Strawberry Banana Pops + Giveaway

I recently posted a recipe for delicious and healthy vanilla matcha latte popsicles using Zip Pops.  But what exactly are Zip Pops?

Zip Pops is an Australian family business, focused on providing an alternative to those brightly-colored store-bought ice blocks, which are full of preservatives, additives and stabilizers.  These BPA-free popsicle molds are perfect to make your own delicious ice blocks at home, ensuring that you have fresh, natural and healthy treats to offer your family.

I’ve already made dozens of different flavors (strawberry & coconut, coconut & lime, peanut butter, pumpkin pie, just to name a few!), but these strawberry & banana pops are my daughter’s absolute favorite and are a staple in our freezer.

These pops are made with loads of fresh strawberries, a ripe banana, milk, a touch of maple syrup and a dash of vanilla extract.  My daughter enjoys these popsicles from breakfast through to dessert; they are an anytime treat.

We don’t have any dairy allergies in our house, so we usually use a half/half mixture of whole milk and thickened cream.  If you’re looking for a dairy-free alternative, you can most definitely use almond milk or coconut milk (or any other milk you prefer) in place of the cow’s milk in this recipe.

I bet by now you’re super interested making some healthy popsicles at home, and I’m happy to announce that I’ve teamed up with Zip Pops to give you a chance to win your own starter pack worth $33.00!  Here are all the details on how to enter:

Made with fresh strawberries and bananas, these super easy homemade popsicles make a healthy treat for any time of the day!
Author:
Serves: 7-8 Zip Pops
Ingredients
  • 450g fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered
  • 1 large ripe banana, sliced
  • 1 cup milk of your choice
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup, or to taste
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract, optional
Instructions
  1. Place all ingredients into a blender or food processor and puree until smooth. Strain the mixture through a sieve, if desired, to remove strawberry seeds. Using a funnel, pour mixture into Zip Pops moulds up to the fill line, seal and freeze in an upright position for 4-5 hours, or until frozen through. Once frozen, you can store the Zip Pops flat.
  2. To open Zip Pops, open the seal, or use scissors to cut just above the fill line. Push the pop up from the bottom and enjoy.
Notes
We use a half-half mixture of whole cow's milk and thickened cream, which gives the popsicles a nice creamy texture. However, you can use any milk in this recipe, such as coconut milk, or any nut milk. Keep in mind, the texture may be more icy when using nut milks. With different milks, you may need more maple syrup, so taste the mixture before freezing and adjust as desired.
