Frozen Banana Pops
Banana halves dipped in orange juice and frozen on a stick — 61 calories a pop, two ingredients.
Sodium is calculated without salt added to taste.
Estimated; may vary.
Frozen banana pops: ripe bananas halved, pushed onto craft sticks, dipped in orange or lemon juice and frozen. One pop is about 61 calories — two ingredients, no sugar added, and a snack that tastes like ice cream.
The juice keeps the banana from browning. Wrap each pop in foil before freezing so they do not pick up freezer smells, and give them at least two hours.
For a bigger snack, dip in melted dark chocolate and roll in chopped nuts or coconut before freezing. They keep a month in the freezer.
