time! I definately recommend round molds. Although, yours are oval and it looks like they came out of the mold well.

Great idea. We have smoothies almost every day and I always just force myself to eat the extras. I hate to throw them away. I'll try this.
