Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Creamy Vanilla Protein Popsicles: 1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
  • ½ cup (120 g) cottage cheese, small-curd
  • 1 scoop vanilla-flavored protein powder
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • ½ tsp pure vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • For the Berry Greek Yogurt Popsicles: 1 cup (240 ml) Greek yogurt, plain or vanilla
  • 1 cup (150 g) mixed berries, fresh or frozen
  • 1 scoop unflavored or berry-flavored protein powder
  • 1 tbsp agave nectar or honey (optional)
  • Juice of half a lemon
  • For the Chocolate Banana Protein Popsicles: 1 large ripe banana, mashed
  • 1 cup (240 ml) milk of choice (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
  • 1 tbsp natural peanut butter or almond butter (optional)
  • 1 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • Pinch of cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Prepare your ingredients: Measure your liquids and solids, rinse fresh fruit, and get your protein powder ready.
  2. Blend the base: Add the listed ingredients for your chosen variation to the blender and blend on high for about 30 seconds until smooth and creamy.
  3. Taste and adjust: If too thick, add a splash of milk; if needed, add a little honey or maple syrup to adjust sweetness.
  4. Pour into molds: Fill popsicle molds, leaving a little space at the top for expansion. Tap molds lightly to remove air bubbles.
  5. Add sticks: Insert popsicle sticks if required by your mold.
  6. Freeze: Place molds flat in the freezer for at least 4-6 hours, preferably overnight.
  7. Unmold and enjoy: Run warm water briefly over the molds to loosen popsicles, then gently remove.

Notes

Do not overload protein powder to avoid chalky texture. Use ripe fruit for natural sweetness. Freeze molds flat for even freezing. For chunkier berry popsicles, pulse berries instead of pureeing. Layer flavors by partially freezing one layer before adding another. Popsicles keep well for up to 2 weeks in airtight containers. Let sit at room temperature 3-5 minutes before eating for softer texture.
