Banana Pops – Vegan & Gluten Free
These Banana Pops are so simple to make, they are a great way to involve kids in the kitchen and motivate them to eat healthy.

You’ll happily replace your desserts with these pops and will never have to worry about portion control or calories. They are perfect as a pre workout snack, as they are rich in healthy fats, sugar, fiber and antioxidants. All you need is three primary ingredients and toppings of your choice.
