Ingredients

• 1 ripe peach
• 1 6oz container vanilla coconut milk yogurt
• ¼ cup water

Frozen Chocolate-Covered Banana Pops

Sign us up for chocolate-covered-anything! Pop these babies in the freezer and you’re set for a mid-day snack.

Ingredients

• 4 large bananas, peeled and cut in half
• 8 popsicle sticks
• 1 pound chocolate chips of choice (we like bittersweet or white chocolate if you want variety)
• 2 TSP coconut oil
• Toppings of your choice! Sprinkles, nuts, crushed cookies, etc.

Directions

• Stick a popsicle stick up into the center of each banana half (do not poke it all the way through the other side). Lay the bananas on sticks on a baking sheet lined with paper and freeze until solid.
• In a large bowl add the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Heat in the microwave for 45 seconds, stir well, then continue heating in 15-second increments, stirring very well after each, until fully melted.
• Dip the frozen banana halves in the chocolate and coat completely. Working quickly, sprinkle with your desired toppings (the chocolate will begin to harden pretty quickly). Place back on the lined baking sheet and freeze until solid.
• Serve frozen for a delicious, cold treat!

Greek Yogurt Fudge Pops

Re-purpose the Greek yogurt in your fridge to create the yummiest frozen treats for your little ones. Oh, you’ll be eating them too!

Ingredients

• 8 oz semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 ½ C milk (your choice: 1%, 2%, almond, etc.)
• ⅓ C unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 TBSP sugar (we like to use brown or coconut palm sugar)
• 1 TSP vanilla
• Kosher salt
• 1 C Greek yogurt

Directions

• Put the chocolate chips in a medium glass mixing bowl. Set aside.
• Combine the milk, cocoa powder, sugar, vanilla, and ¼ TSP salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk constantly until the cocoa is dissolved and the mixture comes to a slight simmer, 5-7 minutes. Remove from the heat and pour the milk mixture over the chocolate chips. Let stand for about 5 minutes, then whisk gently until all the chocolate is melted. Whisk in the yogurt until smooth and blended, then cool completely.
• Divide the mixture evenly among eight silicone Popsicle molds (about ⅓ C per pop) and freeze until solid, at least 5 hours. Just before serving, briefly run the molds under hot water to release the pops. They will keep up to a month!
