What You'll Need

How to Make It

1. Combine bananas, coconut cream, protein powder, and vanilla extract in a blender or food processor.
2. Blend mixture until smooth and creamy.
3. Coat the inside of popsicle molds with coconut oil. ( * I used a kitchen pastry brush to coat the insides of the molds with coconut oil).
4. Next, evenly sprinkle shredded coconut into each mold. Cover the mold with your hand and shake it slightly to disperse the coconut flakes.
5. Evenly pour popsicle batter into 8 popsicle molds. Place a wooden popsicle stick into the middle of each mold.
6. Place popsicles in the freezer for at least 6 hours, or until completely frozen.

* Run the popsicle molds under warm water for a few seconds to help remove the popsicles.

 

As you savor each bite, allow the cool, silky texture to melt on your tongue, and let the balanced flavors of banana, coconut, and vanilla soothe your senses. This is a moment of pure relaxation and indulgence, where you can truly appreciate the simple pleasures in life.
