September 17, 2024 By Cindy Silver

Bananas at grocery store

Frozen Banana Popsicles! I've decided that a frozen banana is the healthiest popsicle there is. You've got to try it.

I'm not saying that frozen strawberries, raspberries, peach slices and cantaloupe chunks aren't also very tasty when frozen, because they are. Bananas, though, are my #1 popsicle choice.
