Strawberry Banana Popsicles - made with fruit, yogurt, and milk. Quick, easy, and good for you (and the kids too!)
I love a good popsicle. Here are a few of our favorites: Easy Healthy Rainbow Popsicles, Blueberry Chia Popsicles and Quick and Easy Peach Pineapple Popsicles.
Strawberry Banana Popsicles
Can you believe it's almost popsicle season again?! I'll admit that I own at least three different types of popsicles molds and we make up new kinds every other day. I rarely buy them from the store because we always have something delicious in the freezer. And when they are made from mostly fruit, I have no guilt in letting the kids eat them all day long for snacks (they go well with popcorn in our opinion). I'm eating them right along with them; I love me a popsicle.
I do have to admit that I've been dreaming of a Zoku Popsicle Maker since last summer though. Rumor has it that this little popsicles maker can have your popsicles frozen solid in something like 7 minutes! No more waiting over night... Hey! Maybe I'll bug them and see if they'll send me one and let me give another one away to you guys. Would anyone else want a ninja popsicle maker?! Ooh, I'll see what I can do!
In the mean time, you'll have to enjoy these strawberry banana popsicles and make them the old-fashioned way in the freezer.
How long do Popsicles take to freeze?
For the best results, I like to freeze my popsicles overnight. If you choose not to do that, you will need a minimum of at least six hours for them to be frozen all the way through.
What can I use instead of Popsicle molds?
If you don't have popsicle molds you can use a variety of other things to make them. You can use mini paper or plastic cups, ice cube trays or I have even seen them done in small yogurt containers.
How do you store homemade Popsicles?
The most simple option is to store them in a plastic freezer bag or airtight container. Easy peasy.
