Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 ripe bananas, peeled and sliced
  • 2 cups mixed berries (fresh or frozen; strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries)
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (or vanilla for extra sweetness)
  • 3/4 cup milk (dairy or unsweetened almond, oat, or coconut milk)
  • 1–2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, but nice)
  • Pinch of salt (enhances flavor)
  • Optional add-ins: 1 tablespoon chia seeds, 2 tablespoons rolled oats, or a handful of spinach

Method
 

  1. Prep the fruit: If your berries are large (like strawberries), hull and halve them. If you’re using frozen fruit, there’s no need to thaw.
  2. Load the blender: Add bananas, berries, yogurt, milk, sweetener, vanilla, and a pinch of salt. Include any optional add-ins you like.
  3. Blend until smooth: Start on low, then increase speed until the mixture is silky. If it’s too thick to blend, add a splash more milk. Taste and adjust sweetness.
  4. Pour into molds: Transfer the mixture to popsicle molds, leaving a little headspace for expansion.
  5. Add sticks: Insert popsicle sticks. If your mold requires partially freezing before adding sticks, follow those instructions.
  6. Freeze solid: Freeze for 4–6 hours, or until fully set. Overnight is even better.
  7. Unmold: Run warm water over the outside of the molds for 10–15 seconds, then gently wiggle the pops free.
  8. Serve: Enjoy right away, or store for later (see storage tips below).
