Homemade, Nutritious Blueberry Cottage Cheese Ice Pops
In the sweltering heat of summer, there's nothing quite like a cool, refreshing popsicle to beat the heat. And now, we've got a recipe that not only satisfies your sweet tooth but also packs a punch of protein.
The base of these popsicles is creamy cottage cheese, blended until smooth. Honey, a natural sweetener, is added to balance the tanginess of the cheese, while a squeeze of lemon juice helps to keep the sweetness in check. You can use small curd cottage cheese for a smoother texture, or opt for regular cottage cheese if you prefer a bit more bite.
For those with a sweet tooth, you can drizzle a layer of melted chocolate over your popsicles for an extra indulgent treat. Alternatively, you can try the Raspberry Hibiscus Popsicles, which offer a delightful balance of sweet and tart flavors.
Fresh blueberries are a fantastic addition to these popsicles, providing a burst of flavor and a beautiful colour. Simply fold them into the cottage cheese mixture to keep them whole. Other fruits like strawberries, raspberries, mixed berries, or even frozen berries can be used instead.
To make these popsicles, simply pour the mixture into your molds of choice - silicone popsicle molds, durable mini popsicle molds, cookie souper cubes molds, or even chocolate molds. Insert a popsicle stick, and then freeze until solid.
For a quick protein snack, you can even freeze the mixture in ice cube trays, chocolate molds, or Souper Cubes. These make for a perfect post-workout snack or a quick pick-me-up on a hot day.
These popsicles are a healthy frozen treat, packed with protein and suitable for both kids and adults. Pair them with a berry-topped salad, an iced Arnold Palmer, lemonade, or enjoy them as they are.
The origins of the recipe for these cottage cheese popsicles are not documented or widely known, but one thing is certain - they're a delicious addition to any summer day. And if you're feeling adventurous, why not try adding a dash of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon to change up the flavour?
For those looking for other protein-heavy treats, why not try protein waffles? Whatever your choice, these popsicles are sure to become a summer staple. So, get blending and enjoy the refreshing taste of cottage cheese popsicles!
