If you peel the bananas first, you won't need to strain to remove skins... :-)

I think adding cranberry juice and sugar - is too much. I made these with just bananas and blueberries with a smidge of filtered water and they were plenty sweet (and much healthier)

Adding sugar is completely optional and we have updated the recipe to reflect that. Glad you made delicious pops!
