Thanks to Produce for Kids for sponsoring this post.

These Banana Crunch Pops are perfect for hot summer days — kids and adults will love them! Just 4 simple ingredients and effortless to make.

Skewer banana halves, dip in Greek yogurt, roll in chopped pistachios and shredded coconut, then freeze until firm.

Simple summer snacks taste best.

Frozen bananas on a stick are an easy, refreshing treat. I love the sweet-and-salty contrast — creamy Greek yogurt and sweet banana meet crunchy, salty pistachios and a hint of coconut for texture and flavor.

Produce for Kids invited me to join their healthy eating initiative with Publix supporting local Feeding America food banks. I was happy to participate — I’m always excited to promote fruits and vegetables. Last year I contributed a Balsamic Beef & Fruit Kabob recipe to the campaign, and this year’s Banana Crunch Pops are another simple way to enjoy fresh produce.

Last year’s campaign raised more than $206,000, providing over 2.2 million meals to families in need through Feeding America.

The campaign includes 13 participating fresh fruit and vegetable suppliers, representing many major categories of fresh produce. Sponsors include Avocados from Mexico, BUDDY FRUITS, Coast Tropical Florida, Crunch Pak, Del Monte, Driscoll’s, Fresh Express Salads, HMC Farms, Brandt Farms, J&D Produce “Little Bear”, Shuman Produce, Marie’s Dressing, and Wonderful Pistachios.
