Refreshing Blueberry Cottage Cheese Ice Pops for a Nutritious Treat
Discover the latest trend in frozen desserts with Blueberry Cottage Cheese Popsicles. This protein-rich frozen treat has taken the internet by storm, particularly on TikTok, thanks to its unique texture and high protein content.
The Recipe
To make these popsicles, you'll need cottage cheese, blueberries, honey, and lemon juice. Blend the cottage cheese until smooth, then add the honey and lemon juice, blending again. Fold in the fresh blueberries, pour the mixture into popsicle molds, insert popsicle sticks, and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight.
For a quick protein snack, you can freeze the mixture in ice cube trays, cookie souper cubes molds, or chocolate molds. If using paper cups or ice cube trays instead of molds, aluminum foil can be used to cover the tops, and popsicle sticks can be inserted through the center.
Variations
Feel free to customise your popsicles by adding vanilla extract, cinnamon, or a chocolate drizzle (melted chocolate chips or ready-made chocolate sauce). You can also experiment with different fruits like strawberries, raspberries, mixed berries, or even frozen berries.
Nutritional Benefits
Blueberry Cottage Cheese Popsicles are not just a delightful summer treat but also a healthy choice. They are packed with protein and calcium, making them an ideal post-workout snack. Vegan or Greek yogurt can be used instead of cottage cheese for those with dietary restrictions.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these popsicles with a berry-topped salad, iced Arnold Palmer or lemonade, or enjoy them as they are. They make a perfect refreshing snack on a hot summer day.
To remove the popsicles from the molds, bend the silicone molds until the popsicles come out. If you're using paper cups or ice cube trays, running them under warm water helps to remove the popsicles.
