Protein Popsicle

I’ve shared a popsicle recipe on the blog before and figured it was about time for another. While it may be September and everyone is discussing fall and cooler temperatures, it still feels very much like summer here in Georgia. Creating popsicles with my Zoku Quick Pop Maker is super easy and fun. You simply freeze the pop maker and when you are ready to make your popsicles you pour the mixture in and watch it freeze before your eyes. It only takes around 8-10 minutes for it to completely freeze. The fact that it freezes the popsicles so quickly makes it convenient to fix when you’ve got a sweet tooth craving. No more having to place the mixture back in the freezer and waiting for the popsicle to freeze completely. The removal of the popsicles and the clean up process is also easy which is just another plus. I can’t recommend the Zoku Quick Pop Maker enough if you in the market for a good popsicle mold/maker.

I shared a fruity popsicle recipe on the blog a few weeks ago but decided to try something a little different this time. I typically drink protein following my workouts but wanted to find a way to create a protein packed popsicle that I could have after workouts instead. I used only 5 ingredients to create a healthy chocolate protein popsicle.

I added one scoop of the Quest Chocolate Milkshake Protein, 1 tsp of agave, 2 tsp of cocoa powder, 1 tablespoon of chia seeds, and 1 cup of chocolate unsweetened almond milk. I blended all ingredients until thoroughly mixed and then slowly poured mixture into the Zoku Quick Pop Maker. Within 8-10 minutes the popsicles are completely frozen and ready to be removed and enjoyed.
