The Summer of Smoothie Popsicles

May 25, 2015 | 141 Comments |This post contains affiliate links.

The best popsicle molds + everything you need for healthy, happy summer snacking! // One Lovely Life Friends, it really is the Summer of the Smoothie Popsicle. We love them. Refreshing, healthy, and made of wholesome, real ingredients. Today, I wanted to share a few tools of the popsicle trade to kick off summer AND send a prize home with one of you!

The Basics

Popsicle molds come in all shapes, sizes, and price points. I have far too many popsicle molds, but we use them all! The first popsicle mold I ever purchased was from the Target dollar spot. It’s still in great condition.  Several were scored for a steal on Zulily, some were scored at Ross and TJ Maxx, and some I picked up at trusty ol’ Amazon.

But you don’t need a mold to make smoothie popsicles. Just some little paper cups, or cute, patterned paper baking cups will do.

I prefer to use wooden sticks instead of the plastic ones. For the most part, I find they’re sturdier, and I think it’s easier to pull popsicles from their molds with a wooden stick.

Nearly any smoothie will work. If I make a smoothie for breakfast or afternoon snack and there’s a little leftover, I pour it into a popsicle mold.

Favorite Tools of the Trade

  • Norpro Ice Pop Maker – This probably gets the most use at our house
  • Greenco Ice Pop Maker – This makes those twin-pops that are great for little eaters.
  • Tovolo Ice Pop Molds – Tovolo is a great brand. They have all sorts of shapes and sizes. We have the star molds and these grooved molds. They also have rockets and more. Lots of fun shapes!
  • Eskimo Paper Baking Cups – These come in lots of patterns that are adorable for parties or birthdays. I use them when I want something a little prettier than regular Dixie cups.
  • Wooden Popsicle Sticks – I get these in bulk. Look for them anywhere from Target to World Market. They’re always on sale somewhere!

    Popsicle molds are a definite during the summer weather. They are so awesome to make your own with fresh ingredients. Goodness- the colors of this beautiful blender are killing me, lol. I agree with you- I would have to go with the Polar White. Drooling over it! xo
