DIY Fun Smoothie Ice Creams For Kids

Summer is here ...well not for us in the United Kingdom! Did I hear someone say here she goes again ranting about the weather? I can't help it as it's rained cats and dogs all week and there is still no news  of the sunshine :-(

When and If the sun does come out I will like moms and pops to try this DIY fun smoothie ice cream for the kids. Get the kids involved, let them choose the smoothie and make sure it is a nice mix of fruits and vegetables.

This is another way to ensure they have their fruits and vegetables but in a fun way....bit sneaky ha ha!! but if they like it then it will be a winner all round!!

Tools

• Ice cube tray
• strawberries
• low fat yogurt
• plastic cups
• little wooden holders ( I didn't have any so i used a used a straw(You can pick the little wooden forks up when you go to the chip shop haha! or get some from the store)
• smoothie mix ( I used the leftovers from my green and mango smoothie)

Instruction

• pour yogurt in the ice cube tray and place strawberry on top, you can do the same with any other fruit
• Pour  the green smoothie in  the plastic cup, pop some green grapes in and put the ice cream stick in and put it in the freezer overnight

OR 

• Cut  a nice mix of fruits such as strawberries, kiwis,blueberries,oranges, grapes  and place them in the plastic cup, add some orange juice and freeze. This will also make a nice healthy fruit ice cream for the kids.

Green Smoothie Ice Cream and Mango Smoothie for Kids

I think the kids will love it and it's different from the normal sweet and sugar coated ice creams that they are used to. You can make a fun ice cream smoothie with any smoothie mix you like but ensure it is  a mix of fruits and vegetables for them to cool down when the hot summer arrives.
