It is still a little ways off before summer, but our family is loving these creamy fruity protein popsicles. They are made with a new private label protein powder called Sprouts Superfood and Berry Blend Protein. This vegan protein and superfruit blend has all of the good stuff inside.
This protein powder has no milk, egg, soy, peanut, wheat, fish, shellfish, gluten, or yeast ingredients. This is an amazing product for those dealing with multiple food allergies!
If you are looking for a way to add protein to your diet, this healthy popsicle recipe is really a tasty way to do it! Serve them poolside, or enjoy them after a workout!
Why This Recipe Is Great:
- These popsicles are a great way to sneak in protein.
- They are a cool snack anytime!
- Frozen popsicles are perfect for summer.
- They taste delicious and have chunks of frozen fruit.
- There is no sugar, making them great for those following a keto diet.
Ingredient notes:
- Sprouts Superfood and Berry Blend Protein - This protein powder is made with all vegan ingredients and has no refined sugars. It is sweetened with Monkfruit and Stevia, which will prevent a sugar rush!
- Greek yogurt - You can use any brand and any fat content you prefer. I prefer vanilla flavored for this recipe.
- Fresh berries - Use any fresh berries you like. I blended in raspberries and used sliced strawberries in the popsicle mold.
- Milk - You can use regular milk, or non-dairy milk. I used almond milk in my recipe.
How To Make Fruity Protein Popsicles:
Step 1: Add one scoop of protein powder to the blender. (Each scoop contains 20 grams of protein and vitamins, minerals, and amino acids with a fruity flavored superfood berry blend.)
Step 2: Add the 1 cup milk, 1 cup Greek yogurt, and ⅓ cup berries to the blender or Vitamix.
Step 3: Blend on high speed for 30 seconds until all of the fruit is blended in smoothly.
Step 4: Add the sliced strawberries to each popsicle section of the popsicle mold. I like using silicone popsicle molds because it is a lot easier to get the popsicles out when they are frozen.
Step 5: Pour the protein popsicle mixture into each popsicle section. Add the lid on top of the popsicle mold.
Step 6: Insert the wooden popsicle sticks into each section in your popsicle mold.
Step 7: Place the popsicle mold into the freezer for 2-3 hours until the popsicles are frozen solid. You are going to love the fruity flavors that shine through from this protein powder!
Variations:
There are lots of ways to vary the flavors of these healthy protein popsicles.
- Change up the fruits. You can use any berries, and even cherries!
- Use frozen fruit and add ½ cup of ice cubes to make this a smoothie! Serve your smoothie with granola. Sprout Market has several great gluten free granola brands you can buy in their store!
Storage:
I recommend storing these smoothie popsicles in a freezer bag. Gently remove each from the popsicle mold and place them into a freezer bag. Squeeze out the extra air. These popsicles will keep fresh for up to 3 months.
You can enjoy fruity chunks in every bite!
Tips and Recipe FAQ:
You can make this recipe dairy-free by using dairy-free yogurt and dairy-free milk like almond milk.
You can use two scoops of protein powder, but the texture of the popsicles will be a bit grainy.
If you use a silicone mold as I did, you can easily press the top of the mold and push out the popsicles. If you use a rigid plastic mold, you can run it under warm water until the popsicles slide out.
If you love strawberries, try these strawberry popsicles too.
