I don’t know about you but when I get back from a run or workout, I want to have something high-protein for recovery that is also refreshing (this is even the case during colder months, just really hits the spot). That’s why I came up with these post-workout matcha banana ice pops! They are so simple to make; just pour the NEW Odwalla Zero Sugar Smoothie & banana slices in a popsicle mold the day before, store in a freezer bag, and when you come home from a run or workout all hot and sweaty—you can grab one out of the freezer! You can play around with different Odwalla Zero Sugar Smoothie flavors from Safeway and also try other fruits like strawberries or blueberries. Possibilities are endless but prep time is always quick and easy!

What a great idea! I never would have thought to make “ice cream” for after workouts. WIll save this recipe for seven months from now when I don’t just want a hot bath after a workout 😉
Definitely save for hotter months! I run hot so I like popscicles all year round after a workout 😉
Yum! Love making homemade desserts and matcha is a recent favorite discovery for me! Thanks for the idea
Of course Noelle! Enjoy!
These are so good. I love Matcha, and these fell like such a decadent but healthy treat.
Thanks Diana!
Such a fun way to make ice pops! I usually make my own matcha drink, so I’m going to give this a try with what I have at home first. 🙂
Definitely try it Anita!
Brilliant idea for a refreshing and tasty snack. Perfect for after a workout or for a mid-morning treat. so easy to make and sounds delicious. I often find that homemade ice pops and lollies are much better than shop bought.
