I have fond memories of hearing the ice cream truck music playing, begging for some change from my parents and painstakingly deciding which cool treat I wanted the most. Although they weren’t a glamorous choice, an orange push pop was always a delicious option. It was always a race to eat the sweet treat before the melting mess ruined the cardboard casing. With the warm weather fleeting, this drink is a great way to enjoy a few more moments of summer.
When the writer at averie cooks stated that she had replicated the orange push pop with this smoothie, I was skeptical but thought it was worth trying. Who wouldn’t want to enjoy this nostalgic childhood treat? We made this orange push up smoothie during naptime and it was so delicious! I had big plans to use the extra smoothie to make popsicles but there was no smoothie left over. It was that good! As the writer mentions, there is a lot of sugar in this recipe but it does make it extra delicious. I promise it’s worth the few extra calories. I didn’t change a thing about this recipe so go check it out here.
When was the last time you tracked down an ice cream truck and enjoyed a novelty treat on a hot summer day?
