Servings 4
Ingredients
- 1 cup thick Greek-style yogurt
- 1/4 cup cashew (or any nut or seed) butter
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1/2-1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated or powdered ginger to taste
- 1 scoop protein or collagen powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Chocolate Coating
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- Handful of nuts, optional (I used chopped peanuts)
- Popsicle sticks whole, or cut in half
Instructions
- Combine the yogurt, cashew butter, honey, ginger, protein powder and vanilla extract in a small bowl. Mix well until combined. Taste test and add more honey, ginger or vanilla extract if you think it needs it.Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use a silicon mat.Use a large cookie scoop or spoon to scoop the mixture in dollops onto the baking sheet. Each dollop is about 2 rounded tablespoons in size, making 4 bites.Place the popsicle sticks in the center of each making sure the sticks are well covered in the yogurt mixture so they hold firmly while eating. Place the bites in the freezer for at least 2 hours, or until firm. The bites need to be fully frozen in order to dip them in chocolate.Once the bites are frozen, melt the chocolate and coconut oil. You can either melt the chocolate in the microwave at 20 second intervals, or over the stove top on low heat. Add the chopped nuts to the melted chocolate.Remove the bites from the freezer and dip them, one at a time, into the melted chocolate using the popsicle sticks as a handle. Place the dipped bites back on the lined baking sheet. Place back in freezer until the chocolate is set, around 10 minutes.
