4th of July Oreo Pops!
These Oreo pops are so fun and festive! Easy to make and even easier to eat! All you need is a bag of Oreos, some candy melts, and cake pop sticks! This treat is loved by kids and adults alike!
- 1 bag of Oreo cookies
- 1 bag white candy melts
- 1 bag red candy melts
- 1 bag blue candy melts
- cake pop sticks
- festive sprinkles
Separate Oreos
Heat candy melts in microwave in 30 second intervals until fully melted, keep stirring after each interval
Add a little dollop of candy melt on the non-filling side of Oreo, add the stick and sandwich together with the filling side of the Oreo. Let these sit for 15 minutes (this acts as glue so they candy melts harden)
Holding the stick dip or spread desired color candy melt over the oreo!
Decorate with sprinkles, other candy melt colors!
Wishing you a fun, festive and delicious 4th of July!

Rainbow Smoothie
Lately, we have been trying to “eat the rainbow” everyday! Focusing on healthy food choices and eating as many fruits and veggies as possible. This smoothie contains all the colors, Red berries, Orange zest, Yellow banana and mango, green spinach, and Blueberries! Not only is it nutritious but it tastes great too!
Makes 4, 1 cup servings
- 1/2 cup greek yogurt
- 1 1/4 cups almond milk
- 1 cup frozen blueberries
- 1/2 cup frozen fruit medley (we used mango, banana, strawberry medley, you can use any berry assortment that you like)
- 3 tablespoons oats
- 2 big handfuls spinach (definitely an official measurement!)
- 1/4 teaspoon orange zest
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (really good for reducing inflammation!)
- 2 teaspoons flax seed
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- pinch of salt
- Optional: 1 scoop of protein powder or collagen powder
Blend all ingredients together, if the smoothie is too thick for your taste just go ahead and add more almond milk!
Enjoy this tasty treat and daily dose of nutrients too!
xx,
T
