Protein Popsicles (Low Calorie)

Ingredients

• ½ cup chopped strawberries (fresh or frozen, ~70g)
• ½ cup vanilla protein powder (45g)
• 1 cup water (240ml)

Use a smooth-blending vanilla protein powder. I used vanilla whey concentrate.

A whey/casein blend will also work for these protein powder popsicles.

With plant-based protein powder, the mouthfeel might be a bit too grainy and the texture too icy.

How to Make High Protein Popsicles

Step 1: Add chopped strawberries to popsicle molds. Space them out so they don't all settle at the bottom.

Step 2: Mix water and vanilla whey protein powder until smooth.

Step 3: Pour the mixture into the molds over the strawberries. Adjust strawberries to leave room for the popsicle sticks, if needed.

Step 4: Insert wooden sticks and freeze for several hours or overnight.

Step 5: To remove popsicles from the mold, it may help to immerse the mold in a bowl of room temperature water.

Step 6: Store popsicles in a ziplock bag, or wrap individually in plastic wrap for long-term freezing.

*Because Naked Energy is carbonated, be sure to mix the whey in by hand (pour into a bowl, and mix with a whisk, fork, or immersion blender). Closed container blenders are not recommended with carbonated drinks.
