- Use snack size ziplock bags and double sided tape. Cut tape to the length of the ziplock bag, Attach the tape on one side of the bag, closer to the opening. Open the bag and pour the smoothie into the bag halfway (do not fill the bag because it has to be folded over itself to create the shape of a popsicle bag).
