Denise's Fruit Smoothie Popsicles

Submitted by ElizabethKnicely

"Whenever we have fruit that doesn't get eaten before it starts to droop we store it in the freezer until we can use it at a later date. Bananas are super easy to freezer right in their own peel and we store strawberries, blueberries, cantaloupe and other leftover fruit in plastic freezer bags for use in breads, pancakes, smoothies and these fabulous popsicles. They taste like ice cream and they're so good that the kids beg for more."
