I remember when I first started getting into fitness, finding healthy snacks that actually tasted good felt like searching for a unicorn. Protein bars? Often chalky and disappointing. Fruit? Delicious, but sometimes not enough to keep those mid-afternoon cravings at bay. That's when I started experimenting with homemade protein popsicles, and let me tell you, it was a game-changer. One of my friends told me how she uses protein shakes to keep her kids filled up after sport activites!
These Sugar Plum Protein Fairy popsicles are a delightful and nutritious treat that combines the goodness of fresh plums and mixed berries with a boost of protein. They’re perfect for a post-workout snack, a healthy dessert, or even a guilt-free indulgence on a hot summer day. Plus, they’re incredibly easy to make, so you don't need to be a culinary genius to whip up a batch. These are not you grandma's popsicles! But they may be just as good.

📖 Instructions
- Get Your Berries Ready: Start by washing the fresh plums and berries. Pit the plums and roughly chop them into smaller pieces. This makes it easier for your blender to handle.
- Blend It All Up: In your blender, combine the chopped plums, mixed berries, protein powder, stevia (or your sweetener of choice), and almond milk. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Don't worry if there are a few small chunks – it adds character!
- Taste Test: Give the mixture a quick taste. Is it sweet enough? Does it have enough berry flavor? Now's the time to adjust. Add a bit more stevia if it needs more sweetness, or a few extra berries for a bolder flavor.
- Pour Into Molds: Carefully pour the blended mixture into your popsicle molds. Leave a little space at the top, as the mixture will expand slightly when freezing.
- Add the Sticks: Insert popsicle sticks into the center of each mold. Make sure they're secure so your popsicles don't fall apart when you try to enjoy them later.
- Freeze: Place the molds in the freezer and let them freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or preferably overnight. Patience is key here! Resist the urge to check on them every five minutes.
- Unmold: Once they're fully frozen, run the molds under warm water for a few seconds to loosen the popsicles. Gently pull on the sticks to remove them from the molds.
- Enjoy: And there you have it! Your Sugar Plum Protein Fairy popsicles are ready to enjoy. Savor the refreshing flavors and the boost of protein.
