About This Recipe
Remember those creamsicles (ice cream filled popsicles) we used to buy as kids? Here is an extremely convenient way to get a lot of protein in one half-cup serving. Plus, the taste is remarkably like an old-fashioned creamsicle. To make this protein-rich treat easy to grab and go, I purchased an 8-pack of reusable 1/2 cup plastic containers with lids. You can throw one of these in your lunch bag or gym bag along with a plastic spoon and get that protein on the run, without having to worry about a shake breaking down on you if you don't consume it immediately.
Ingredients
- 1 (0.3 ounce) Box Sugar-Free Gelatin (I like Orange, Cherry, Raspberry, Lemon, or Strawberry)
or 1 (3 ounce) Box Regular Gelatin--adds 19g of sugar per serving
- 3 Scoops Good-Tasting Vanilla Whey Protein Powder
- 1/2 Cup (+/-) Fat Free Half and Half
- 7/8 Cup Boiling Water
Directions
- In a 2-cup or larger glass measuring cup, dissolve the gelatin in 7/8 cup of boiling water. Stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
- Add three scoops of Vanilla Whey Protein and stir until all lumps disappear. A small whisk will make the protein powder dissolve much quicker. I don't use a blender for this job because the mixture expands and gets too foamy.
- Once the protein powder is dissolved, add enough fat free half and half to measure exactly two cups (about 1/2 cup).
- Pour the mixture into 4 1/2-cup containers, cover and chill until set.
