Strawberry Banana Popsicles (with Yogurt)
Fresh and fruity homemade Strawberry Banana Popsicles have just 4 simple ingredients and are delicious healthy treats to beat the heat during the Summer months. Make them with the kids as a fun Summer activity!
Ingredients
- 2 cups (200g) fresh or frozen hulled strawberries
- 1 large ripe banana (120g banana flesh)*
- ⅓ cup (80ml) plain full fat yogurt
- 1 tablespoon (15ml) maple syrup
- 2 tablespoon (30ml) water
*NOTE: you’ll need about 1 ½ bananas if you use a small variety.
Instructions
- Peel the banana and add 120g of flesh to a high speed blender. Add strawberries, yogurt, maple syrup and water and blend on high for about 40 seconds until it is very smooth.
- Pour the mixture into the popsicle molds filling them nearly all the way to the top and insert sticks. If using a mold with a stick shield (as in these photos) then you can place it on straight away. If using wooden sticks, I recommend freezing for about 10 minutes first so the fruit mixture can firm up slightly, then insert sticks so that they hold upright in the center.
- Place the mold in the freezer and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight until frozen solid.
- When ready to eat, run the mold under warm water for a minute, turning the mold to hit all sides. Grab a stick and twist gently to see if the popsicle is coming loose. If there is still a lot of resistance, run the mold under warm water again until it comes loose.
