How To Make Banana Popsicles

1. Blend the Base
   Add bananas, peanut butter, yogurt, milk, 1 tablespoon of honey, and vanilla to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth, pausing to scrape down the sides as needed.

2. Adjust Sweetness
   Taste the mixture and add more honey if you prefer it sweeter. If the mixture is too thick, blend in a splash of extra milk.

3. Fill the Molds
   Pour the mixture into popsicle molds. Tap them gently on the counter to remove any air bubbles, then insert popsicle sticks.

4. Freeze Until Firm
   Place the molds in the freezer and freeze for 4 to 5 hours, or until completely solid.

5. Unmold the Popsicles
   To release, run the molds under warm water for 3 to 5 seconds, then gently pull out the popsicles.

6. Dip and Decorate
   Dip each popsicle into melted chocolate and sprinkle with crushed peanuts if using. Return to the freezer briefly to set, or enjoy right away.

For a fun, refreshing spread, serve these Banana Popsicles alongside other chilled treats like Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream Bars or Avocado Chocolate Mousse. They’re also a great way to end a summer meal after something savory like Slow Cooker Honey Garlic Chicken or Satay Shrimp Skewers. If you’re hosting a party, pair them with a fruity drink like Pink Vodka Lemonade or Watermelon Juice for the ultimate warm-weather combo.
