Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Frozen mixed berries
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain, unsweetened)
- 2 scoops Protein powder (vanilla-flavored)
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 cup Water
- 10 leaves Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Start by placing the frozen mixed berries, Greek yogurt, and protein powder in a high-speed blender.
Add honey and lemon juice to the blender, which will complement the sweetness and tartness of the berries.
Pour in water gradually to help the blending process and create a smooth consistency.
Blend all the ingredients on high speed until you achieve a smooth, thick mixture. If needed, pause to scrape down the sides of the blender with a spatula to ensure everything is well-combined.
Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness if necessary by adding a little more honey.
Pour the blended mixture into ice-pop molds or a shallow container if you prefer a granita-like texture.
Freeze for at least 4 hours or until the fruit ice has fully set.
To serve, remove from freezer and let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to slightly soften.
If using a container, scrape the surface with a fork to create icy flakes before serving.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a fragrant touch of freshness and serve immediately.
