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.

These look delicious. Two of my favorite ingredients, peanut butter and banana.

These look great! I wanted to let you know that will be featuring these tomorrow in my “What I Bookmarked This Week” post – stop by and see!

These look amazing!
Thank you, Jeni!
This looks delicious. I haven’t tried making my own frozen yogurt yet but it looks pretty easy. Plus I could let my preschool drizzle the chocolate on it. He loves doing that.
It really is so easy and drizzling the chocolate is exactly what my little sister did, she loves that too! Hope you guys give these a try and love them!
I’m pretty sure these are heaven on a stick!! 😉 YUM!!
Thank you, Jocelyn!
Ok talk about amazing! I love the PB frozen yogurt!! You have the best frozen dessert recipes on here, Tieghan. And your photography is incredible. I never, ever have luck with frozen things. They always melt too quickly! Chocolate, PB, + banana = amazing my friend. Just splendid. 😉
Wow! Sally, thank you! Your comment is too nice! It truly means the world to me and especially from you! Thank you!
If these are made with Greek yogurt, that means they’re healthy, which means a serving size is 18, right?
Totally!
Oh my goodness those look incredible! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Happy Blogging!

Thank you!
Love the PB fro-yo idea! You are the queen of chilled/frozen desserts. And very brave for wanting to photograph melty stuff. As discussed, things tend to melt on my WAY before I am ready for that 🙂 I’d love one of these babies now!
Thank you, Averie! The queen of frozen desserts? I think like that!
I love it when something just works out!
Trust me, me too!
Thanks Carrian!
