Frozen treats are a frozen necessity for me, come summer. I’m not one for hot weather, and I’ll go through several popsicles a day if I can. So I wanted to make popsicles that felt and tasted like a sweet summer treat, but were also healthy!

A fantastic post work out snack or any time of the day snack for you or kids!

These Vanilla and Chocolate Protein Popsicles are the answer! They are gluten free, vegan, and have no added sugar. They don’t come with an extra layer of indulgence and guilt, but they taste like it anyway! I made these protein popsicles with Bob’s Red Mill Nutritional Booster powders, which have an amazing 20g of protein per serving plus fiber, probiotics and prebiotics as well! These nutritional boosters are sweetened with monk fruit (Luo Han Guo), which is a fruit that is known to sweeten food with minimal calorie impact, along with a host of other health benefits.

I also added some dates, since fruity sweetness gets dull when it’s frozen. So dates are a great source of some extra sweetness and fiber content.

These vanilla and chocolate protein popsicles are a great healthy snack to have in the back of your freezer in the summer. They are packed with nutrition, will satisfy your sweet cravings, and they are a great post-work out snack as well. And they make for deceptively good snacks for kids as well. Those vanilla and chocolate swirled layers taste as delicious as you could imagine, but they also come with a very generous helping of protein.

Substitutes

If anyone you know isn’t a fan of bananas, no worries – you can substitute bananas with 2-3 tbsp of unsweetened almond butter or cashew butter or 1/3 cup of coconut yogurt.

Want to try other flavors?

Bob’s Red Mill Nutritional Booster powders come in 3 different flavors. I use 2 here – vanilla and chocolate. But there’s a third – chai flavor!

You can add berries instead of bananas for fruity popsicles –  like vanilla and berry or chocolate and berry popsicles.

Or you can add turmeric to your chai protein popsicles for a twist on golden milk latte.

All you need is your

  • Favorite smoothie ingredients,
  • Bob’s Red Mill Nutritional Booster powders (here are some handy coupons for you to use) for a wonderful nutritious protein boost,
  • A blender and
  • Popsicle molds, to make your own protein popsicles!

Vanilla and Chocolate Protein Popsicles

Author: Dini K.
Servings: 10 popsicles
Print Rate

Ingredients:

Vanilla Layer

  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 2 scoops 1/3 cup vanilla flavored Bob’s Red Mill Nutritional Booster powders
  • 1 banana or 1/3 cup coconut yogurt
  • 2 - 3 dates
  • Pinch of salt

Chocolate Layer

  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 2 scoops 1/3 cup chocolate flavored Bob’s Red Mill Nutritional Booster powders
  • 1 banana or 1/3 cup coconut yogurt
  • 2 - 3 dates
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions:

Vanilla Layer

  • Place all the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Pour into a jug and set aside.

Chocolate Layer

  • Place all the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Pour into a separate jug and set aside.

Vanilla and Chocolate Popsicles

  • Prepare 10 x 3 oz popsicle molds. Fill each mold half-way with the vanilla smoothie. Freeze this layer for about 30 min - 1 hour (just to partially freeze the layer. This will ensure that the chocolate layer won't sink and mix with the vanilla layer).
  • Pour the chocolate smoothie layer over the semi-frozen vanilla smoothie layer. Using a skewer or extra popsicle stick, gently swirl the two layers.
  • Insert the popsicle sticks, and freeze for at least 6 hours to completely freeze the popsicles.
  • Dip the popsicle molds in hot water for a few seconds (or under running hot water), to make it easier to unmold them. Place the un-molded popsicles in zipper bags and in the freezer for whenever you need a delicious and healthy snack!

    Perfect for my new Arizona summers. UGH! Thank goodness they have some protein to keep me going! Is there a way to store them so I can take them on my hike? Might need to sneak some dry ice into my travel cooler:)
