Choc Protein Icypoles

Choc Protein Icypoles

I don't know why but it's some kind of innate reflex of mine that craves icypoles the second the sun starts to shine. I lose my mind, I want icypoles every hour of the day. I don't care what flavour, just make sure they're frozen and on a stick.Unfortunately, sugar and fat and everything that makes those store bought icypoles delicious, aren't exactly on my menu. Sure every once in a while isn't going to do you any harm, but I'm not kidding when I say I want them every day. Lucky for me, my little brain came up with this chocolate protein icypole recipe the second I started contemplating buying a chocolate paddle pop (banana is usually my go to paddle pop but I don't discriminate). The good news is that not only are these chocolate protein icypoles creamy and refreshing they're also made with healthy ingredients that won't leave you in a chocolate coma. They're the perfect treat are busting your ass at the gym, or even just on a hot Summer's day when you're lazing about in the sun.
