BANANA POPSILCES (NOT CHOCLOATE)
Serves 1
Directions
- 1Break the bananas into chunks and pit your dates (if they’re a bit dry, soak them in warm water for 5–10 minutes to soften first).
- 2Add the bananas, dates, yoghurt, and vanilla extract to a blender. Blend everything on high until smooth and creamy. The texture should be like a thick smoothie.
- 3If you're making these for toddlers or adults, feel free to taste the mixture. You can add an extra date if you’d like it sweeter (skip this for babies under 1 to keep sugar low).
- 4Carefully pour the blended mixture into popsicle molds. For babies, use baby-friendly popsicle molds that are smaller and have easy-to-hold handles. For older kids and adults, any standard mold will work.
- 5Pop the molds in the freezer for at least 4–6 hours, or until fully frozen. Overnight works great too!
