Recipe: Strawberry Banana Smoothie Pops

From EatingWell

Turn a strawberry-banana smoothie, or your favorite blended concoction, into freezer pops for a cool treat.

Ingredients

Makes 6 servings

  • 2 cups frozen strawberries
  • 1 medium banana
  • 1 cup low-fat strawberry yogurt or vanilla yogurt
  • ½ cup cranberry juice cocktail or pomegranate juice
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup

Preparation

Active time 10 minutes

Total time 6 hours

1. Place strawberries, banana, yogurt, juice and maple syrup in a blender and blend until smooth.

2. Divide among six 4-ounce freezer pop molds.

3. Freeze until firm, at least 6 hours.

Tips

If you don’t have freezer pop molds, divide the smoothie among small paper or plastic cups instead. Freeze until very thick, but not completely frozen, 1 to 2 hours. Insert frozen-treat sticks and continue freezing until completely firm, 4 to 5 hours more.
