A sweet treat that you don’t have to guilty about! These strawberry banana popsicles are the best of both worlds. They’re made using wholesome ingredients, and will satisfy that sweet tooth. Plus, they’re great when you need to beat the heat.
I tested these out on my two boys and they loved them even more than store bought, so that’s a win in my books.
As as added bonus, they had a lot of fun making them with me, and pouring the mixture into the popsicle molds.
Of course, this was followed by “are they ready yet?” about a dozen times an hour. 🙂 But still a great activity if you’re looking for something to do with your little ones.
How to make strawberry banana popsicles?
First, you need a popsicle mold if you don’t have one already. Any molds will work.
Next, gather your ingredients. You’ll need very ripe banana to add natural sweetness.
Add everything to your blender or food processor and process until smooth, or you may wish to leave a few fruit chunks. Completely up to you.
Evenly distribute your mixture into your molds and freeze.
That’s it! Super simple.
Can I make any substitutions?
Absolutely.
You may use any of your favourite fruits for these popsicles.
Try raspberry lime, or a mix of all of your favourite berries.
Or you can go with honeydew or watermelon.
As for the coconut milk, I particularly like the flavour that canned coconut milk adds to these popsicles.
If you’re not a coconut fan, you may sub for soy, or cashew milk.

These were a big hit – super simple and delicious! Can we substitute yogurt or oat milk for the coconut milk? I would think so, but I’m not sure what the amount would be. Thanks!
Thanks Cyndee, thrilled you enjoyed. Oat milk should be a straight swap but you’ll lose a bit of richness that you get from the coconut milk. As for yogurt, I haven’t tried this way, but you should be able to sub some or all of the milk without an issue. Thanks very much for the review! 🙂
Made these this morning for a fun activity to do with the little guys and finally enjoying them now. They are SO delicious and I love the ingredients used. Such a great way to get my little guys to learn patience too! Haha thanks so much for the fabulous recipe!
Hi Kaidence, thanks so much for the great review. I hear you about teaching little ones patience. So glad you enjoyed!
