Love the Summer when it's hot and we need something fresh and cool to hydrate our bodies. Making homemade popsicles are what I do with seasonal fruits and ingredients readily available in my pantry & fridge. Here's a tasty healthy treat that adults & kids will enjoy, also a fun kid food project. Happy Summer!
Ingredients:
2 large Bananas, overripe
1/4 cup smooth Peanut Butter, you can use Almond Butter
1/4 Milk, you can use Almond Milk
1 1/2 cup Vanilla Yogurt, I use 4-4 oz Activia cups , you can use plain yogurt & add 1 tsp vanilla extract
1-2 Tablespoons Honey or Maple syrup, to taste
Popsicle mold & Sticks
Directions:
In a food processor or blender, blend smooth bananas, peanut butter then add all remaining ingredients all together.
Pour into popsicle mold, keep at least 1 inch from top, they expand (I like using the silicone mold)
Place cover on then add your sticks, put mold on a small cookie tray, this helps to keep from tipping over and keep the ingredients straight while freezing.
Freeze 5-6 hours or longer.
To pop out popsicles, Place mold 1/2 way into a bowl of warm water, 3-5 minute wiggling them gently to release from the mold.
Makes 10 Popsicles
Serve immediately & Enjoy!
