Ingredients
- 1 large banana
- 1 cup whole-milk Greek yogurt
- ¾ cup plain unsweetened almond milk
- ½ cup natural smooth peanut butter, divided
- 3 tbsp pure maple syrup
- ½ cup salted peanuts, chopped and divided
- 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
Equipment
- 8 3-oz pop molds
Preparation
1. Add banana, yogurt, milk, ¼ cup peanut butter, and maple syrup to a blender, and blend until smooth.
2. Sprinkle ¼ cup peanuts among bottoms of molds. Remove half the banana-yogurt mixture from the blender and divide evenly between popsicle molds.
3. Add cocoa powder to the blender with the remaining banana-yogurt mixture; blend to combine. Pour mixture into molds, then drizzle in remaining ¼ cup peanut butter. Top with remaining ¼ cup peanuts. Add sticks and freeze until set, at least 4 hours. To release pops, run mold under warm water until loose.
