Their customizable nature makes them a crowd-pleaser for backyard parties, after-school snacks, or light desserts. The best part?

Why These Pops are a Must-Make

Unlike store-bought frozen treats that often contain artificial flavors and loads of sugar, this recipe delivers wholesome goodness using just a handful of ingredients. The mellow sweetness of ripe bananas pairs beautifully with creamy, protein-rich yogurt—while a quick dip in melted chocolate or sprinkle of nuts adds a gourmet twist. It’s a snack that satisfies a sweet tooth and introduces a bit of fun to healthy eating.

Prepping the Perfect Banana Yogurt Pops

Getting uniform slices or chunks is key for even freezing and easy eating. Use a quality Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper to quickly chop your bananas into perfect equal pieces—making the assembly a breeze and ensuring each pop holds together nicely. For blending your yogurt base with extras like honey, berries, or cocoa powder, reach for a Ninja BL610 Professional 72 Oz Countertop Blender to guarantee a perfectly smooth, creamy consistency every time.

How to Assemble and Freeze Banana Yogurt Pops

Lay out your sliced bananas on a tray lined with Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll for quick, mess-free cleanup and effortless pop removal after freezing. Dunk the banana pieces into your yogurt mixture, making sure each piece is fully coated. Insert a popsicle stick or sturdy toothpick into each piece, and space them out on the prepared tray.

For an extra indulgent touch, roll the dipped banana pieces in your chosen toppings (think chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or mini chocolate chips) before placing them in the freezer.

Finishing and Storing Your Pops

Allow your pops to freeze for at least 3 hours, or until solid. For storing, keep your banana pops in Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers—these airtight, stackable containers maintain freshness and reduce freezer burn, so your healthy snack stays delicious for days.
