Did you know that dark chocolate is packed with antioxidants and flavonoids, making it a great choice for a healthier treat? Just be sure to choose a high-quality dark chocolate with a high cacao percentage for the most health benefits.
These Frozen Chocolate Popsicles are incredibly easy to make, requiring just a few simple ingredients you might already have and a few minutes of prep time. It’s a great activity to enjoy with your kids (a food craft as I like to call it!), teaching them about healthy eating and the joy of creating something fun.
➡️When shopping for ingredients:
Look for a higher percentage of cacao chocolate chips or chocolate bar to melt, and always read the ingredients.
There are often lots of questions about chocolate brands – I like to visit the specialty (nicer) chocolate section at the stores and find a really high quality, (often organic) dark chocolate bar on SALE – so I’m often trying something different because the sales dictate my purchase.
🍫A high-quality dark chocolate bar works great too! I’ll often find a beautiful organic dark chocolate bar on sale, then chop it up to use for things like this.
I like to buy the highest quality I can find when it’s on SALE! I’m always keeping an eye out for a good deal and will often stock up when a high-quality product is on special.
Use any dark chocolate chips of your choice: the higher cacao percentage = more health benefits.
🍫Cacao vs. Cocoa
Although they are both completely interchangeable in recipes, they are each processed differently.
Cacao is the purest form of chocolate. It’s an excellent source of antioxidants and has a high number of flavonoids. Cacao is higher in protein, fiber, magnesium, and iron than its cousin cocoa.
If all you have on hand is cocoa powder, then that’s fine to use.
When you have a choice at the grocery store, reach for the less processed raw cacao to take advantage of its awesome health benefits in all of your homemade treats!
What’s the difference between cocoa and cacao?
🍯Sweetness factor is a very personal taste preference, so you may want to use more or less pure maple syrup or raw honey, depending on YOUR family’s specific taste preferences.
🥛Use ANY unsweetened/plain milk of your choice. My personal favorite for these treats is unsweetened coconut milk or cashew milk. Any unsweetened nut milk, coconut milk, or high-quality grass-fed cow’s milk all work really well here. Use what you personally like and have on hand.
-> I used “Just Ingredients” protein powder in vanilla flavor for these froyo pops.
Why is the Just Ingredients Protein Powder & collagen our FAVORITE option?
The protein comes from 5 sources: 100% super high-quality grass-fed whey, pea protein, pumpkin seed, chia seeds and collagen. There is a lot less whey compared to normal protein powders so it may be easier on the stomach than other protein powders!
