Ya know gogurt, right? The product that supposedly makes yogurt, which is already conveniently packaged, even more convenient. Here I took that idea and applied it to something that could actually benefit from convenience and mobility- my favorite green smoothie. These are awesome for storing in the freezer at work. Just take one out 30 minutes before to let it unfreeze, snip the top off, and either stick a tiny straw in the top or eat it gogurt/ice candy style. If you are too impatient to wait for it to unfreeze, eat it frozen and call it a smoothie popsicle. I used my go-to green smoothie recipe for these photos but you can do this with any smoothie recipe that you’d like.
As I explained in the Irish Chocolate Whiskey Ice Candy post, if you live in the US – where ice candy bags are impossible to find – you will need to purchase 1″ polytubing from Uline.
I need a catchy name for these. Suggestions?

Kaycee - I love this idea so much! What kind of ‘plastic tubing’ do you use? I HAVE to do this! (Orange cats are the best, I have 2!)
Brittany - Yes. This combines the 8 year old me begging my mom for “Gogurt” and the current 20 year old me, thanking my mom for raising me to choose green smoothies over “Gogurt”. Goothies? no that’s a terrible suggestion. my apologies.
Love your blog :-)
