These vibrant red, white, and blue protein popsicles are a refreshing and nourishing summer snack, combining fresh berries, Greek yogurt, and vanilla protein powder for a guilt-free treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1/4 cup water or unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (about 30g)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup (optional)
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1/4 cup water or unsweetened almond milk
  • Non-stick cooking spray or a light brush of coconut oil (to grease molds)
  • Popsicle sticks or reusable silicone sticks

Instructions

  1. Prepare the red layer: In your blender, combine strawberries, honey (if using), and water or almond milk. Blend until smooth, about 30 seconds. Taste and adjust sweetness as needed.
  2. Fill the mold with the red layer: Pour a thin layer (about 1/3 cup / 80ml) into each popsicle slot. Place the mold in the freezer and let it firm up for 30-45 minutes to prevent colors from mixing.
  3. Make the white layer: In a bowl, mix Greek yogurt, vanilla protein powder, and honey. Stir until smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add a teaspoon of water to loosen slightly.
  4. Add the white layer: Once the red layer is firm, gently spoon or pour the white mixture over it, filling each mold about halfway. Freeze again for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  5. Prepare the blue layer: Blend blueberries with honey and water or almond milk until smooth. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
  6. Top off the popsicles: Pour the blue mixture over the white layer, filling molds to the top. Insert popsicle sticks now if your molds don’t have a built-in holder. Freeze overnight or at least 6 hours for best results.
  7. Unmold and serve: Run warm water briefly over the outside of the molds. Pull popsicles out gently and enjoy immediately or store in a freezer-safe bag for up to 1 week.

Notes

Freeze each layer thoroughly before adding the next to keep colors distinct. Grease molds lightly if using plastic to prevent sticking. Use a high-quality vanilla protein powder for best flavor. For dairy-free, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut or almond yogurt and use plant-based protein powder.
