How to Make These Chocolate Banana Popsicles

These babies come together in a flash and are a great, healthy option for those with kids! All you need is a good blender, your typical measuring cups and spoons, and some popsicle molds and sticks!

Let’s break down the super easy process:

  1. Place all of your ingredients together in a blender.
  2. Then, blend until completely smooth.
  3. Pour into your popsicle molds and insert your popsicle sticks (I used a mini mold, so I got 8 mini popsicles. With a larger mold, I’d expect about 4).
  4. Next, let freeze for 3-4 hours or up to overnight (what I did).
  5. Finally, once fully frozen, drizzle with some melted chocolate, top with chocolate shavings, or just enjoy as-is!

Materials You’ll Need:

  • Blender
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Popsicle mold and sticks
  • Something to drizzle and shave chocolate overtop (optional)

Lifeway’s Plain Whole Milk Kefir

I honestly love just to drink Lifeway’s whole milk kefir as an afternoon pick-me-up! It’s so delish and packed with protein, calcium, and probiotics. Plus, it’s 99% lactose-free, gluten-free, and has no added sugar!

Plus, it’s great for baking too outside of these chocolate banana popsicles! You could easily use it in your loafs, cakes, and cupcakes as well.

Description

Easy, 5-ingredient and kefir-packed chocolate banana popsicles! 


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup Plain Whole Milk Kefir (from Lifeway Kefir)
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 large ripe banana, cut into smaller pieces
  • Optional: extra chocolate to melt/drizzle overtop + pre-shaved cacao nibs

Instructions

  1. Place all of your ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth.
  2. Pour the mixture into your popsicle molds and insert your popsicle sticks (I made 8 mini popsicles with the mold I had, so if you’re using a larger mold it may only give you about 4).
  3. Freeze for at least 3-4 hours or overnight. Once fully frozen, remove from the molds, drizzle with a bit of melted chocolate and top with pre-shaved cacao nibs (optional, but delish). Enjoy!

Notes

  • I used chocolate melts to drizzle and pre-shaved cacao nibs to top my popsicles with! You could easily dip these fully in chocolate, drizzle with caramel, or even enjoy as-is. No matter which way you decide to go you won’t be disappointed!
  • Definitely give these at least 3-4 hours to fully freeze or they’ll still be soft to touch. I let mine freeze overnight for that perfect popsicle bite!
  • Don’t skip out on the Lifeway Kefir! It’s packed with protein and probiotics, making these popsicles one healthy little treat. Great to make for those with kiddos!

  • 2022, what a YEAR. 🥹 So many milestones and things to celebrate this year…

✨Made my television debut on @thegooddishtv and WON the dish-off segment with my cornbread cake! @gailsimmonseats tried a recipe of mine, LIKED it, said my name—wowowow (let me know if you want to see the whole segment).

✨ Attended #AdobeMAX with my new @adobeexpress fam! Made lots of new friends and was just the creative boost I needed to move this little platform of mine forward.

✨ Featured in a COOKBOOK. Excuse me?? So honored to be in @thebakefeed’s “Holiday Cookies” cookbook alongside other bakers I admire so much. Let it be the first of many!

✨Published 20 new recipes to @joshisbaking—most of which are my favorites to date. More to come and expect lots more pastry in 2023!

2022 had its lows too (thankful to have @woodsomc when those lows hit), but it was a year of growth and one I won’t soon forget.

Signing off for my start of the year mental break, friends (highly recommend)—see you all in 2023 and the next chapter. 👋🏻❤️

  • Some of my favorite shots from this year. Funny enough—they’re all dark, moody, and full of chocolate! Not mad about that! 👋🏻 Something about the texture/depth of these that stuck with me…

  • The top 3 most popular recipes on my blog this year (in reverse order):

3️⃣ Salted Honey Buttermilk Biscuits
2️⃣ Chocolate Orange Slice and Bake Shortbread Cookies
1️⃣ Cinnamon Sugar Pie Bites with a Cream Cheese Frosting Dip

Interestingly enough, only one of these was actually published this year (the pie bites)—goes to show that some things need a little more time to shine!

If you made any of my recipes this year: THANK YOU. 🥹 I see you (said the Na’vi) and I appreciate you! Getting tagged in your bakes makes my week.

Don’t forget to leave a review on any recipes pages if you did—those help me rank better on google and in turn helps even more folks find my recipes.

More recipes to come in 2023, friends! ❤️
