Frozen Banana Pops

Peel and cut a banana in half crosswise. Stick a popsicle stick halfway through the cut end of the banana. Roll the banana in any flavor yogurt. Use a spoon to get the yogurt onto the bend of the banana. I like to use vanilla flavored fat free yogurt. But you can use whatever the kids choose. Roll the yogurt coated banana into Trail Mix Cereal (remove raisins first). Or roll in nuts, or any other healthy cereal you have crushed beyond recognition! Insert the banana sticks into the cut end of the banana, then place the banana pop standing upright into empty yogurt cups and freeze for at least 4 hours. I got the popsicle sticks at Michaels and I saved the 6 yogurt cups after eating it as a snack every day. Later, I toss them into a ziptop bag and return them to the freezer.

Yogurt Pops

Put in blender: 1 c. almond milk (I use Almond Breeze), 1 cup frozen strawberries, 6 oz raspberry, strawberry or peach flavored yogurt, 2 tablespoons honey. Blend on high speed until smooth. Fill ten 3 oz paper cups (cheap at Walmart) with about 1/4 cup yogurt mixture. Place cups in freezer for 45 minutes. Then insert popsicle sticks and freeze until firm about 1 1/2 hrs. Leave frozen cups on counter for about 3-5 minutes to easily slide pops out. Only about 35 calories per pop.
