A super healthy dairy free popsicle made from peanut butter and banana.

It is most definitely popsicle season in the UK at the moment.
I am loving the warmer weather and our local shops are too judging by the amount of times they have ran out of ice lollies and ice cream.
Buying single popsicles can be expensive, especially if you have more than one child to feed so I would definitely recommend making your own at home.
How To Make Popsicles
I purchased an ice pop maker recently and am really pleased with it. You can get a wide variety of ice pop makers online that vary in price, size, material and how many popsicles they hold.
The one I use allows you to make up to 10 ice lollies at a time, so I have been able to make and store a range of flavours and combinations so my fussy eater has a choice (like these fruit popsicles).
I have also found it easier to use the wooden sticks rather than the plastic re-useable ones that come as part of other molds.
I know it’s less environmentally friendly but my fussy eater and her friends would dump the plastic sticks in random parts of the house are garden, never to be seen again and so I couldn’t use the molds again anyway!

Peanut Butter & Banana Popsicles
My latest concoction has been these Peanut Butter & Banana Popsicles. Honestly, they are the bomb!
Obviously you have to like both these ingredients (and together!) but if you do you won’t believe how deliciously creamy these are.
My fussy eater genuinely believed she was eating ice cream but little did she know she was munching on a super healthy, all natural, dairy free snack with only 3 ingredients!
My fussy eater seemed happy with the taste of these popsicles but if your kids would prefer them a bit sweeter you could easily add some honey when blending.

If you know of other healthy popsicle recipes please do let me know. It’s a bit sad but I really do get quite excited by sneaking in extra fruit and veg into my fussy eater’s diet (yeah I know, I need to get a life!)

I just put mine in the freezer right now. I didn’t add the nuts since my kids don’t really like nuts. I did add a little bit of honey to it. My 5 year old is excited to taste these. Thanks for the recipe.

Wow these sound amazing! We are in the same position as you with regards to fussy eating and so we’re getting through homemade lollies by the bucketload at the moment. It’ll be great to try such a delicious sounding recommendation!

I hope they go down as well in your house as they have here!

Oh my, those are gorgeous and healthy! The little peanuts at the bottom are so cute, such attention to details! And I love wooden sticks and shape of your popsicles. I bought moulds from ikea, thery are ok, as we don’t eat too much ice cream, but the visual side is not great.

Thanks Magda! I was really chuffed when my little girl ate them. I’m all about the secret fruit and veg!
