It all started as a failed attempt at chocolate ice pops. One mistake turned into a supreme breakfast treat!
I mixed Amazing Grass Kidz Superfood Chocolate powder with milk and poured into ice pop molds. While they chilled, the powder sank to the bottom of the molds, making a thin gritty layer at the tip of each ice pop. Ecogirl did NOT approve. Neither did I. Yuck.
Back to the drawing board. I figured I’d put the pops into the blender and turn them back into a smoothie-like drink. Into the blender they went, along with frozen strawberries, half a frozen banana, and a handful of raw spinach. What happened next was sheer magic.
As I blended, the frozen ingredients slowly became the consistency of soft-serve ice cream. I had a “eureka” moment, stopped right there, and asked Ecogirl if she’d like to have ice cream for breakfast instead of a smoothie.
Boy, did her eyes open wide! “Really Mommy???”
Oh yes, pookie bear!
This breakfast ice cream is mom-approved, filled with only the good stuff. Make it vegan by swapping the milk for a non-dairy alternative like almond milk, rice milk, soy milk, etc.
- 3 frozen ice pops made with milk and chocolate greens powder
- 1/2 frozen banana
- 4 frozen strawberries
- Handful of raw spinach
- Place all ingredients in high powered blender like Vitamix and blend on high, using tamper/plunger rod to stir and mash ingredients into blades. This starts out quite thick, since three of the four ingredients are frozen solid.
- When the mixture reaches the texture of soft serve ice cream, stop blending and serve.
