Pro-Tips
- Use frozen fruit to thicken the base and enhance chill without dilution.
- Choose a creamy milk such as whole, oat, or almond to influence texture and calories.
- If your protein powder makes the mixture thick, add a little more milk to help it blend smoothly.
- Add small pieces of fruit to the molds before pouring in the mixture if you want a popsicle with more texture.
- Store any leftover popsicles in an airtight container or a zip bag to keep them from getting freezer burn.
