These smoothie pops are a fun and healthy way to get your kids to eat a portion of fruit. The oat milk is not particularly thick or creamy, so the resulting pops are more like a refreshing ice block than an ice cream. Beautiful on a warm afternoon, or when you donand#8217;t want them to lose their appetite for dinner.
I appreciate that the weather here in Australia has been less than perfect for eating ice blocks. However, itand#8217;s just starting to warm up in the Northern Hemisphere, so this one is for you guys! My lovely Aussie readers will have to bookmark this for Spring/Summer and#8211; or eat them wearing wooly jumpers and#8211; the choice is yours!
Iand#8217;ve used cute little umbrella shaped popsicles that I found for a few bucks at a $2 shop, but they would work just as well in any ice block mould or even in ice cubes for a tiny person portion.
Come to think of it, little ice cubes of this mixture would be great thrown into smoothies to keep them super-chilled. Might try that when the weather warms up. If you try it first, please let me know how you go!
Do you (or your kids) enjoy eating fruit in ice block form?
