Ingredients You’ll Need
Bananas
Use ripe but firm bananas. They should be sweet enough to taste delicious but sturdy enough to hold their shape when dipped.
Vanilla Greek Yogurt
Vanilla Greek yogurt creates a creamy coating around the banana and adds protein and sweetness. Choose a thick Greek yogurt for the best results.
Freeze-Dried Strawberries
Crushed freeze-dried strawberries add a bright fruity flavor and pretty color. They also add a little crunch to the yogurt coating.
Cereal
Use your favorite cereal and crush it into smaller pieces before coating the bananas. This is a fun way to make each pop a little different.
Granola
Granola adds plenty of crunch and pairs especially well with the sweet banana and creamy yogurt.
Shredded Coconut
Sweetened or unsweetened shredded coconut works here, depending on how sweet you want your banana pops to be.
How to Make Frozen Greek Yogurt Banana Pops
1. Prepare the bananas
Peel the bananas and cut each one in half.
Insert a popsicle stick into the cut end of each banana half. If the bananas feel especially soft, chill them briefly before dipping to make them easier to handle.
2. Dip in Greek yogurt
Dip each banana half into the vanilla Greek yogurt, turning it as needed to coat the banana.
Let any excess yogurt drip off before adding your toppings.
3. Add the toppings
Immediately sprinkle each yogurt-coated banana with your desired topping.
Make a variety of flavors by using freeze-dried strawberries, crushed cereal, granola and shredded coconut.
Place each finished banana pop on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate.
4. Freeze
Transfer the banana pops to the freezer and freeze for 2–3 hours, or until the yogurt is firm and the bananas are frozen.
Once frozen, they’re ready to enjoy!
4 Frozen Banana Pop Topping Ideas
The best part of these frozen Greek yogurt banana pops is choosing the toppings. Here are four easy combinations to try:
Strawberry
Coat the yogurt with crushed freeze-dried strawberries for a fruity, slightly tangy finish.
Cereal
Use your favorite cereal for a fun, crunchy topping. This is especially good with colorful or lightly sweetened cereal.
Granola
Granola gives the banana pops a hearty crunch and makes them feel a little more substantial.
Coconut
Shredded coconut adds a subtle tropical flavor that pairs beautifully with banana.
You can also combine toppings to create your own favorite combination.
Tips for the Best Banana Pops
Use thick Greek yogurt. A thicker yogurt will cling to the banana better and create a more substantial coating.
Work quickly. Add the toppings immediately after dipping each banana because the yogurt will begin to firm up as the banana gets colder.
Don’t overcoat the bananas. A relatively thin layer of yogurt is easier to work with and freezes nicely.
Use parchment paper. It makes transferring and removing the frozen banana pops much easier.
Freeze until firm. Give the pops at least 2 hours in the freezer so both the banana and yogurt have time to firm up.
Can I Make These Ahead?
Absolutely! These frozen banana pops are perfect for making ahead.
Once completely frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe container or zip-top freezer bag. Keep them frozen until you’re ready to enjoy them.
For the best texture, I recommend enjoying them within a few weeks.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?
Yes, but Greek yogurt is thicker and tends to coat the bananas better. If using regular yogurt, choose one that is fairly thick for the best results.
How long do frozen Greek yogurt banana pops last?
Store them in an airtight freezer-safe container or bag for up to a few weeks for the best texture and flavor.
Can I use different toppings?
Definitely! These banana pops are incredibly customizable. Try chopped nuts, mini chocolate chips, cacao nibs, crushed cookies or other freeze-dried fruit.
Do I need popsicle sticks?
No. You can make these without sticks and simply freeze the yogurt-coated banana halves on parchment paper. The sticks just make them easier and more fun to eat.
A Fun Snack Straight From the Freezer
These frozen Greek yogurt banana pops are proof that simple snacks don’t have to be boring. With creamy vanilla Greek yogurt, naturally sweet banana and your favorite crunchy toppings, they’re an easy treat to keep stocked in the freezer.
Make one flavor or make all four, either way, they’re a fun and delicious way to turn a few simple ingredients into something special.
