Ingredients
6 small ripe bananas
6 popsicle sticks
6 tbsp chocolate syrup, (optional)
Directions
For each pop, carefully insert a popsicle stick into the bottom of 1
banana, burying about half of the stick. Wrap each banana individually in
plastic wrap, and freeze for at least 6 hours.
To serve, unwrap each banana, and eat like a popsicle. If desired, lay
each banana on a plate, and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of chocolate syrup
before serving. To combat dripping chocolate, hold the pop over the plate
while eating it.
Frozen banana pops will keep in the freezer, tightly wrapped, for 2 to 3
weeks.
This recipe yields 6 servings. Serving size: 1 pop.
Exchanges Per Serving: 1 Fruit.

Comments: Frozen banana pops are a snap to make and taste a lot like ice
cream. For extra pizzazz, drizzle them with chocolate syrup before
serving. The recipe calls for using popsicle sticks. If they are
unavailable, the end of each pop can be held in a folded piece of plastic
wrap.

Super foods containing lycopene (includes watermelon, papaya and tomatoes) The nutrient lypcopene is a simple compound used to color foods and part of the same group of phytochemicals as carotene. Lycopene is the agent responsible for the vivid red hue of many natural foods. Usefully, unlike numerous vitamins, this useful phytochemical does not become less effective if heated during cooking, but is really made more effective by going through the cooking process. . Its most valuable theraputic value is that it acts as an antioxidant and appears to help to reduce the risks of contracting cancer. Lycopene is the most effective quencher of singlet oxygen, which is correlated with aging of the skin. It is also thought by nutritionalists to impede the progression of diseases affecting arterial blood vessels.
