Hot summer days remind of times when my siblings and I would
spend the day riding our bikes in the neighbourhood, and right around dusk, we
would pool together our dimes and nickels to race to convenience store to get
our favourite treat – 10 cent Popsicles! Our biggest problems: choosing the
flavour, followed by splitting the Popsicle in half without breaking it in the wrong
place. I can’t say I’ve had a store bought Popsicle in a long time but it doesn’t
mean that I don’t want a cool treat to beat the heat!
I decided to create my own protein infused Popsicle treat to
satisfy my sweet tooth craving…
What you will need: Popsicle mould (I bought mine from Loblaw’s
(President’s Choice) that are Paraben free.
1 scoop Cookies N Cream Protein Powder
1 Scoop of Greens (I use Cyto Greens) – this can be omitted
1 frozen banana
1 tsp coco and maca powder
1 espresso-sized cup of coffee
Ice
Fill Popsicle moulds with mixture and freeze overnight (I had enough for
seven). Take out Treat and enjoy.
Calories per popscicle: 32
Protein: 3 grams

These must be the most healthy popsicles ever! When I was little we always had the ten cent popsicles at home... The worst was when the supply started to run low and only the orange ones were left. Pink always went first at my house :)
