Frozen Yogurt Banana Pops – make a healthy treat

Try a healthy Frozen Yogurt Banana Treat. It’s easy to make, and a nice dessert option instead of ice cream when you’re trying not to be too bad. Crushed peanuts and coconut flakes make this yogurt banana popsicle extra tasty, and a chocolate chip or two won’t hurt, especially if you’re making it as a ghostly Halloween treat for some lucky kid.

How to make a frozen Yogurt Banana Pop

• Peel a banana!
• You can use 1 banana to make 2 popsicles, or 4 popsicles.
• For two frozen treats, just cut the banana in two. This size makes a yummy pop, but can be a bit much if frozen for a loooong time; for easier to eat frozen banana popsicles, cut the halves into lengthwise halves.
• Poke a stick into the center of the banana. A thin stick will be needed for smaller popsicles, otherwise the banana will split.
• Roll or dip the banana stick in yogurt and coat thoroughly. Thick, Greek yogurt is ideal for a nice coating.
• Place pops on wax paper and Freeze AT LEAST 1 hour. The longer it freezes, the more like a popsicle they will become, but it will take at least 1 hour for minimum frozen popsicle satisfaction.
• For fancy popsicles, roll the banana sticks in crushed peanuts and coconut flakes. This can be done before or after the pops are coated in yogurt.
• For extra coconut flavor, toast the coconut flakes.
• For a more decadent dessert, sprinkle the yogurt covered pops with chocolate chips before freezing. Or M&M’s…or any kind of sprinkles you like.
• And for a spooky treat for the children, use chocolate chips to shape eyes and a mouth to make a yogurt/banana ghost. This is an easy and healthy low-calorie treat to make around Halloween.
• And if you’re not counting calories, use white (or dark) chocolate instead of yogurt; simply melt chocolate in a skillet and roll the banana sticks to coat.
