Green Popsicles

For St. Patrick's Day, we made green smoothies for dinner. Colby loved them, so I turned the leftover into popsicles the next day. He had no idea he was actually eating something good for him :)


Recipe:
In a food processer/blender mix the following:
- Banana
- Apple/Pineapple Juice
- Milk (just a little)
- 1 tsp sugar
- fresh spinach (hence the green color)

For the smoothies, I crused in ice as well.
They're actually really good. The sugar and the banana cut the bitterness of the spinach.

Hours of Fun

I'm not sure how this idea popped in my head, but it sure was a success.


I got 2 big bowls and a few measuring cups & spoons out. Then, I poured some dry rice in one bowl. Colby had the best time scooping the rice out of one bowl and pouring it into the other. He even started leveling off his measuring cup like we do when we bake. This cheap little activity kept him busy for hours! Since we kept it on the hardwood floors, cleanup was easy too.
