Ingredients
- 1 Frozen Banana
- 75g Frozen Strawberries
- 1½ Scoops SFN Lean Chocolate Whey Protein
- 1 tbsp Cacao Powder
- Splash of Milk
Method
- Blend the Fruit: Start by placing the frozen banana and strawberries in a blender. Pulse until they're broken down into small chunks.
- Add Milk and Blend: Pour in a splash of milk and blend again until smooth. You may need to scrape down the sides of the blender occasionally to ensure even blending.
- Mix in the Protein Powder and Cacao: Add the protein powder and cacao powder to the mixture. Blend until just combined, being careful not to over-blend.
- Freeze the Lollies: Spoon the mixture into ice lolly moulds, or if you don't have those, you can use an airtight container. Place in the freezer for about 3-4 hours, or until completely frozen.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once frozen, remove from the moulds and enjoy a cooling, protein-packed treat!
Tips and Tricks
- No Ice Lolly Moulds? No Problem: If you don't have ice lolly moulds, simply pour the mixture into a Tupperware container. Once frozen, you can scoop out portions into bowls or use an ice cream scoop for easy serving.
- Customise Your Lollies: Want to mix things up? Try adding different frozen fruits like blueberries or raspberries. For an extra chocolatey kick, drizzle melted dark chocolate over the frozen lollies before serving.
- Serving Suggestions: These ice lollies are perfect on their own, but you can also pair them with fresh berries or a dollop of whipped cream for a more indulgent treat.
