My youngest teenager has posted this message on his calendar to represent the first day back to middle school, "Death Begins". I am maybe going out on a limb by saying this, but something makes me think he is not be looking forward to the homework assignments, tests, papers, etc. What do you think?
To help with the transition from summer to the school year, I have just the perfect recipe- "Banana Popsicles". These fun little treats are perfect for after school snacks. They may actually help bring a little smile back to their faces while they work on their homework.
In season now here in Asia is the miniature Taiwan banana. They are so very sweet, cute and delicious and this was the inspiration for my recipe. However, if you cannot find the little miniature bananas just a regular sized banana cut in half will work just fine.
Fun Banana Popsicle Toppings
In addition, I also took some bananas and dipped them into vanilla yogurt, instead of chocolate and they taste like banana flavored ice cream. Yummy and accidentally healthy. The sky is the limit for determining what toppings you would like for your frozen dipped bananas. You may like to try crushed nuts, shaved coconut, chocolate chips, red hot candies, etc to top on your bananas.

The first time we saw these was at Tanabata festival in Japan. They are delicious. Thanks for showing how to create these fun summer treats for ALL ages.
Shelley, I miss Japan so very much. I am sure that my banana Popsicles are not as beautiful as the ones at the Tanabata festival but we sure had fun making them. Thank goodness I tried one before I set them out as a treat as they were demolished. Take care
