Raspberry & Banana Smoothie Popsicles
By Claire Georgiou, Reboot Naturopath, B.HSc ND
If you’re a little tired of drinking your daily smoothie, you can switch it up by turning your smoothie into a popsicle! This is a get kids into smoothies, particularly in warmer weather. You can add in more produce to leafy greens to build a rainbow of color: add leafy greens in for some green, blueberries in for blue, and strawberries for red. If you’re on a Reboot, you can also freeze your juice into popsicles to add a cooling crunch to your daily plan. When you’re not on a Reboot, you can also dip these into some melted chocolate and make them even more fun for an extra cacao health kick!
