There are so many things to love about these popsicles, but one of my favorites is that they're packed with superfoods and easy for kids to grab in the afternoons when you start hearing the "I'm hungry" rumblings. Also, it's a great excuse to get kids outside.
Ingredients to Make Coconut Banana Popsicles

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