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

- 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.
