Healthy Tip:
About Coconut milk - This dairy-free milk is made from the pulp or flesh of the coconut and combined with water resulting in a delicious, creamy white liquid which can be used in many recipes. And because it’s a rich source of electrolytes, your frozen treat will be just the right thing during an active, summer day. You can buy organic coconut milk in a can or if you prefer, you can even make your own!
When using coconut milk, you’ll get a much creamier texture using the full-fat option - it will be closer to the texture of dairy cream. If your preference is to use a lower fat coconut milk, you’ll still enjoy the great flavors but your frozen treat will have an icier texture. It’s your dessert, so you can create it to your liking!
Ingredients
Just 4 ingredients to create these tasty treats!
- 5 tbsp of Essentials Protein Chocolate (36g)

Ingredient notes
Only a few ingredients are required for this recipe, it is quick to make and inspires healthy eating for summer treats.
- Banana - We recommend using frozen bananas for maximum freshness. Freezing tip: if you freeze your own, peel them before putting them in the freezer. Once frozen, just put them in a blender and that's it !
- Coconut milk - We recommend an organic full-fat coconut milk because it gives these frozen treats a smooth, creamy texture.
- Cocoa Powder - We like to use organic cocoa powder. This unsweetened chocolate product will add antioxidants and a rich, deep chocolate flavor, hence its name of Chocolate Protein Fudge pops. A chocolate lover’s healthy dream!
