Banana and Chocolate Chip Pops
Low Fat Recipe

Ingredients:
1 small ripe banana
1 carton (8 ounces) banana nonfat yogurt
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips

Directions:
Slice banana; place in food processor with yogurt and nutmeg. Process until smooth. Transfer to a small bowl; stir in chips.

Spoon banana mixture into four plastic popsicle molds. Place tops on molds; set in provided stand. Set on level surface in freezer; freeze two hours or until firm. To unmold, briefly run warm water over popsicle molds until each pop loosens.

Notes:
Three ounce paper cups can be used instead of popsicle molds. Spoon yogurt mixture into paper cups, insert wooden stick in center of each and freeze. To prevent popsicles from tipping over, simply stand cups in a muffin pan after filling. To unmold, peel paper cup away.
