Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 1 cup milk of choice
- 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (whole milk or 2% recommended)
- 2 ripe bananas
Flavorings
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional
- Melted chocolate for drizzling over frozen popsicles (optional)
Instructions
- Blend Ingredients: Place the milk, Greek yogurt, ripe bananas, cocoa powder, peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract in a blender. Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
- Fill Popsicle Molds: Pour the blended mixture evenly into popsicle molds. Insert popsicle sticks into each mold carefully so they stand upright.
- Freeze: Place the filled molds in the freezer. Freeze until the popsicles are solid, which takes at least 4 to 6 hours. For best results, freeze overnight.
- Optional Drizzle: Once the popsicles are fully frozen and removed from molds, drizzle melted chocolate over them for added flavor and decoration if desired.
Notes
- Use ripe bananas for the best natural sweetness and creaminess.
- Greek yogurt provides protein and a thick texture; whole milk or 2% milk keeps the pops creamy.
- Adjust the sweetness with honey or maple syrup to your preference.
- Ensure popsicles are fully frozen before serving to prevent melting.
- You can substitute peanut butter with almond or cashew butter if preferred.
- Melted chocolate drizzle is optional but adds a nice finishing touch.
