My main goal in life is to trick my children into eating things that are good for them. LOL. I have become quite the ninja at it if I do say so myself. All three kiddos have recently been begging for ice cream every single night after dinner. Their argument: “It’s getting sunny out, Mom!”

They’re not wrong, but giving kids ice cream every single night isn’t so right either, in my opinion! I wanted to figure out a treat we could compromise on– one that was cold and festive, and sweet, but also made with more whole food and not processed. I decided to make these super easy and adorable frozen banana pops, and they have been a HUGE hit in our house. The tahini chocolate coating has protein and fiber, and the banana is a serving of whole fruit! My kids love helping me decorate these. I even eat them if I’m craving something sweet, as they’re totally dairy-free. Such a great option for my fellow dairy-free peeps!

I hope these give you a fun, sweet treat to enjoy as the weather warms up! Let me know if you try these, and how you like them!

Step 1:

Prep bananas and coating

Peel bananas and cut them into thirds. Place a popsicle stick in the center of one end and place them in the freezer for a couple of hours. To make the coating add the coconut oil to a saucepan and melt over low heat. Whisk in the remaining ingredients until combined. Heat for roughly 2 minutes and then add to a bowl.

Step 2:

Coat banana and add toppings

Roll each banana into the bowl of coating. Next, roll it in the topping of your choice.

Step 3:

Set Aside to Cool and then Enjoy!

Place completed pops on wax paper until cooled. Once cooled serve and enjoy!
