    I came across this flag popsicle idea, and I just had to make a protein version! So here you have Protein Flag Pops! Perfect for your 4th of July barbecue!

    three layered popsicles with red, white, and blue layers
    Protein Flag Popsicles

    The blueberry layer has added unflavored whey protein, as does the Greek yogurt layer. Don't add any to the strawberry layer, though, if you want to keep the rich red color. (I tried it. It turns pink.)

    This recipe makes 10 pops, as many as the popsicle mold holds. I've written this recipe so that you can make and share for the 4th, and the quantities worked out nicely for 10 pops. The recipes in the ebook make smaller amounts, but you can always double or triple those recipes.

    Only 43 calories in these pops! Have one of these Protein Flag Pops for a light and refreshing protein treat!

    Ingredients

    Blueberry layer:

    • 1 cup blueberries pureed (148g)
    • ¼ cup unflavored whey protein powder 23g

    Yogurt layer:

    • ¾ cup nonfat Greek yogurt 170g
    • ¼ cup unsweetened almond-coconut milk 60ml (or any milk)
    • 2 tablespoons unflavored whey protein powder 11g
    • 2 packets stevia 2g

    Strawberry layer:

    • 2 cup strawberries pureed (280g)

    Instructions

    • Mix ingredients for blueberry layer, and spoon into popsicle mold cavities.
    • Freeze for 2-3 hours (or more).
    • Mix ingredients for yogurt layer, and use half of the mixture to make a white layer for the pops.
    • Cover the mold and insert sticks.
    • Freeze for 2-3 hours (or more).
    • Mix ingredients for strawberry layer.
    • Remove cover of popsicle mold. The sticks should be firmly in place.
    • Use half of the strawberry mix to make a red layer for the pops.
    • Freeze for 2-3 hours (or more).
    • Repeat for another white and red layer, freezing each for 2-3 hours (or more).
    • To remove pops from mold, immerse the mold in warm water for a minute or two. Be sure each entire popsicle is immersed in the warm water for easy removal.
    • Enjoy! Store extras wrapped individually in parchment paper and then in a ziplock bag.

    Notes

    A note about substitutions: Unflavored casein should work in this recipe (in place of the whey) but I wouldn't suggest using vegan protein powders here. They would likely have too much flavor and texture.
