BANANA & CASHEW ICE CREAM POPSICLES RECIPE

This banana and cashew ice cream popsicles recipe is all of our favorite things combined and frozen into one frosty and delicious snack or dessert.

These are also vegan unless you want to dip it in milk or white chocolate instead of dark chocolate.

You’ll want to soak cashews in advance for this, so soak them in the morning, freeze mid-day, and enjoy mid-afternoon if you’re planning on having after-school visitors or a family-friendly dinner party.

It’s super simple, too – just blend up the ingrdients until smooth and then freeze.

We LOVE the popsicle molds by Tovolo, but there are many fun ones to choose from.

The recipe includes an optional chocolate coating dipped in nuts and/or coconut – so decadent – though it’s just as good without.

Also try these fruity watermelon popsicles for an extra serving of fruit (or two!)

BANANA HEALTH BENEFITS & FUN FACTS

Bananas are known as the whole-food “energy drink”, so it’s no surprise that bananas sustain blood sugar during a workout and prevent muscle cramps.

They also have a lot of tryptophan, which is converted into happy-making serotonin.

Bananas can reduce swelling, protect against diabetes, aid weight loss, and strengthen the nervous system thanks to high levels of vitamin B6.

They even contain iron, which is super important for those with a plant-based diet.
