SIMPLE INGREDIENTS YOU NEED FOR THE FROZEN YOGURT BANANA POPS

You will need the following ingredients listed below to make this delicious banana pop recipe (the exact measurements, nutrition information and full recipe are in the printable recipe card below):

• Toppings (optional): Halloween sprinkles, colorful sprinkles, granola, mini chocolate chips or candy eyes, chopped nuts, shredded coconut, etc.

HOW TO MAKE THIS HEALTHY SNACK

1. Peel the bananas and cut them in half. Insert a popsicle stick or skewer into each banana piece, making sure it’s secure.

3. Dip each banana piece into the yogurt mixture, using a small spoon to help coat it evenly.
4. Roll the yogurt-coated banana in your choice of toppings if using. Try Halloween sprinkles, 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 pan or cookie 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.
