Bananas are one of the best produce ingredients to use when making kids snacks. Children usually like to eat them and that makes it easier for moms. They’re naturally sweet, and easy to eat. Bananas also happen to be healthy, full of potassium, fiber, antioxidants and Vitamin C. Yogurt is loaded with protein and calcium.

  • Place the sheet pan with bananas in the freezer until frozen (2 Hours is usually good) now ENJOY! You can also store them in a freezer safe bag or container until you’re ready for a cold snack.

At first I started making these for my older kids and then as I watched my teething 8 month old drool while watching her brothers eat their pops, I thought “Hey, she would probably love the cold pop on her gums.” So I made one for her using plain greek yogurt. She couldn’t get enough of it!! So if you have a little teether, give these a try (just be sure to remove the popsicle stick as the pop starts to melt).
