    Lime Green Smoothie Poppers made with Key lime yogurt, apple juice and fresh spinach.
    Carrot Mango Smoothie Poppers made with vanilla yogurt, carrot juice, apple juice and fresh mango.

    Now… let’s get poppin’!

    Here’s how to make Blueberry Grape Smoothie Poppers.

    Gather the goods: Concord grape juice, fresh blueberries, vanilla yogurt and unflavored gelatin.

    In a large bowl, sprinkle gelatin on 1/2 cup cold grape juice to soften; let stand 1 minute. Add 3/4 cup hot grape juice to gelatin mixture, and stir about 2 minutes or until gelatin is dissolved. Meanwhile, blend yogurt and blueberries until smooth. Stir yogurt mixture into dissolved gelatin mixture.

    Pour into lightly greased 9x5-inch loaf pan. Cover and refrigerate until firm, about 4 hours.

    Once set, cut into cubes or use small cookie cutters to cut into fun shapes. That’s it! The smoothie poppers are ready to grab and go.
