We always have plenty of bananas in our house and sometimes there’s a need to rescue them from the depths of going brown and overripe! Besides the usual banana bread recipe we love, these yummy Coconut and Banana popsicles are a great snack or party food idea. This healthy popsicle recipe suits all tastes, is gluten and sugar-free and these are also vegan popsicles. What a delicious combination – banana flavoured popsicles with coconut milk!

5 Banana Facts that will have you and your family eating loads of Coconut Milk and Banana Popsicles!

Great Source of Carbohydrates for Energy

Bananas are an excellent source of the carbohydrates in the form of natural sugars and starch.

Protein for Growth

Normal growth needs protein to help produce new cells. A small banana smoothie (150 mL milk and a half banana) as a snack or meal is an excellent source of both protein and calcium.

Vitamin B6 for Blood Health

This vitamin is needed for making red blood cells, and carrying nerve impulses.

Folate for Growth and Brain Health

The B vitamin folate is needed for proper growth and development in toddlers and is hugely beneficial for pregnant women. Half a banana will give a toddler about 15 percent of their folate needs each day.

Fibre for Digestive Health

Bananas are a great-tasting source of fibre, so even a small serving a day, especially for a young child, will help keep you regular.

The best thing about these coconut and banana popsicles is that if you feel like something a little different, you can easily adapt the banana popsicle recipe to include things like berries or even choc buds.
