Print Recipe

These protein popsicles are a cool, creamy, and nourishing post-workout treat packed with protein to support muscle recovery. Easy to make with simple ingredients and customizable for various dietary needs.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) Greek yogurt (plain, full-fat or low-fat)
  • 1/2 cup (60 g) protein powder (vanilla or unflavored whey, or pea/rice protein for vegan)
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based/dairy milk)
  • 1 medium ripe banana (fresh or frozen)
  • 1–2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Fresh berries or dark chocolate chips (optional mix-ins)

Instructions

  1. Prepare your ingredients by peeling and roughly chopping the banana if fresh, and measuring out Greek yogurt, almond milk, protein powder, and other ingredients.
  2. Add banana, Greek yogurt, protein powder, almond milk, honey/maple syrup, chia seeds, and vanilla extract to a blender. Blend on high until smooth and creamy, adding more almond milk if too thick.
  3. Gently stir in optional fresh berries or dark chocolate chips to preserve their texture.
  4. Pour the mixture into popsicle molds, leaving space at the top for expansion.
  5. Insert sticks and freeze for a minimum of 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  6. To unmold, briefly run warm water over the outside of the molds and slide out the popsicles.

Notes

Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and creaminess. Avoid adding too much almond milk to prevent icy texture. Freeze overnight for best results. If using a weaker blender, scrape sides during blending. Customize with seasonal fruits or superfood powders. Store popsicles airtight for up to two weeks.
