Peach Berry Popsicles

Prep Time: 5 minutes  
Total Time: 4-12 hours  
Makes 4 servings

• 4 cups fresh peach slices, peeled
• ¼ cup coconut water
• ¼ cup fresh blueberries
• ¼ cup fresh blackberries

1. In a food processor or blender, purée the frozen peaches with the coconut water. Scrape down the sides and process again until smooth and creamy.

Mocha Latte Protein Ice Cream

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour 30 minutes
Makes 4 servings

• 2 scoops chocolate protein powder
• 1 1/4 cup milk (or milk alternative)
• ½ tsp gelatin or xantham gum
• 1-2 Tbsp instant coffee
• ¼ cup dark chocolate chips

1. Combine the protein powder and gelatin/xantham gum in a medium bowl.

2. In a separate bowl, froth the milk using a handheld blender until it almost doubles in size. Add the frothed milk to the combined dry ingredients and mix with a spatula.

3. Using the handheld blender, give the mixture a whirl to make sure it is well combined. Add the mixture to an ice cream maker and follow the directions.

4. After about five minutes, add the chocolate chips to the ice cream maker. Ice cream will be done after about 8-10 minutes. Transfer to a container and place in the freezer, cover, and let freeze for at least one hour.
