BANANA POPSICLES ✨ . A healthier #sweettreat to say #goodbyetosummer! . You can totally have fun with this one - you can cover the banana in yogurt, chocolate, etc. add any toppings of choice. . It genuinely tastes like #icecream - we loved it! . TIP: I froze the bananas first, so the chocolate hardens faster. Have your toppings chopped and ready to add while the chocolate is still melted. . STORAGE: keep them in an air tight container for up to a week, not that they last that long! . Are you team chocolate or team yogurt for dipping? . #healthydesserts #healthydessertrecipes taken in Downtown Toronto by @brickskitchen
