For strawberry flavour:
Ingredients
- 50 g strawberries
- 1 tbsp. agave syrup
- 1 Scoop Vanilla Impact Whey Protein
- 50 g Greek yoghurt
- 125 ml almond milk
For peanut butter & banana:
- ½ banana
- 1 tbsp. agave syrup
- 1 scoop Impact Whey Protein (Vanilla)
- 20g peanut butter
- 50g Greek yoghurt
- 125ml almond milk
Optional:
- 100g milk chocolate
- 1 tbsp. 100% Coconut Oil
Instructions
For each flavour of popsicle, add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth.
Pour the mixture into popsicle moulds, then seal and freeze them for at least 8 hours or overnight.
When your popsicles are set, add milk chocolate and coconut oil to a microwavable bowl and microwave for a minute, then remove and stir. After that, microwave in 20 second intervals until the chocolate melts.
Transfer your melted chocolate to a glass and dip the end of each popsicle. The melted chocolate will set around the popsicle very fast — be careful to not let the popsicles start melting before you dip them, as the chocolate won’t stick to them.
Enjoy!
