Post-Workout Snack: Pineapple Coconut Macadamia Nut Frozen Pop


Now that I have been having a regular workout schedule I have started to research what foods are best to eat before and after your workout. I used to workout on an empty stomach and just learned by eating a meal with some carbs and protein it gives you the energy to work harder. I like to eat a small bowl of oatmeal with some fruit and a couple of slices of bacon. This gives me just enough energy without making me feel full or bloated.


After I come home from my workout out I like to recover by eating lots of protein. It was always a protein shake that I would mix with my favorite Silk Vanilla Soy Milk. I started getting bored of the same shake but didn't want to be in the kitchen cooking a meal to make something else. Since the weather is getting warmer I decided to concoct a yummy frozen pop that was tropical and had my favorite nuts in it. I wanted it to be loaded with protein so I used Silk Soy milk as the base so I could get a great start with 8 grams of plant powdered protein. Not only is it natually low in saturated fat and has no cholesterol but it also tastes delicious.


Pineapple Coconut Macadamia Nut Frozen Pop
  • 3/4 cup vanilla Silk Soy Milk
  • 1/4 cup coconut water
  • 1/2 cup fresh pineapple chopped and then frozen
  • 1/2 tblsp natural sweetener of choice, more or less to taste
  • 2 tblsp macadamia nuts, chopped
  • 1 tblsp unsweetened coconut flakes
  1. Add Silk soy milk, coconut, pineapple and sweetener into a blender. Blend until smooth. 
  2. Place macadamia nuts and coconut into a small bowl and mix together. 
  3. Place the pop sticks and then a tablespoon of the pop liquid into each chamber. Sprinkle in about 1/2 tablespoon of the macadamia nut and coconut mix into each chamber. Fill the remaining space with the frozen pop liquid. 
  4. Allow to freeze completely then pop out and enjoy. 
**If you don't have a zoku maker you can use the plastic pop makers or small paper cups with a stick in the middle. First add a layer of the pop mix and let it freeze. Then add a layer of the coconut and macadamia mix and then fill the rest with the pop mix.


These are incredebily yummy and fun to eat after a hard workout. The protein from the Silk milk and carbs from the fruit recovers your worked muscles.

    Ik overdrijf vaak met alcohol. En ik kan de avond met een meisje niet voortzetten. Maar ik vergat dit probleem met het gereedschap van tadalista prijs! Dit is een echte bom faciliteit! Ga naar de site en start de weg naar de sfeer van hete nachten en onvergetelijke sensaties!
