Equipment

  • 6 Popsicle sticks

Ingredients

  • 2 bananas, sliced, frozen
  • 1/4 cup thick Greek-style yogurt
  • 1/4 cup almond (or your choice) milk
  • 1/4 cup peanut (or any other nut or seed) butter
  • 1/4 cup protein or collagen peptides powder
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Chocolate Coating

  • 1 1/4 cups chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts for topping

Instructions

  • Place bananas, yogurt, milk, peanut butter, protein powder, cocoa and vanilla extract into a food processor and process until smooth and creamy.
    Pour into popsicle molds (or ice cube trays if that’s all you have!). Place a popsicle stick in each one.
    Freeze for at least 4 hours or until solid.

Chocolate Coating

  • Place chocolate chips and coconut oil in small dish and microwave with 20 second bursts stirring between each one until melted and smooth.
    Or use double boiler method - (pot of boiling water with a bowl resting on top) melt the chocolate chips and the coconut oil together.
    Once melted pour into a tall glass for easy dunking.
    Unmold frozen ice cream bars. Dip in melted chocolate and immediately top with chopped nuts of choice. Work quickly as due to the coconut oil in mixture, the chocolate will set very quickly.
    Enjoy immediately or keep frozen until ready to eat.
    Cover tightly in plastic wrap or keep in an airtight container in the freezer for several months.
    TIP: For the best results, leave the ice cream bars in the freezer until the very last second and take each bar out individually to coat/dip them in chocolate. The more frozen the bars are - the easier this step will be.
