National Creamsicle Day

Creamsicle Protein Popsicles

Ingredients (6 popsicles)

• 1 cup fresh orange juice (preferably freshly squeezed)
• Zest of ½ orange
• ½ cup unsweetened coconut milk (or almond milk for lighter option)
• 1 scoop High Whey Vanilla Cake
• 1–2 tbsp maple syrup or honey (optional, depending on sweetness)
• ½ tsp vanilla extract
• ½ cup plain Greek-style yogurt or dairy-free yogurt (for creamier swirl effect)

Preparation

1. In a blender, combine orange juice, orange zest, coconut milk, protein powder, sweetener (if using), and vanilla. Blend until smooth.
2. For a layered creamsicle effect, mix yogurt with 1–2 tbsp of the orange mixture separately.
3. Pour orange mixture into popsicle molds, then add spoonfuls of the yogurt mixture and gently swirl with a toothpick.
4. Insert sticks and freeze for 4–6 hours until fully set.
5. To release, run molds under warm water for a few seconds.

These creamsicle protein popsicles capture that classic orange-vanilla flavor in a lighter, protein-packed version. Creamy, refreshing, and perfect for National Creamsicle Day, they’re a smart way to enjoy summer sweetness.
