This was very nice, as you can see from my photo, I didn't end up making pops, as silly me has no icy pop moulds, so I decided to go with a more 'ice cream' approach. I left out the bananna since the smell of it makes me ill, so my attempt is certainly not the best one to judge by. The remaining flavours all were lovely, though I suspect the banana would have given it a more creamy texture. Note, if you do decide to just put in a container and freeze, you will need more than 4 hours for it to freeze. Made for My Food Odyssey October 2013
