Almond Milk Popsicles

Beat the heat with these Almond Milk Popsicles (also called yogurt popsicles)!  This frozen  yogurt popsicle recipe is made with almond milk, Greek yogurt, banana, almond butter and dipped in chocolate and chopped almonds.

These incredible healthy yogurt popsicles make a delicious summer treat that your whole family will love!

When I was growing up, we spent a lot of time on Balboa Island during the summer months, and we’d always get Balboa bars and frozen bananas. A Balboa bar is a wedge of vanilla ice cream on a stick, dipped in chocolate, then dipped in your favorite topping (nuts or sprinkles).  These homemade popsicles are a perfect mix of a Balboa bar and frozen banana.

Yogurt Popsicle Recipe 

Once you’ve had your first bite of these frozen yogurt popsicles, you will be completely hooked. If the popsicle mixture isn’t sweet enough for your taste, then you can add 2 teaspoons pure maple syrup (or honey)

• Milk: We use unsweetened almond milk for this recipe, but you can use another milk (coconut milk, hemp milk, etc) of your choice.
• Yogurt: Use a good unsweetened full fat Greek yogurt for this recipe. Vegans can use coconut yogurt or another vegan yogurt. 
• Almond butter: We use almond butter, but you could also use creamy peanut butter if you like. 
• Ripe bananas:
• Pure vanilla extract:
• Chocolate sauce:
• Nuts: We use roasted almonds but you could use roasted peanuts if you like.
• Sweetener (Optional): Add pure maple syrup or honey to sweeten.

How to Make Yogurt Popsicles

Making popsicles during the summer months is one of my favorite things to make!  They’re quick and easy to make, then you just pop them in the freezer and forget about them.  These yogurt popsicles come together in about 10 minutes, but then they’ll need to set in the freezer for 4-6 hours (overnight even better).

1. Add the ingredients to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth, stopping to scrape the sides down with a spatula as needed.
2. Divide the mixture into the popsicle molds, tapping gently to remove any air.
3. Place the lid on the popsicle mold and insert the popsicle sticks.
4. Freeze 4-6 hours or until completely frozen.
5. Prepare chocolate sauce.
6. Toast almonds and process in a food processor.
7. Remove yogurt popsicles from molds.
8. Dip frozen popsicles in chocolate sauce and then roll in roasted nuts.
9. After the chocolate solidifies, store the dipped popsicles in freezer bags in the freezer.

Chocolate Sauce Recipe

This is a great chocolate sauce for ice cream and it’s made with just 2 ingredients.  It really adds a nice touch to these Almond Milk Popsicles

• Dark chocolate
• Coconut oil

How to Make Chocolate Sauce

This chocolate dipping sauce comes together in about 7-10 minutes start-to-finish.

1. Combine the chocolate and coconut oil in a saucepan over medium-low heat.  Stir frequently to keep from scorching.  When the chocolate has completely melted, remove from heat and set aside.  Cool the chocolate completely before using.
