Breakfast Banana Pops by Chocolate Covered Katie

• (2 bananas makes 4 pops)
• bananas (Or try this idea with strawberries, pineapple, etc.)
• yogurt of choice (Wholesoy, Almond Dream, Silk, etc.)
• granola of choice, or crushed cookies or Healthy Graham Crackers
• add-on ideas: mini chocolate chips, coconut shreds, cinnamon sugar, raisins, etc.
• popsicle sticks or silverware to insert in the bananas

Instructions:

• Pour granola into a very shallow dish or plate.
• Peel bananas, cut in half, and insert popsicle sticks.
• Dip into yogurt (or coat with a knife), then roll into granola and add-ons. (I stuck the chips on by hand, after rolling in the granola.)
• Place on a parchment or wax-lined tray and freeze.
• Keep uneaten pops in the freezer.

Notes

MIX-IN IDEAS:

• Dark leafy greens (like spinach and kale- their flavors are mostly masked by the sweet ingredients)
• Protein powder (choose one that is unflavored and not sweetened)
• Nuts and seeds (this would include other nut or seed butters)

• Chia or flax seeds

MAKE IT NUT-FREE: Use coconut milk in place of the almond milk and sun butter instead of peanut butter.
