What’s up Crush It Crew?
Spring just started, which means summer is right around the corner. I’m one who has no problem eating ice cream in the dead of winter, but there’s just something so nostalgic about ice cream popsicles on a hot day. So when we released our Chocolate Caramel Candy Bar PRO, my summer loving heart decided I’d get ready early with these Chocolate Caramel Candy Bar Protein Pops!
These pops have just 5 ingredients and pack 20g of protein each. They’re absolutely delicious, filling and come with zero guilt whatsoever!
The popsicle molds are incredibly easy to use and can be purchased in stores or on Amazon. You could also just pour your mixture onto parchment paper and insert a wooden popsicle stick in the end before freezing, the shape will just come out different.
A quick run-down of the ingredients:
Core PRO: the casein in this protein blend makes it the ideal choice for a creamy ice cream like texture
Greek Yogurt: I like the thickness you get with a low-fat Greek yogurt as opposed to a fat free, but feel free to use whichever works best for your nutritional requirements
Chocolate chips: highly recommended but not absolutely necessary. You could omit to save macros.
Coconut Oil: Again, this isn’t required, but it helps with creating more of a hard-shell coating when mixed with your melted chocolate chips

- 60g Chocolate Caramel Candy Bar PRO

Instructions:
- Mix your Greek yogurt, PRO and stevia in a bowl. It should be THICK.

- Freeze for at least 3-4 hours.
