Place banana on stick, dunk in Greek yogurt and roll in pistachios and shredded coconut and freeze.
When it comes to snacks and dessert in the summer, simple is best.
And what could be easier than a frozen banana on a stick? I was immediately excited about this recipe because I love sweet and salty combination– salty pistachios with sweet Greek yogurt and banana are so my thang.
When Produce for Kids reached out about partnering again this year for their healthy eating campaign with Publix to support local Feeding America food banks, I was totally on board because ya know I’m all about that fruit and veg. Remember this Balsamic Beef & Fruit Kabob recipe I created last year for the cause?
Get creative with this Banana Crunch Pop recipe by adding your favorite ingredients like few dark chocolate morsels to this pop for a bit more decadence. 🙂 YUM!
