Has your toddler all but destroyed his silicone-lidded sippy cups? Or is it just my kid? If you’ve got a spilly, puddle-creating sippy cup in your cabinet, make good use of it by deeming it a smoothie cup.
Traditional sippy cups often have too narrow an opening for thicker liquids to flow through. My daughter’s silicone-spouted Tupperware sippy cup definitely doesn’t have a tiny opening anymore, after she’s poked her curious little fingers through it time after time, but she did create a perfectly sized opening for our favorite breakfast smoothie to stream through.
Bottom line: don’t toss that sippy cup, convert it!

This really is such a great tip and one that is a no-brainier, yet I wouldn’t have thought of it before reading your post. Thanks for sharing and hosting, too!! 🙂
Hello! Thanks so much for hosting this party! Hope you have a great week!
Love the idea of reusing well-used sippy cups for smoothies. Molly loves poking her fingers through the enlarged holes too!

Miya, I’m so glad you found our Thurs. mama niche this week. It’s great to have you and I certainly hope you meet a new blogging friend this week. Have a good one!
what a great idea! i never found good cups for our little ones to drink their smoothies out of, i always end up holding one for them!
What about the sippy cups they’ve destroyed to the point that even water has a hard time coming through?! Ugh. So frustrating.
Hmm. I guess those cups are better stashed in the cupboard until they become plain old drinking cups and you just toss the lids.
