HOW TO MAKE THE HOMEMADE BANANA POPSICLES

  1. Peel the bananas and cut them in half. Insert a popsicle stick or skewer into each banana piece, making sure it’s secure.
  2. In a bowl, mix the plain Greek yogurt with a bit of honey if you want some extra sweetness. This step is optional but recommended for a sweeter treat.
  3. Dip banana into the yogurt, using a spoon to help coat it evenly.
  4. Roll the yogurt-coated banana in your choice of toppings. This is the fun part where you can get creative! Try granola for crunch, mini chocolate chips for a treat, or shredded coconut for a tropical twist.
  5. Place the banana pops on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. Put the baking sheet in the freezer for at least 2 hours, or until the yogurt is fully frozen.
  7. Once the banana pops are frozen, they’re ready to enjoy! Store any extras in a freezer-safe container for a quick and healthy snack anytime.

TIPS AND TRICKS FOR BEST RESULTS

  • Use Ripe Bananas: Make sure your bananas are ripe but not overly soft. Ripe bananas are sweeter and more flavorful.
  • Customize Toppings: Get creative with your toppings! You can mix and match different combinations to keep things interesting.
  • Storage: Store leftover banana pops in an airtight container to keep them fresh. They’ll last for about a week in the freezer.
