Great Summer Treat! Protein Powered Fudgesicles

fudgesicles

Most of us have fond memories of frozen treats like fudgesicles.  As a bariatric patient, there are recipes that can duplicate those frozen wonders of summers past. Here is a great recipe for healthier fudgesicles with just 3 ingredients:  chocolate protein powder, skim milk and a package of sugar free, fat free pudding mix.  It’s the type of starch in the pudding mix that provides a creamier texture.  This can be used before surgery or starting in the full liquids phase after surgery.  There are some flavor options suggested in case chocolate isn’t your thing.

Yield:  6 Fudgesicles

Directions:

IngredientsDirections
 2 cups skim milk
Chocolate protein powder to equal 40 grams protein
 Mix thoroughly in a medium mixing bowl.
 1 box sugar free, fat free chocolate pudding mix Add to milk and protein powder mixture. Stir 2-3 minutes until thoroughly mixed. Distribute between 6 popsicle molds. You can also use 6 small paper cups and put a popsicle stick in each paper cup. Freeze until solid. This will take about 4 hours. 

Flavor Options:  Try a fruit flavored protein mixed with a vanilla sugar free pudding package.
