Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 medium-large bananas, ripe
- 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups fresh fruit of choice (stems, pits, and thick peels removed)
Instructions
- Prepare Bananas: Peel the ripe bananas and break them into chunks to make blending easier.
- Add Ingredients to Blender: Place banana chunks, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and your chosen fresh fruit into a high-speed blender. Ensure any fruits used are prepped by removing stems, pits, or peels as required.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend all ingredients on high speed until a smooth, uniform mixture forms. If the mixture is too thick or difficult to blend, add a small splash of water or milk to help achieve the desired consistency.
- Fill Molds: Pour the blended mixture into popsicle molds, leaving a small gap at the top to allow for expansion during freezing. Insert popsicle sticks into the molds.
- Freeze Popsicles: Freeze the molds for at least 4 to 6 hours, or preferably overnight, until the popsicles are fully hardened.
- Serve: To remove popsicles, let the molds sit at room temperature for a few minutes or run warm water over the molds to loosen the popsicles. Enjoy your healthy frozen treat!
Notes
- Fruit Ideas: Strawberries, blueberries, mango, peaches, or pineapple all work well and add delicious flavors.
- For creamier popsicles, full-fat Greek yogurt is preferred.
- Adding a splash of milk or water helps blend consistency but avoid adding too much liquid to prevent icy popsicles.
- Make sure fruits are fresh and ripe for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
- Pop out the popsicles gently to prevent breakage; warm water helps release them easily.
