You guys know what’s really weird?
I absolutely HATE being cold, but yet I continue to make frozen treats.
Frozen treats that when I photograph, make me shiver. For some reason every time I shoot any kind of ice cream my hands end up molding the ice cream into a cone, or sandwiching it between cookies, or even stuffing it into tacos. It’s like I have never heard of utensils. I mean, sure I have them…….but I never use them. Which is why at the end of the day I am always covered in ice cream, chocolate, cheese, avocados and my very favorite, fruit. Pretty sure I had a nice lick of watermelon on my face yesterday or maybe it was strawberry, actually I bet it was a mix.
It was good.
What, you guys don’t lick dried up fruit off your face for a little afternoon pick me up?
Oh no, that’s just me. It’s ok, I am cool with that.
Anywhoo, I decided to do something smart. Well actually I did something smart and then I followed it up with something pretty stupid. Let’s start with the smart first, so hopefully the stupid thing won’t look so well, stupid. Â See I had this idea, I wanted to make frozen yogurt, but then I was like “oh, I should totally make them into cute little pops.” Â Then I decided they needed to be peanut butter and then I was like well if I am doing peanut butter I might as well throw in a banana, because peanut butter and banana pretty much just rules.
Normally when I get an idea I either write it down or make it right then and there if I happen to have all the ingredients. Well, I hade everything I needed for the pops – greek yogurt, bananas, honey, vanilla, those are all staples around here, I always have them. So, I decided to do a little kitchen experiment. Sometimes these “experiments” work and sometime I end up with a pile of not so pretty food and a huge mess. Either way though I end up with a huge mess. It is inevitable with me.
So I threw everything in the food processor, processed away and wa-la it worked! Dang good, crazy easy, actually healthy, frozen yogurt. Miracle! Really, all I needed was a spoon, ehh my finger did the job pretty well though actually.
Then I stuck it in the freezer to firm up so I could easily spoon the yogurt into circles since I am not cool and do not own a popsicle mold. Now, here comes the stupid part. I spooned all the yogurt onto a baking pan and then I realized ah, I actually needed popsicle sticks.
Duh. I mean pops normally means something on a stick.
But wait, then I got smart again and decided to use my very favorite Target straws that I picked up at Easter time. Ah, now that’s what’s ups. Quick on the spot thinking! Brilliant, right?
Yeah, right. The only problem is, now I have no more cute straws, and trust me Target does not have them anymore. I looked and asked like a very obnoxious straw loving freak. Pretty sure the guy working at Target thought I was a loony. Pretty sure he’s right.
Ok, so like I said these are so easy and you only need a food processor or a blender and maybe some popsicle sticks, straws or any other stick like object. Oh, wait and did I tell you about the chocolate drizzle? You gotta have a little chocolate with your peanut butter. Plus, drizzling chocolate is so fun. Really it is, just try it.

Trust me, you NEED these today. They help you get through the “Oh man the long weekend’s over and it’s back to the grind”.
LURVE these! They’re so cute! 🙂 Also anything that resembles ice cream is a winner in my book.
Thank you so much Stephanie!
I think we need to live next door to each other and just eat ice cream for a living. Right?
Totally agree!
healthy… and chocolate… and peanut butter… i don’t think there’s anything better!
I know, right?
Thanks Faith!
These are genius! Good for you, improvising on the spot! 🙂 Is greek yogurt the preferred yogurt of choice for frozen yogurt?
I just love greek yogurt and it is a lot thicker than the regular stuff, but I do think you could use regular yogurt if you wanted.
Thank you, Mimi!
Oh these make me so blissfully happy Tiegs! I love cold things when it’s cold out. I’m a weirdo like that.
Ha! I love that you call me Tiegs! Seriously, I think that is oddly awesome and I have no idea why!
Thanks Megan!
What beautiful presentation! I can’t even imagine how good they taste too!
Eeep! I love these little sticks of frozen heaven. Totally going on my to-try list.
Thank you Ashley! Hope you love them!
I’m so warm-natured that I can’t help but crave cold stuff year-round! I always have the biggest ice cream cravings in the middle of the winter! 🙂
hehe! I am always cold, but I would probably never turn down a cold treat in the winter. They are to good to pass up!
The peanut butter fans in my house will love these!
Yay! Thanks Eva!
These look fabulous! Good job! 🙂
Thanks so much Liam!
What a neat idea! This is great for summer.
Thank you, Leah!
These are absolutely adorable and I love that they’re made with Greek yogurt! What a great idea to whiz up the yogurt with a frozen banana to make the frozen yogurt.
Thank you so much Dara!! They are so good and So easy! I love that pretty much anyone can make them! All you need is a blender or food processor!
These look so good! I’ll make them and sub sun butter for the peanut butter (I’m allergic to nuts).
Thanks Nessa and greta idea to use the sun butter!
These are so cute!!
I hate being cold too…but can’t resist treats like these!
Thank you Kristen.
Oh and being cold stinks!
Yes, yes, and YES!! I need a few of these to cool me off!
Hehe! Thanks Steph! Is really hot were you live already?
YES!! We’re in the 90’s already :/ and a serious drought! Blah
