In an effort to justify consuming mass amounts of frozen deliciousness, I decided to start making my own Popsicles. I was initially going to stick to the standard fruit/coconut water blend, until I came across a recipe for fudge pops using chocolate whey protein powder. Protein Pops?! Yes, please!
Not only are these super simple to make, they taste great, and they're a yummy way to get more protein in your diet and to combat those pesky chocolate cravings. Texture might be a bit of a roadblock for some, since protein powder makes them slightly gritty, but it didn't bother me, and if you can get past it, they really hit the spot.
Ingredients:
1 can of coconut milk, I used the full-fat, but it's up to you
1 tbsp agave nectar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 scoop chocolate whey protein powder (though any flavor will work)
Blend all of the ingredients in a blender, making sure to scrape down the coconut milk goop, until smooth. Divide evenly into Popsicle molds or disposable paper cups (if using cups, insert Popsicle sticks halfway through the freeze time). Freeze for 4 hours or overnight.
