We all know that kids love popsicles. I like freezing leftover smoothies into popsicles for my kids, but traditionally, we would need to wait for the next day for the pops to freeze. With the ZOKU Quick Pop Maker, you can make a smoothie and freeze it into popsicles in less than 7 minutes! This machine is compact enough to keep it in my freezer so that we can make popsicles and eat them anytime we want. My kindergartener loves to make popsicles in the ZOKU Quick Pop Maker herself. Here, we turned a kale smoothie into yummy green pops.
Kale and pineapple popsicles + smoothie

Instructions
-
Blend all ingredients in a high-speed blender until smooth.

Recipe Notes
1. The quick pop maker must be frozen 24 hours in advance.
2. Natural sweeteners such as honey will enhance the taste and help popsicles come out of the maker. Do not use sugar-free beverages in the maker.
