Instructions

Add Greek yogurt, protein powder, milk, honey, frozen fruit and vanilla extract to a food processor or high speed blender.
Blend on high until smooth and creamy, scraping down sides as needed. This should take around 3 to 5 minutes.
Pour the mixture into popsicle molds, leaving a small gap at the top for expansion. Place popsicle sticks into the molds.
Freeze for at least 4 hours or until they are completely solid. Once they have set, you can remove protein ice pops from the mold. Serve immediately, or place into zipper bags or in an airtight food container and freeze.

Notes

This recipe uses vanilla flavor whey protein powder. You can also make popsicles with casein, or vegan protein powder, but you may need to add more milk in case the mixture is too thick.
The amount of milk required depends on the protein powder used. Start with 2 tablespoons, blend, and add up to 5 tablespoons in case the mixture is still too thick.
Use your favorite protein powder flavor, my recommendation is vanilla protein. If using unflavored protein powder, add about ¾ teaspoon of vanilla extract for vanilla popsicles.
