Strawberry Banana Creamsicles with Almonds are a delightful and nutritious treat that are perfect for a hot day or a healthy dessert option. Made with Greek yogurt, banana, strawberries, and almonds, these creamsicles are not only delicious but also packed with vitamins, minerals, and protein. Let's get started with this simple yet tasty recipe.
Instructions:
- Wash the strawberries thoroughly, remove the stems, and cut them into halves or quarters to aid in blending.
- Peel the banana and cut it into slices.
- If your almonds are whole, roughly chop them for easier blending and to create smaller pieces for a smoother texture.
- In a blender or food processor, add the Greek yogurt, sliced banana, and strawberries.
- Blend the ingredients until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides if necessary to ensure even blending.
- Add the roughly chopped almonds to the mixture. You can either blend them in completely for a smooth texture with fine almond pieces, or stir them in after blending to have larger almond chunks in your creamsicles.
- Pour the blended mixture into popsicle molds, dividing it evenly among the molds.
- Gently tap the molds on the counter to remove any air bubbles and to ensure the mixture fills the molds entirely.
- Insert the popsicle sticks into each mold.
- Place the molds in the freezer, and freeze for at least 4 hours or until fully set.
- Once the creamsicles are fully frozen, remove them from the molds by running warm water over the outside of the mold for a few seconds. This will help release the creamsicles without breaking them.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing strawberry banana creamsicles with a delightful crunch from the almonds!

Strawberry banana creamsicles with almonds FAQ:
The creamsicles should be frozen for at least 4 hours or until fully set. If not completely frozen, they may be too soft to easily remove from the molds.
Store leftover creamsicles in an airtight container in the freezer. They can last for about 1-2 weeks, but for the best taste, enjoy them within the week.
Yes, you can substitute other fruits such as peaches, mangoes, or blueberries, but keep in mind that this may alter the flavor and texture of the creamsicles.
While Greek yogurt is recommended for its creaminess and protein content, you can also use regular yogurt. Ensure it's unflavored for the best taste.
If the creamsicles are difficult to remove, run warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds. This helps loosen the creamsicles for easier removal.
Tips:
- Ensure your ingredients are fresh for the best flavor. Fresh strawberries and a ripe banana will provide natural sweetness.
- If you prefer a smoother texture, blend the almonds into a fine powder before mixing them with the rest of the ingredients.
- For a sweeter treat, you can add a small amount of honey or maple syrup to the mixture.
- Use silicone popsicle molds for easy removal of the creamsicles once they are frozen.
- To make the creamsicles even creamier, consider adding a splash of milk or a quarter of an avocado to the mix.
