Cooking steps
-
1
Add Greek yogurt, vanilla protein powder, mixed berries, banana, milk, honey, and vanilla extract to a blender.
-
2
Blend on high until completely smooth and creamy; scrape down sides to ensure no lumps remain. The mixture should look like a smoothie and taste a bit sweeter than you want when frozen.
-
3
Pour the smoothie mixture evenly into popsicle molds, leaving a little room at the top to allow for expansion as they freeze.
-
4
Insert popsicle sticks. For the TikTok-viral look, lightly swirl extra berries into a few molds for colorful berry streaks that show through the mold.
-
5
Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until solid. To unmold, run the molds briefly under warm water. Enjoy the high-protein, milkshake-like flavor — the key viral hook is how creamy and visually vibrant these look when you bite in!
