A delightful twist on frozen ice pops, these luscious, chocolate-dipped bananas are high in potassium, a mineral which helps maintain the proper functioning of the heart and kidneys.

INGREDIENTS

2 ripe medium bananas
4 wooden sticks
1/2 cup low-fat granola cereal without raisins
1/3 cup hot fudge topping, at room temperature

PREPARATION:

  1. Line baking sheet with waxed paper; set aside.
  2. Peel bananas; cut each in half crosswise. Insert wooden stick into center of cut end of each banana about 1-1/2 inches into banana half. Place on prepared baking sheet; freeze until firm, at least 2 hours.
  3. Place granola in large resealable food storage bag; crush slightly using rolling pin or meat mallet. Transfer granola to shallow plate. Place hot fudge topping in shallow dish.
