Notes:

1. The combination of the freeze dried strawberries and shredded coconut gives the pops a festive finished product with a lot of added texture.
2. This works best when placing the freeze dried strawberries in a blender so it’s almost in a powdered form. If the strawberries are too chunky, they’ll have a harder time sticking to the yogurt on the bananas.
