Every summer I get requests from my hubby for these coconut banana popsicles! Now that Flora is almost two, she checks in on hot afternoons, asking “mama pop?”.

Creamy coconut milk for a creamy rich base, sweet bananas, texture with chia seeds, and a little crunch from shredded coconut. Plus, a little extra sweetness from some maple syrup and a little spice with cinnamon. That’s it. So simple and so delicious.

2. Mix well and allow to sit for 15-20 minutes.

A Healthy Popsicle Recipe

One of the reasons I love these as a guilt free snack or dessert is the coconut milk base. Not only is it creamy and dairy free, but it offers some serious health benefits. While it’s true that coconut milk calories might be higher than dairy based products, full fat coconut milk is among the best sources of medium-chain fatty acids.

These fats are easy to digest, fill you up and prevent overeating and support neurological health. Not only that but with this recipe we have added chia seeds which are a fantastic source of protein, fiber, omega-3 and more. 

Get Creative With These Easy Popsicle Recipe

These coconut banana popsicles are light, but still rich. Perfect for a hot summer day or a cold afternoon treat. Feel free to put your spin on these and get creative we love to add mango, pineapple, or blueberries. You can even try a drizzle of chocolate for that extra dessert-y feel. 

Homemade Creamy Popsicles

I love how wonderfully creamy these popsicles are, they feel indulgent but you can for sure feel good about enjoying these on a hot day! The chia seeds are packed full of nutrients and they are made from all natural products. I may even be tempted to enjoy one of these for breakfast on a busy morning!

Top Tips To Make Coconut Banana Popsicles

1. Make these popsicles vegan by substituting the honey for maple syrup.
2. Allow the mixture to sit for 10 to 15 minutes before freezing it to allow the chia seeds to absorb the moisture.
3. These popsicles require at least 5 hours to freeze. I like to make a batch on the evening to enjoy he next day!
