Creamsicle Protein Popsicles
Ingredients (6 popsicles)

- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup plain Greek-style yogurt or dairy-free yogurt (for creamier swirl effect)
Preparation
- In a blender, combine orange juice, orange zest, coconut milk, protein powder, sweetener (if using), and vanilla. Blend until smooth.

- Pour orange mixture into popsicle molds, then add spoonfuls of the yogurt mixture and gently swirl with a toothpick.
- Insert sticks and freeze for 4–6 hours until fully set.
- To release, run molds under warm water for a few seconds.
