Icebox Banana Crunch Pops

Numerous health resolutions are attempted on New Year's Day of each year with zeal and determination; however, as the winter months drag on, it is easy to give up on maintaining exercise and good eating habits.

One way to prep and keep healthy snacks abundant is to utilize your freezer more, and pack it full of Grab 'N Go' goodies!

This was a great idea presented on Brunch with Bobby Flay...provided you like bananas, granola, Nutella, and crunchy treats in general! 

Tip: Use real popsicle sticks, not the skewers I had to resort to!
