Post Workout Blueberry Smoothie Popsicles

I am not kidding you Karviva Ace Sports Drinks are the only thing I drink after a workout. Whenever I rave about that I feel like people don’t believe me and think it must be because I work with Karuna who started the Karviva line. However, that could not be farther from the truth. One thing that I feel if you have followed along with HGHF for awhile you know is that I only partner and work with brands I use all the time and genuinely love. It needs to be a partnership that we both are on a similar mission & mindset of fueling our body with real food, real ingredients and empowering our mind body & soul! That is exactly Karuna. These Post Workout Blueberry Smoothie Popsicles encompass one of my favorite post work out drinks and I cannot wait to share these with you!

What makes these Post Workout Blueberry Smoothie Popsicles so amazing?

I did all kinds of sports growing up from Basketball to Volleyball, Softball to Dance– I can tell you my favorite sports drink was blue from a certain leading brand. I use to enjoy getting them at the softball concession stand. Now as I am older I got to thinking, how is that sports drink really NEON blue or NEON green. Last time I checked there isn’t really anything natural with those colors. I started doing research and found out that neon yellow/green color just like mountain dews color is actually a dye that is BANNED in other countries. We are still one of the only countries that allows that dye in our drinks. Mountain Dew that is sold in other countries uses a naturally derived dye because those countries banned the ones we use. Isn’t that a wake up call?

That is where Karviva comes in. Not only does it make me feel amazing after my workouts, but I know what is going into my body is also GOOD for me. No dyes that are banned in other countries lol. Karviva sport drinks are packed with

• Natural Collagen that helps promote join, skin and hair health
• Amazing source of copper and manganese
• No dyes, no added sugar and only made with real fruits
• Packed with antioxidants: C, vitamin A and selenium
• Low in calories & sodium

Questions When Making the Post Workout Blueberry Smoothie Popsicles

Can I use the other Karviva Ace Sports Drinks when making them?

Yes! I would use which ever one you would like with the blueberries– I plan on making it with the Watermelon Karviva drink next week, that one is my all time favorite!

If I don’t have fresh blueberries can I use frozen blueberries for the Post Workout Blueberry Smoothie Popsicles?

Yes, frozen blueberries would work perfectly in this recipe!

Am I able to use dairy free yogurt to the recipe instead of Greek Yogurt for the Post Workout Blueberry Smoothie Popsicles?

Yes, you can use DF yogurt. I recommend using vanilla dairy free Greek Yogurt since the recipe calls for regular vanilla Greek Yogurt. That will make sure the same sweetness is there.

How long do I freeze the popsicles before taking out of the molds?

Freeze for at least 5 hours. Especially if you are using plastic Popsicles molds. I linked our favorite popsicle molds to use above. I will link it here too!

I am allergic to bananas can I make the Post Workout Blueberry Smoothie Popsicles without it?

I have not tried this recipe without bananas. The ripe banana provides it with a balanced sweetness taste with the Karviva and yogurt. You can try it but it might not be a sweet.

How long do these popsicles last in the the freezer?

The ones I linked above actually come with bags to individually wrap them in to last longer and easy to pull out of the freezer to eat! They last about 6 to 8 months in the freezer when stored properly.
