Protein Popsicles – Great Post-Workout Treats

This summer has been so hot. I have been working out every morning and drinking a protein smoothie after my workout. To add variety to my post workout snacks, I made some popsicles that incorporate protein powder. I is so satisfying to be enjoying a delicious frozen treat and knowing that they help with muscle recovery while cooling down my body.

Today, I am sharing two recipes for great post-workout refueling treats: mango and blueberry protein popsicles. It only takes about 5 minutes to make them and it is as easy as blending a smoothie. With only one recipe, you will have lots of great popsicles to enjoy after your workouts.

For these recipes, I used the LeanFit Complete Green Protein Powder because it is vegan and gluten-free, but you can easily substitute it with any protein powder that you already use at home. Another vegan protein powder that I love is Vega. Let me know if you try other types of protein powder, I would love to hear about your favourite kind!

I really love these treats, but if you are not used to protein powder, you may find it a bit powdery at first, so you could put a little bit less powder in your mix. You can also try with to make these with other brands of protein powder, such as making a chocolate banana popsicle. The possibilities are endless!
