Amazing Watermelon-Berry Protein Popsicles

June 7, 2017

Now that the weather is warming up (FINALLY), Summer time obsessions like the park and POPSICLES are back in full force! My toddler son was recently introduced to Popsicles by a family member, and OF COURSE, like all things loaded with sugar (that I have actively been avoiding giving him) he loved them!

In my typical, “I’m-not-a regular- mom, I’m- a- cool- mom, but- a- healthy- mom” fashion, instead of buying him store bought popsicles, I figured I could create some killer home- made versions that he would love, but I wouldn’t feel bad about giving him when he asks for them (every five minutes!). Delicious AND Healthy popsicles that my child will actually eat. YES PLEASE!

Here’s What you Need:

  • 1 cup Watermelon
  • 2 cups plain Greek Yogurt
  • 1 cup frozen strawberries (or mixed berries)
  • 1 cup spinach
  • 1 TBS stevia ( if desired- I didn’t add this, but feel free to!)
  • 1/4 cup mint, roughly chopped
  • popsicle mold, I love this one from Bella Casa

 

Method:

  1. Combine everything in a blender and blend on high until thoroughly mixed (you should not be able to tell there was spinach and mint added!)
  2. Pour into popsicle mold
  3. Freeze for 8-10 hours
  4. If you have extra mix, store in the fridge in airtight container and use to re- fill mold when necessary ( I kept my mix for 3-4 days and it was fine!)
  5. Enjoy feeling like a hero while your mini eats vegetables in their popsicle!

 

We would love to see your little’s enjoying these EPIC protein popsicles! Be sure to tag us on instagram or send us an email at rivercitysisters@gmail.com!

Spring is in the Air! I don’t know about you, bu Spring is in the Air! I don’t know about you, but I’m getting the urge to redecorate, AGAIN! Sorry, husband! 🤪

Whether it’s spring fever or cabin fever,  I’ve never spent more time fixing and switching up our space than in the past year. The folks at the home improvement stores practically know me by name! 🙈

But what happens when you’ve found the pampas grass, end table or plant baby of your dreams and can’t get it to fit in your small car or the back of a taxi? 😩

@communauto_yeg to the rescue! They have several amazing SUV’s in their fleet boasting awesome trunk space. With car sharing service available for a few hours, or even a few days (in case you decide to take your DIY-ing to the next level), you can tackle any home Reno project you dare 🙌

Unsure how to get started with Communauto? Check out our blog post (link in bio) for lots of helpful information!

I know a Girl, she puts the COLOR inside of my wor I know a Girl, she puts the COLOR inside of my world ✨

...and that’s an understatement! To know Frankie is to Love her! Truly!

This little lady brings so much joy, laughter and sweetness to everything and everyone around her. Which is a very good thing - considering she prefers to rise before the sun, has a serious stubborn streak and is a tiny tornado always leaving a trail of crumbs in her wake! 🤪

In all seriousness, she is such a bright light in our lives, and has taught me more in the last three years than I ever thought possible. I am grateful to God everyday that He chose me to be her mama. 🤍 

Happy T H I R D Birthday my love, may you never change!
