With summer fast approaching, I was in search of yet another way to enjoy green smoothies, so I decided to make Green Smoothie Popsicles. The extra cool thing about these is that kids LOVE them! They're so easy, cute, and refreshing...just what we need in hot temperatures. And, the varieties are endless...making watermelon popsicles with a touch of rind is on tomorrow's menu for me. They're going to be so pretty - I'm such a girl! I'm going to call those Princess Popsicles. Here are the ingredients for the Green Smoothie Popsicles featured in the picture:Cinna-Spinach Man
water
splash lemon juice
spinach
mango
cinnamon
Blueberry Ginger Affair
water
spinach
splash lemon juice
blueberries
ginger
Simply blend the ingredients together for the recipe you choose and pour into popsicle molds and freeze. If you don't have popsicle molds, then you can freeze them in an ice cube tray and have Green Smoothie Popsicle Bites.
I'll be at Whole Foods this Saturday featuring my recipe for Summer Strawberry Cobbler. With Father's Day coming up, this is the PERFECT dessert to take (or to any summer party). I promise...people will be begging you for the recipe :) If you're interested in trying it, stop by Whole Foods (Raintree/101 location) between 11am-1pm.

So quess what you stole my idea. I wa stepping out of an nyc cab and said when I get my cafe in the summer I will be selling these. Great minds think alike!
Well, you let me know when your cafe opens, and when I'm in NYC, I'll be sure to stop by and enjoy one of yours!
Cheers,

I think I have to have a Princess Party now for all my daughter's toddler friends, and serve your Princess (watermelon) Popsicles!!! Why not?
:-)
Go pink!
I love it Rawleen!!! Pink always makes me feel like a princess and I'm about to turn 32! haha
Hey Kristen! I still have those popsicle kits left over from a tupperware party! I'm on a 92 day juice feast, but I've got half a watermelon in the fridge just itching to become a green princess popsicle! Thanks for the idea!
Mmm...popsicles are a fun treat no matter what age! Great idea! Oooh and a watermelon one would be the bestest of them all!
And hey I wanna try the strawberry summer cobbler but I won't be in your neck of the woods. Now I'm sad. :(
I guess I'm just gonna have post the cobbler recipe this weekend for everyone who can't come down :)
Cheers,
Kristen
Freakin' Genius! This little girl is so exited to make them for the hot Southern days that have made their way into North Carolina :-)
I love it! You are so creative and this is most definitely a cool and fun idea. I've got to make the loving the Cinna-Spinach Man. Hum, my father was raise in Trinidad and Tobago, what a great treat to present him this Sunday [father's day].
beautiful and so so creative kirsten, as usual- love the idea :-)
thanks a bunch, i have my daughter coming next week and i'm sure she will adore these.......

Do post the cobbler recipe please!
I can't decide which of the popsicles I would want to eat first. They both sound so refreshing.
I wanted to sign up for your enewsletter but got lost following the link. Can you help me out?
Your recipes all look so good, Kristin!
I'm so happy everyone is enjoying the Green Smoothie Popsicle idea (Or pink Princess Popsicles) :) YAY! They're so fun. I'm always looking for ways to change stuff up a bit to keep the fun momentum going.

Happy June!
My 5-year old daughter and I just made the Cinna-Spinach Man popsicles...we can hardly wait until they are frozen!! LOVE this idea. We just finished eating the watermelon so we are off to get another one (or two or three...we like them lots here, too!) :) so we can make the Princess Popsicles. Thanx for the idea!
What a great idea! I will definitely give these a try with my kids (pretty sure I'll enjoy them, too). Thanks for the comment on my blog and for giving me a heads up about this post. I just recently discovered green smoothies and I am lovin' them! Looking forward to reading more of your ideas and recipes in the days to come!

My 3 year old son won't touch greens at all, but while doing a 30 day green smoothie challenge a few months back, I usually had so much that I froze it to keep for later. Little did I know that my son would love the popsicles so much! He's always asking for more, and I am thankful that I have such an easy way to get greens into him. It's great that you're able to spread the word about the "cool" way to get your greens!
brilliant, kristen.
thanks to you there will be kids of all ages with green smiles this summer....
These are great, Kristin! I sometimes freeze green smoothies in ice cube trays and put them through the juicer for green smoothie sorbet. Yummy!
Thanks for commenting me so I could find your incredible blog!! I am so making these popsicles today! My kids will love them.
