Protein Creamsicle

Who doesn’t love a nice, refreshing popsicle in warm weather or after a long day when you're craving something sweet? Unfortunately, most popsicles are high in sugar and lack nutritional value. But what if you could enjoy a dreamy, high-protein creamsicle without all the added sugar and excess carbohydrates? Try our Protein Orange Creamsicle recipe!

With just a few simple ingredients—skim milk, whey protein powder, pudding mix, and orange extract—this easy recipe will delight your taste buds while keeping you refreshed. Each popsicle contains only 59 calories and 6 grams of protein, making it a great way to boost your protein intake while enjoying a nutritious treat.

Recipe note: To intensify the orange flavor, you can add extra orange extract without affecting the nutritional value. Feel free to experiment with different flavors of Unjury® protein powder and Jell-O Pudding Mix (sugar-free, fat-free). For example, try Unjury Chocolate Whey Protein powder with chocolate pudding for a delicious variation.
