Notes
Additional Notes:
-
Make it vegan by using almond milk and plant-based protein.
-
For a lower-carb version, replace the banana with half an avocado or zucchini and use powdered peanut butter.
-
Add-ins like chia seeds, flaxseeds, or a handful of oats can increase fiber and satiety.
-
Freeze leftovers in popsicle molds for a fun, kid-friendly snack!
