Frozen Banana Treats


Ingredients
  • 2 Bananas
  • 1 7-oz container of Non-Fat Greek Yogurt
Topping Ideas:
  • Hand full of finely chopped almonds
  • 2-3 tbsp Flax sees
Options for mixing in with the Greek yogurt:
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp Peanut butter
Directions
  1. Line a baking sheet or tray with parchment paper.
  2. Mix together the Greek yogurt with either the cinnamon OR the peanut butter.
  3. Peel the bananas.
  4. Cut off one end from each banana.
  5. Insert the popsicle sticks into the banana (on the cut off end) like a popsicle.
  6. Coat the bananas in Greek yogurt and sprinkle them with the topping of choice.
  7. Lay the bananas on the parchment paper and freeze for about 40-50 minutes. The bananas should be firm, but not completely frozen.
If you decide to cash in on the 80/20 rule and go for a more sugary option you can always chose a topping as crushed M&Ms, crushed Heath Bar etc. It’s still a semi-healthy dessert since the Greek yogurt and banana will give you protein and vitamins.

Enjoy!
