Looking for a cold summertime treat? These yogurt pops will do just the trick! They are a delicious snack filled with protein, carbohydrates and healthy fats.
Siggi’s vanilla yogurt is my favorite yogurt to use. Siggi’s yogurts are made with all natural ingredients, are high in protein and low in sugar. Low sugar yogurts are difficult to find and Siggi’s yogurt has 25% less sugar then many flavored yogurts.
Peanut butter is a great way to add protein and healthy fats to any meal. I always make sure to use a natural peanut butter. Natural peanut butters only use two ingredients, peanuts and occasionally a small amount of salt; no additives or extra sugars are needed.
I chose to top these yogurt pops with dark chocolate because it’s delicious and may be beneficial for your health. The flavanols, naturally occurring phytochemicals, in dark chocolate may improve blood flow and increase vascular dilation, which reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease.[1] I prefer using the 60% cacao Ghirardelli chocolate chips, but you can use whatever chocolate you like.
