Banana Berry Protein Pops

Bananas and berries are a match made in heaven, and when you add a scoop of protein powder, it’s a healthy indulgence! These Banana Berry Protein Pops are the perfect warm-weather treat, packed with nutritious ingredients and bursting with juicy flavor.

Ingredients

• 1 ripe banana
• 1 cup frozen mixed berries (such as blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries)
• 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
• 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 10-12 ice pop molds
• Popsicle sticks or handles

Instructions

Peel the ripe banana and add it to a blender or food processor along with the frozen mixed berries, vanilla protein powder, and honey.

Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides of the blender as needed.

Add the plain Greek yogurt to the blender and blend until well combined.

Pour the mixture into each ice pop mold, leaving about 1/4 inch of space at the top.

Insert a Popsicle stick or handle into each mold.

Place the molds in the freezer and let them set for at least 4-5 hours or overnight.

Once frozen, remove the pops from the freezer and let them sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Gently pull out each pop from the mold and serve immediately.

Notes

You can use other types of protein powder if you prefer, just keep in mind that the flavor might change a bit.

If you’re not a fan of banana, you can replace it with another type of fruit like mango or peaches.

Make sure to blend the mixture until it’s super smooth, you don’t want any chunks of banana or berries in there.

If your blender is having a hard time, you can always thaw the berries a bit first.

Using Greek yogurt is important here, as it adds protein and creaminess to the pops.

Don’t skip it! You can also add a sprinkle of granola or chopped nuts to the pops before freezing for some extra crunch.

If you don’t have popsicle sticks, you can use wooden craft sticks or even plastic spoons as handles.

Get creative! When serving, be gentle when removing the pops from the molds, you don’t want to break them.

If they’re being stubborn, you can always run the molds under a bit of warm water to loosen them up.
