Homemade Frozen Treats & Pops

My daughter's favorite dessert is banana ice cream.
Guess what it is?
A frozen banana that I whir around in the food processor until it gets smooth.
Yup, that's it! Sometimes I top it off with nuts, chocolate chips, fresh fruit, or hemp seed. But essentially it's a banana. :)

Just remember that when your bananas are getting a bit overripe, peel them and bag them in freezer bags. Otherwise you will have to let them thaw a bit before peeling and the ice cream trick won't work.

Another fave around here are popsicles. We usually make them as we would smoothies, blending fruit & milk. Favorite combinations include:

1 cup almond milk
1 banana
a handful of strawberries

OR
1 cup coconut milk
flesh of 1 mango
1 banana


You can also just use fruit and fruit juice but we like to add some calories around here. Pour into popsicle molds(usually available at Dollar Tree this time of year or there are some super cool ones on Amazon), pop them in the freezer & you have snacks!

Cheap & healthy snacks I might add!
