Banana Date Popsicles

As I mentioned in my previous post, these are tasty and healthy but I find the texture a little different. My Hubby likes the texture, he says the pops remind him of frozen yogurt. I would definitely make them again.

Banana and Date Pops

6 large ripe bananas (sliced)
1 cup chopped pitted dates
1 cup milk
1 cup plain yogurt
2 teaspoons honey (heated 30 seconds)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1) Put bananas, dates*, milk, and yogurt in food processor/blender until smooth
2) Add honey & vanilla extract; process/blend again to combine.
3) Fill pop molds, insert sticks, freeze for 6 hours.
4) Remove and let stand for 5 minutes before molds come off.

* My dates were rock-solid so I softened them up by boiling them in water for 10 minutes or so.
