Banana And Yogurt Ice Pops Recipes

FRESH FRUIT AND YOGURT ICE POPS

Steps:

• Place the mixed blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, sliced bananas, yogurt, and sugar into a blender. Cover, and blend until fruit is chunky or smooth, as desired.
• Fill paper cups 3/4 full with fruit mixture. Cover the top of each cup with a strip of aluminum foil. Poke a popsicle stick through the center of the foil on each cup.
• Place the cups in the freezer for at least 5 hours. To serve, remove foil and peel off the paper cup.

BANANA AND YOGURT ICE POPS RECIPE

Steps:

• First of all, double check that the empty yogurt pots have been thoroughly cleaned and dried.
• Take the Greek yogurt from the fridge and ask your little one to help weigh it into a small mixing bowl.
• Your assistant can carefully measure 1 level tsp of runny honey into the mixing bowl, then stir the two ingredients together.
• Mashing the banana is good fun for children so let them take the lead. They can peel off the skin and then place the banana into a little bowl. Using a fork, they can set to work, mashing the banana until it's as smooth as they can make it. You may need to help with the last little bit!
• Now your child can use a spoon to scoop up the mashed banana and mix it into the Greek yogurt and honey mixture.
• As the yogurt pots are quite small, it's best to use a teaspoon when spooning the yogurt mixture into the pots. You may end up with a messy worktop otherwise, but I suppose that's what kitchen towels and wipes are for!
• Once your pots are all equally filled with the yogurt mixture, turn your attention to the foil.
• Use scissors to cut out square pieces of foil, just a little larger than the top of the yogurt pots. Place the foil pieces over the top of each pot to cover the yogurt, then press the edges of the foil under the 'lip' of the pot to seal.
• With a sharp knife, cut a little slit into the middle of each foil lid.
• Your little helper can now place the lollipop sticks into each hole in the foil and down into the yogurt mixture.
• That's it, you've finished! All that's left to do is to place the yogurt ice pops into the freezer for an hour or two, or you could freeze overnight if need be. It depends how long your child will wait.
• When you are ready to eat your banana and yogurt ice pops, take the from the freezer and leave to stand for 10 - 20 minutes to soften. Then ease them out from the plastic yogurt pots and enjoy!

YOGURT ICE POPS

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine the sweetener and 3/4 cup cold water. Combine gelatin and the remaining water in a saucepan; let stand for 2 minutes. Heat until gelatin is dissolved; remove from the heat., In batches, place the strawberries, sweetened water, gelatin mixture and yogurt in a blender or food processor; cover and process until smooth. Fill molds or cups with about 1/4 cup strawberry mixture; top with holders or insert sticks into cups. Freeze.

ACAI YOGURT POPS

Steps:

• Combine the acai, banana, mango, pineapple and coconut water in a blender. Puree until smooth.
• Layer the fruit puree and yogurt in 10 ice pop molds, starting and ending with the puree (2 or 3 layers of each). Swirl slightly with a skewer. Add sticks and freeze until solid, at least 6 hours.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the granola on a large plate. Fill a short wide glass with about 2 inches of yogurt (about 1/2 cup). Remove the pops from the molds and lay on the prepared pan (return to the freezer if they begin to soften). Working quickly, dip each pop in the yogurt at an angle, then dip in the granola and return to the pan. Freeze until the yogurt hardens, about 1 hour.

JANETTE'S BANANA YOGURT POPS

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with waxed paper. Peel the bananas and cut them in 1/2 crosswise. Insert a popsicle stick into the cut end of each banana 1/2.
