Frozen Yogurt Popsicles
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup each: strawberry, black cherry and vanilla non-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 TB unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 TB vanilla protein powder
- Sprinkles for fun (optional)
- Wooden Popsicle stick
How to Prepare
- Put each of the yogurt flavors into their own small mixing bowl.
- Add 1 TB of the protein powder to the yogurt in each of the bowls and mix until smooth. Add the cocoa powder to the vanilla and mix to combine.
- In a Popsicle mold (or tall tumbler glass), layer each of the yogurt mixtures on top of one another. Tap bottom of mold gently against palm of hand or countertop to ensure contents are well settled and to eliminate air bubbles.
- Place wooden stick in center of frozen yogurt.
- Put in freezer for at least one hour, or until yogurt is completely frozen. When ready to eat, remove from freezer and let sit for a few minutes to slightly thaw outside and allow for removal of the pop from the mold.
