Banana Popsicles with Vanilla and Cinnamon

Makes 5 popsicles Ingredients:

• 10 pitted dates
• 1/2 cup low-fat vanilla Greek yogurt
• 1 large ripe banana, peeled and chopped
• 1/2 cup milk – I used coconut milk but almond milk or dairy milk would also work
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Directions: Soak dates in hot water for about 5 minutes to soften them, then remove from water and chop them into very small pieces.  Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth.  Pour into 5 popsicle molds and freeze.Note: I had just barely enough mix to fill 5 standard popsicle molds so you may want to add a touch more yogurt and milk to the mixture to make sure there is enough, depending on the size of your popsicle molds. source: http://www.onceuponacuttingboard.com/2012/06/banana-date-popsicles.html
