Healthy Frozen Smoothie Treats

Cool down with these delicious, healthy frozen smoothie pops—
fruity, fudgy, and refreshingly natural treats for kids and grown-ups alike!

Here at SmoothieMoves I like to expand the definition of "smoothie" to include the healthy, juicy deliciousness in a variety of forms: bowls, smoothie salads, and here, frozen pops!

1. How to Make Coco-Almond-Banana Frozen Pops

Reminiscent of the more popular fudgy frozen treat, this frozen pop has none of the yuck ingredients and all of the yum!

2. How to Make Strawberry-Banana Frozen Pops

Creamy Banana and ripe Strawberry team up to make this unbeatable fresh, healthy frozen delight!

3. How to Make Nectarine-Banana-Cinnamon Frozen Smoothie Treats

This healthy frozen pop contains fresh nectarine and creamy banana with the zing of cinnamon.

4, How to Make Frozen Savory Smoothie Pop

This "grown-up" healthy frozen smoothie pop is alive with fresh greens, the tingle of lemon, and a hint of sassy garlic!

The recipes for the four different frozen pops/popsickles/treats in this article all derive from the popular smoothie drink. Smoothies are a delicious way to take in refreshment and nutrition in a creamy, smooth liquid. The recipes you find here are all what I would consider optimally healthy frozen smoothie treats: there are no high fructose corn ingredients, no artificial sweeteners of any kind, no MSG flavouring agents, and no neon-bright artificial colors-- just natural ingredients chock-full of vitamins and minerals that you want for yourself and your children. And the wonderful thing is: they taste as good as they are for you! As a matter of fact, don't tell your children that you are making some "healthy popsickles"-- just let them taste them!

1. Delicious AND Healthy Coco-Almond-Banana Frozen Smoothie Treat-- Dairy-Free, Gluten-Free, No Fructose, No Preservatives

Frozen Cocoa-Almond-Banana Treats

Ingredients for the Coco-Almond-Banana Frozen Pops

The following makes about 6 frozen Pops:

 

*3 Bananas, ripe, frozen, chopped into 1

*2 teaspoons Cocoa (I used Raw Cacao Powder)

*2 Tablespoons Almond Butter (I used Maranatha Raw)

*8 ounces Almond (or other) Milk

*2 teaspoons Organic Sugar Cane crystals, (NOT artificial sweeteners which are not healthy and stick to the inside of the popsickle maker)

Instructions:

1. Whisk up the Cocoa, Sugar, Milk together in a cup until quite well mixed

2. Put frozen Banana pieces, Almond Butter, and Cocoa Mix into a high speed blender or other blender or food processor, and blend/pulse until very well mixed. There can be some small Banana Chunks if that is okay with you/your child, but the Cocoa should definitely be well blended.

3. Pour mix into your pop-maker forms or device (I use a Quick Pop Frozen Treat Maker) and freeze and serve as per instructions. This also makes a yummy fudgey sorbet, or of course, with more milk, a brain-freezing smoothie.

2. Strawberry-Banana Frozen Smoothie Pop-- 3 ingredients-- as yummy as it looks!

Frozen Strawberry-Banana Smoothie Pops

Ingredients for the Strawberry-Banana Frozen Pops

the following makes 6 frozen smoothie pops

*about 35 small or 20 medium-sized ripe Strawberries

*2 ripe, frozen Bananas, chopped into 1" - 2" segments

*8 ounces of Almond Milk or Water (or other unsweetened juice, mylk)

If you like these frozen smoothie treaats, you might like my recipe for Frozen Grape Slushies.

Instructions

1. Put all ingredients into a high speed blender, regular blender or food processor and blend/pulse until consistent. A few small chunks of strawberry and banana are permitted for texture.

2. Pour into freezing device or containers and freeze and serve as per directions.

3. Nectarine-Banana-Cinnamon Frozen Smoothie Treat

Frozen Nectarine-Cinnamon-Coconut Smoothie Pops

Ingredients for the Nectarine-Banana-Cinnamon Frozen Smoothie Treats

The following ingredients make 6 frozen smoothie pops:

*8 ounces of Coconut Milk (or other milk)

*2 frozen Bananas, cut in 1" - 2" chunks

*2 ripe organic* Nectarines, stone removed, cut in chunks

*1 teaspoon Cinnamon powder

*1 teaspoon natural Sweetener (optional)\

Instructions

1. Put all ingredients into a high speed blender, regular blender or food processor and blend/pulse until consistent. I find that this particular ice bar is much nicer if it is blended thoroughly with no chunks.

2. Pour into freezing device or containers and freeze and serve as per directions.

4. Frozen Savory Smoothie Pop-- a more sophisticated frozen treat

Frozen Savory Smoothie Pops

Ingredients for Frozen Savory Smoothie Pop

This is my fave grown-up frozen smoothie pop... it has a little honey in it for sweetener, but the rest is like having your dreamiest, most refreshing salad ever... after you make the 6 treats if there is some of this left, just drink it!

* 3-5 leaves of Baby Romaine Lettuce

* 3-5 leaves of very tender (Baby) Arugula

* Pint of ripe Cherry or Grape Tomatoes

* 2 cloves Garlic, peeled

* 1/2 English cucumber, peeled

* Juice of 1/2 Lemon

* pinch Cayenne (optional)

* 1/2 tsp. Sea Salt

Instructions

1.  Put all ingredients into a high speed blender, regular blender or food processor and blend/pulse until very smooth.

2. Pour into freezing device or containers and freeze and serve as per directions
