Smoothie Pops for Tots

Dear Diary,

Now that my daughter is four, I can no longer use the “baby weight” excuse. As a matter of fact, I think that excuse expired many moons ago. Most people attempt to diet after the New Year, but I’m trying to cut calories in the summer. My daughter and my addiction–ice cream! It’s everywhere! At the zoo, at the park, at the swimming pool. It’s the official summer treat, but sometimes we needed a treat that’s nicer to my waistline.

But we still crave something sweet that keeps us cool. Shamrock Farms protein smoothie pops for tots hit the spot! We used our new Hamilton Beach® Wave-Action® Blender to make this easy peasy recipe. As a matter of fact, my four-year-old mostly made it by herself! And we only needed a handful of ingredients.

Ingredients

• ½ cup Shamrock Farms Strawberry Reduced Fat mmmmilk (It also comes in white and chocolate milk at Walmart)
• 1 cup Greek vanilla yogurt
• Your choice of fresh or frozen fruit (berries are our favorite! We tossed in blueberries and raspberries.)

Directions

• Combine Shamrock Farms Strawberry Reduced Fat Milk and Greek vanilla yogurt, pour into blender.
• Add desired fruit (about a handful of each), can be a mix of fresh and frozen fruit. Blend until smooth.
• Add the mixture to your favorite popsicle molds. Freeze for 3 to 4 hours and enjoy! While you wait for your pops to freeze, pour the remaining contents into cups for a yummy smoothie.

Hamilton Beach® Wave~Action® Blender easily makes smoothies or shakes, and it’s also great for making soups, sauces or salsa. Ordinary blenders spin contents around the walls of the jar, which can leave whole chunks untouched by the blades. The lid comes with pour spout and filler cap, which makes blending easy for kids. Of course, we unplugged the blender when Caitlynn added the ingredients with the stir spoon.

Not only did we enjoy our delicious dessert, we also enjoyed whipping it up together.
