Protein ice cream bites (vegan, paleo)
These protein ice cream bites are perfect to curb any sweet tooth or that post workout sweat! They are gluten and refined sugar free, vegan, and made with whole food ingredients while being incredibly creamy and perfectly sweet!
Ingredients
Ice cream bites
- 1/2 cup cashew butter *Can sub any nut/seed butter
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 1/3 cup coconut yogurt or greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup milk, of choice *more as needed
- 1/4 cup of your favorite protein powder * can omit
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract & pinch of sea salt
Coating
- 1 1/3 cups chocolate chips or chunks
- 2 tsp coconut oil, melted *if needed to help thin the chocolate
Instructions
- Blend all of the ice cream bite ingredients in a high powered blender until smooth, starting with 1/2 cup milk. If your mixture is super thick, you can add 1/4 cup extra milk. Taste & adjust as you’d like (more vanilla, sweetener, etc).
- Pour into an ice cube tray or mold & freeze for 5-6 hours or overnight.
- Once completely frozen, melt the chocolate in a bowl. If your chocolate is super thick, you may need to thin it out with some coconut oil. This will make the bites easier to coat.
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Remove the cubes from the mold. Quickly dunk each one & place on the tray. Return to the freezer for 20 mins until chocolate has hardened.
- These are best if you leave them out for a couple minutes to thaw before enjoying!
