There is not much of anything more beautiful than these protein-packed, festive red, white and blue Independence Day cupsicles!?!?
We most certainly need a name for them, so leave your thoughts in the comments.
These jokers are so simple to make, with a smooth, decadent, creamy center layer, will make you think you’re cheating!
We got this recipe from the guys over at Jaylab Pro, they say you’ve got to make each layer individually, enjoy!
Red layer:
1 cup fresh, rinsed, hulled Strawberries
3 dried, unsweetened Dates
White layer:
1-6 oz. container of Plain Greek Yogurt
1 Scoop Vanilla Protein Powder
¼ cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
Blue layer:
¾ cup washed Blackberries
¼ cup washed Blueberries
3 dried, unsweetened dates
**Reserve an additional 3/4 cup of blueberries to top the dessert cups.
Blend the ingredients for each layer with a blender or Bullet separately. Carefully spoon each layer equally into 3 clear cups, starting with the red berry, then the (white) cream, and lastly top with the blue layer. Fill to the top of the cup with the blueberries.
The amounts listed above will make 3 cups or servings with each one coming in at about 150 calories.
Here are a couple of notes:
– You’ll want to use berries that are fresh, not frozen, to maintain the stability of each fruit layer.
– The dates are important to help stabilize each layer, so they will stay three separate layers, versus running all together and settling.
– Best bet is to make these a day or a few hours in advance, so the layers have a chance to really set in the fridge.
