I made mine with kale, almond milk, and half the peppermint extract.

Sometimes kale starts going bad by the end of the week but if you make Kale Pops, you'll always have good kale for smoothies or soups. I used kale instead of spinach. http://cleananddelicious.com/2012/07/04/video-frozen-spinach-pops-for-smoothies-protein-shakes/Recipe for Spinach Pops from Dani Spies:
