Ingredients
  

2 ripe bananas, sliced into rounds

1 cup coconut yogurt (use dairy-free if preferred)

1/2 cup coconut milk (choose canned for creaminess or carton for lighter texture)

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste based on sweetness of bananas)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

A pinch of sea salt

Optional: Fresh fruit slices (like strawberries, kiwi, or mango) or chocolate chips for added texture and flavor

Instructions
 

Blend the Base: In a blender, add the sliced bananas, coconut yogurt, coconut milk, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and sea salt. Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Taste the mixture and add more sweetener if desired.

    Mix in Coconut: Using a spatula, fold in the shredded coconut. Ensure it is evenly distributed throughout the banana-yogurt mixture for added texture.

      Prepare the Molds: If using popsicle molds, ensure they are clean and dry. For a DIY approach, place paper cups on a baking sheet to provide stability.

        Fill the Molds: Carefully pour the banana-yogurt mixture into the molds or cups, leaving a little space at the top (about 1/4 inch) to allow for expansion when freezing. For an extra touch, sprinkle in fresh fruit slices or chocolate chips as you fill them.

          Insert Sticks: If you're using popsicle molds, instantly insert the sticks straight into the center of the mixture. For paper cups, insert a popsicle stick carefully into each cup, ensuring they stand upright.

            Freeze: Transfer the filled molds or cups to the freezer. Allow them to freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until they are completely solid.

              Unmold the Pops: To release the pops, run warm water over the outside of the molds for about 10 seconds. Gently pull the pops from their molds. If using paper cups, carefully peel the paper away from the frozen pops.

                Serve and Enjoy: Enjoy your delightful Frozen Coconut Banana Yogurt Pops right away! Any leftovers can be stored in a sealed container in the freezer for later enjoyment.
