Trainer-Approved Recipe: Green Smoothie Popsicles

Craving a sweet treat after a sweaty summer workout? Cool down with this protein-packed green smoothie popsicle recipe - trainer approved!

 

 

 

This is my go-to post-workout smoothie. It tastes like a treat and is loaded with protein. Smoothies can be dangerous because they're so easy to load up with too much sugar and calories, but if you do them right, they're a great way to refuel your body after a workout. Hot Tip: Pour your smoothie mixture into popsicle molds, set in the freezer, and have green smoothie popsicles ready-made to satisfy sweet cravings on hot summer days. 

 

Half of a medium banana, sliced and frozen

Three frozen strawberries

1/4 cup frozen spinach

1/2 cup plain greek yogurt 

1 scoop vanilla protein powder

2 ounces water

 

Blend and enjoy as a smoothie, or pour blended smoothie mixture into popsicle molds and freeze for a cool sweet treat.
