•1 cup orange juice
•1 cup Greek yogurt
•1/2 cup fresh or frozen mango or peach chunks

Instructions

1.Add the orange juice and protein powder to a blender and blend until fully dissolved.
2.Add the Greek yogurt and fruit, and blend again until smooth.
3.Pour into a popsicle mold, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.
4.Insert popsicle sticks and freeze for at least 4 hours, until completely solid.

Tip

Blend the protein powder into the juice before adding the yogurt and fruit — mixing it into the thinnest liquid first is what keeps it from clumping once the mixture gets thicker.
