This healthy Banana Popsicle recipe uses with berries, a cereal pie “crust” high in fibre and a dark chocolate shell. Just like cream pie!

Summer is HERE and that means BBQs, picnics and rendez vous with our favourite neighbourhood ice cream truck. But you don’t have to inhale an overpriced sundae to get your fix (not to mention- brain freeze!). My creamy and healthy banana popsicle recipe is speckled with colourful berries and dipped in decadent dark chocolate — Sorry, Mr. ice cream man, it’s going to be pretty slow business this summer!

Why This Recipe Works
If you’re looking for the perfect treat to keep you cool in these hot summer days, look no further! This banana popsicle recipe is my favorite way to cool down because they’re:
- Higher in protein and fiber compared to traditional popsicles
- Packed with real fruit
- Completely customizable
- A great way to get kids involved in the kitchen!
Key Ingredients

Bananas – Ripe bananas have a sweeter taste due to their starch breakdown. They may not be the prettiest bananas to eat alone, but they are the perfect addition to these banana popsicles!
Berries – I love adding a variety of berries to this recipe not only to keep these popsicles even prettier, but they also add extra fiber and antioxidants!
Plain Greek Yogurt – By using plain Greek yogurt, we keep the added sugar content lower while packing in a ton of protein!
How To Make This Recipe
Step 1: In a food processor, puree together the yogurt and bananas. Stir in the berries and set aside.
Step 2: In a small bowl, mix together the cereal, honey, graham crackers and a pinch of sea salt. Set aside.
Step 3: Divide half of the yogurt mixture between 6 ice pop molds. Then add in 3/4 of the bran cereal mixture. Pack the ingredients down with a spoon and add 2 tablespoons of milk to each mold.
Step 4: Continue with the remaining yogurt, then sprinkle the last small 1/4 cup of the bran cereal mixture on the yogurt. Insert the ice pop sticks and freeze them for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight.
Step 5: Before serving, stir together the chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave safe dish. Microwave on high for 15 seconds. Remove and stir. Continue microwaving and stirring in 15-second intervals until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
Step 6: Run the ice pop molds under hot water to easily remove the Ice Pop, then immediate dip the tops in the dark chocolate shell. Allow the shell to harden instantly and enjoy!
Expert Tips
To boost the fibre and cut sugar and fat in this banana popsicle recipe, I whipped up a layer of pie “crust” made out of a combination of graham crackers and bran cereal. Bran cereal is an easy way to meet your recommended daily fibre intake — It’s also incredibly satiating so you can enjoy your healthy ice pops and not need a snack soon after!
Looking for the perfect ice pop molds for these banana popsicles? I personally love these silicone molds that make it super easy to pop out the pops and enjoy!
Recipe FAQs
Of course!! Experiment with whatever fruit you or your kiddos love! I feel like kiwi and chopped cherries would be great summer fruits to try as well!
Of course! However, since the banana is naturally sweet, you don’t even need to use the sweetened yogurt variety – just a personal preference!
The first step is to ensure that the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. I then give my pops a LITTLE dip until it forms a thin crackly crust. The thinner the layer, the easier the chocolate will cool and give you the perfect shell!
