Yogurt Berry Pops

With the sun taking on a new level of warmth this Earth day I can't help but anticipate the warmer days coming. These pops are a family favorite- for adults and kids!



1 1/2 cups greek yogurt
1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen berries (blueberry & raspberry are a fav!)
1 ripe banana
1/4 cup local honey
a few drops liquid stevia (optional)

Blend everything together in blender until smooth. Pour into popsicle molds and freeze.

Makes about 10 pops

Chocolate Banana Bars

2 cups blanched almond flour
1/2 cup natural unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup arrowroot powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon sea salt

2 large ripe bananas, mashed (1 heaping cup)
2 large organic eggs
1/4 cup melted virgin coconut oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
20 drops liquid stevia

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Oil an 8 x 8-inch glass baking dish with coconut oil.

Mix together the dry ingredients in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Use your fingers to break up any clumps in the almond flour. Then whisk the ingredients together. Set aside.

In a small bowl, add the bananas and mash with a fork. Measure the mashed bananas to make sure they are just over 1 cup. Add more banana if needed or remove some. Then add the remaining ingredients and stir together with the fork.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry and whisk together. Pour into the prepared baking dish. Bake for approximately 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Let cool before cutting into bars.
