Ingredients for Banana Push Ups

  • 3 ripe bananas, peeled and sliced
  • Instant Nonfat Dry Milk Powder
  • Plain Yogurt
  • Frozen Orange Juice Concentrate
  • Water

How to Make Banana Push Ups

  1. Peel and slice 3 ripe bananas. Add them to a blender along with 1/2 cup of milk (dairy or non-dairy), 1/4 cup plain yogurt (Greek or regular), and 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup (adjust to your sweetness preference).
  2. Blend until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. The mixture should be thick and foamy.
  3. Pour the mixture into small paper cups, filling them about ¾ full. Insert popsicle sticks or small spoons.
  4. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until solid.
  5. To enjoy, let the push-ups sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly before pushing them out of the cups.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
