Ingredients
  

3 ripe bananas

1 cup creamy peanut butter (choose between natural or conventional)

1 cup Greek yogurt (you can use plain or vanilla)

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust according to your sweetness preference)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

Optional toppings: chopped nuts, mini chocolate chips, or shredded coconut (for added flavor and crunch)

Instructions
 

Prep the Bananas: Begin by peeling the ripe bananas. Break them into manageable chunks to make blending easier.

    Blend Ingredients: In a blender or food processor, combine the banana chunks, creamy peanut butter, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Pause occasionally to scrape down the sides for an even consistency.

      Taste and Adjust: After blending, taste the mixture. If you prefer a sweeter ice pop, feel free to add more honey or maple syrup, blending again to incorporate.

        Pour Into Molds: Carefully pour the luscious banana-peanut butter mixture into ice pop molds. Leave a small gap at the top of each mold to allow for expansion while freezing. To enhance the flavor and texture, consider adding optional toppings like chopped nuts, mini chocolate chips, or shredded coconut directly into the molds.

          Insert Sticks: Place the ice pop sticks into the molds, ensuring they are centered and upright.

            Freeze: Transfer the filled molds to the freezer. Allow the ice pops to freeze for a minimum of 4 to 6 hours, or until they are completely solid.

              Release and Enjoy: To remove the ice pops from the molds, run warm water over the outside for a few seconds. This will loosen them for easy release. Gently pull out each ice pop and indulge in the deliciousness immediately!
