Nothing better than a popsicle on a hot summer day...
Has anybody successfully made popsicles with protein powder?

Would you share your hints, tips and recipes?
Thanks!

    I haven't done this but tagging because it's a great idea.

    I will definitely experiment, perhaps using an ice cube tray until I've reached a winner. I would start by making a protein shake with a higher whey to milk ratio than I normally use.

    Never tried though I intend to one day!
    I'm not sure whether sorbet popsicles would work though :/

    Here's an interesting site, you might discover something useful! http://www.wheyhey.co.uk/index.php?lang=en

    I tried it once with a prepackaged protein shake. They were AWFUL! I'm not a cook though, so I just never tried it again, rather than messing around with it. I'm interested to see what others have to say.

    I bought these and they were really really good: http://www.eatenlightened.com but kind of expensive. That is what got me thinking I could make my own, control what goes in them and save some money.

    I'll experiment and let you know how it goes...

    I find that protein mix tastes a lot better in almond/coconut milk than regular milk.

    At first I thought you were going to say something nasty...

    Sometimes I have mixed my almond milk with protein powder, shaked up the plastic bottle... put that in the freezer... Walllah! Delish milkshake..

    Interesting. It may work with greek yogurt blended with fruit, protein powder and a little almond milk... i may try this..

    I tried it this weekend. This is what I did:
    half scoop of Body Fortress Whey Protein Cookies N' Cream (19 grams)
    scoop of Garden of Life Raw Protein (Vanilla) (23 grams)
    1 cup 2% milk
    half cup of Fage 2% yogurt
    dash a salt (not sure why)

    Blended in blender, then I crumbled in 2 oreo cookies and blended a little more. Poured into the pop molds, it made 5 pops. Each popsicle was 92 calories, with 10 grams of protein, 2 grams of fat, and 8 carbs

    The taste is ok. A little gritty. Not the smooth fudgesicle I was hoping for, but with those macros... I'm ok with that.

    I'm going to try a fruit flavor next time :smile:

    Google "Unjury". They have a great recipe for protein frozen treats

    I'd suggest using BCAAs if you want to make traditional water based 'popsicles'.

    You could try using whey in a frozen yoghurt style but I'm not sure how well they'd turn out.

    It's certainly not about what I thought it was about
