Happy live blog Wednesday! This little trooper started camp this week, and he couldn’t be more excited. I have him signed up for lots of half-day camps rotating through 5 different organizations, which means I can work in the mornings and we can do fun summer activities all afternoon. This week he has a cooking theme and they baked a cake on Monday!
My breakfast today is a peanut butter, frozen banana, and raspberry smoothie with milk and some Vega Vanilla.
I am in LOVE with these silicone popsicle tubes that I got on Amazon at the recommendation of our neighbors. I love that the tube-style means no dripping or popsicles falling on the floor (although these can get “popped” out if little hands are too pushy!). They are the perfect size, too. I pour any leftover smoothie I have in them all week, and today I added three banana peanut butter flavor popsicles to the collection.
MY OTHER RECIPES
A jar is the perfect stand to use while pouring them, and the lids snap on so they are leak-proof while they freeze (although I use my pizza slot to store them vertically). Great for grown-ups, too!
Have a great Wednesday, my friends!
Love the live blogging posts! Hope you have a great day too! 🙂
Aw I remember my camp days! Feeling nostaligc! A smoothie sounds like a perfect summer breakfast!
The silicone cups are so cute! Never seen this way of making popsicles before!

I never thought to us the excess smoothie in those freezer pops! Thanks for the tip!!! Oh, and I LOVE Vega Vanilla! So yummy!
I do love smoothies — I just wish it was warmer so I didn’t feel cold for the whole day after eating one for breakfast. I know, I know, I’ll be complaining about how hot it is soon enough! : )
Okay, I have to ask because I’ve never heard of it — what is a pizza slot? Lol
It’s a slot in my bottom freezer door advertised for vertically storing frozen pizza boxes. It’s about 2 inches wide. Does that make sense?!
I simply love these kinds of posts, more casual, more family-oriented. I loved getting to know more about your morning routine. Thank you for sharing it!
Ohhh those popisicles look fun I would put yogurt in them and make them go gurts!
Those popsicle cones would be perfect for freezing fat bombs!
those popsicle molds are AWESOME. mine are tricky to get out of the mold, i might have to order the ones you have! thanks for sharing 🙂
How do you freeze your banana? Or do you buy it frozen? I love that idea instead of adding ice to my smoothie.
I just break them into 3-4 pieces and put in a ziplock bag : )
