Ingredients
2 Cups Full-Fat Greek Yogurt
2 Scoops Vanilla Protein Powder
1.5 Cups Fresh Berries (Strawberries/Blueberries)
2 Tablespoons Honey or Maple Syrup
1/2 Cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Instructions
- Wash your berries thoroughly. If you use strawberries, remove the green stems and slice them into smaller pieces
- Place the Greek yogurt, protein powder, almond milk, honey, and vanilla extract into a high-speed blender. Blend on high for 30 seconds until the mixture looks completely smooth
- Add the fresh berries to the blender. Pulse a few times if you want chunks of fruit. Alternatively, blend on high for another 20 seconds for a uniform, vibrant color
- Carefully pour the mixture into your favorite popsicle molds. Leave about a quarter-inch of space at the top
- Place the lids on the molds and insert the wooden sticks. If your mold doesn't have a lid, freeze the popsicles for one hour first, then insert the sticks so they stay upright
- Place the molds in the coldest part of your freezer. Let the popsicles chill for at least 6 hours, or ideally overnight
- Run the outside of the molds under warm water for 10 seconds to loosen the popsicles. Gently pull the stick to release your treat
Notes
Use full-fat or 2% Greek yogurt to prevent iciness and ensure a luxurious mouthfeel.
Taste the mixture before freezing, as freezing dulls sweetness slightly.
Gently tap filled molds on the counter to remove air bubbles.
Avoid over-blending whey-based powder to prevent a foamy texture.
Wrap each popsicle individually in parchment paper or plastic wrap and store in a freezer-safe zip-top bag to prevent freezer burn.
Popsicles can be stored for up to three months.
If too hard, let sit on the counter for two minutes to soften slightly before eating.
