Choco-Nana Pops

Choco-Nana Pops

Makes 6 servings.

  • 1 cup low-fat chocolate milk
  • 1 ripe banana, peeled
  • 2 Tbsp. chocolate syrup
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 6 (3 oz.) paper cups
  • Aluminum foil
  • 6 popsicle sticks

Pour milk into blender; cut banana into pieces and add to milk. Add chocolate syrup and vanilla. Blend on high speed until thick, about 1 minute. Divide mixture among the cups. Cover each cup with foil. Poke popsicle sticks through foil and into mixture. Freeze until firm. A quick dip in hot water lets you easily remove the cup from the popsicle, and the foil prevents dripping.
