Berry Banana Breakfast Popsicles

Popsicles for breakfast?? Oh yes! It's definitely a "do" when they're made from whole-food, nourishing ingredients and are infinitely customizable. These pops are a fun, unexpected, and refreshing breakfast for summer.

Ingredients

  • 2 c frozen berries of choice
  • Frozen banana
  • 0.5 c unsweetened plant-based milk
  • 3 tbsp maple syrup
  • Dash of water or more milk as needed
  • Optional add-ins: cinnamon, fresh ginger, fresh herbs, dollop of unsweetened yogurt, dollop of your favorite nut butter
  • Optional toppings: unsweetened yogurt, drizzle of nut butter, granola, chopped nuts, chia seeds

Instructions

  1. Combine all of the ingredients in a high-power blender and blend until you have a creamy, smooth texture. Add a splash or more of water or additional plant-based milk as needed to facilitate blending.
  2. Pour the mixture into popsicle molds or paper cups. This should fill about four regular-size popsicle molds, three large paper cups, or six small paper cups.
  3. Freeze the mixture for about an hour or an hour and a half, just until the top surface has barely solidified. Then insert popsicle sticks about two-thirds of the way in, making sure to keep the stick centered and upright.
  4. Freeze overnight. If using popsicle molds, run the molds under hot water for a minute before trying to remove them.
  5. If desired, dip the frozen popsicles into your yogurt of choice, then dip or sprinkle them with whatever toppings you like. Freeze again for at least an hour.
  6. Store your finished popsicles for up to a week in a tightly-sealed container in the freezer.
