Strawberry Banana: For a classic, fruity flavor, blend ripe bananas, plain or Greek yogurt, and fresh or frozen strawberries.
Peanut Butter Banana: Puree banana, Greek yogurt, a little bit of vanilla essence, and peanut butter together, then add mini chocolate chips to the molds.
Berry Layered Crunch: Pour the blended banana-yogurt mixture over a layer of chopped mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries) at the bottom of the mold.
Fun Topping Pops: You can coat whole or sliced banana pops in vanilla Greek yogurt and roll them in rainbow sprinkles, crushed nuts, granola, or mini chocolate chips.
Dairy-Free Option: If you want dairy free option, replace regular Greek yogurt with thick plant-based alternatives like coconut, almond, or oat milk yogurt.
How to store this and for how long?
Container: Place the frozen popsicles in a single layer inside an airtight, freezer-safe container or bag.
Separation: Place small pieces of parchment paper between the popsicles so they don’t stick to each other.
