Mango JackFruit Protein Popsicles From The Little Epicurean

Okay, these popsicles definitely win the ‘best-dressed award on this list. You can head on over to Thelittleepicurean.com for information on what kind of popsicle mold she uses, when to add the wooden stick, and how to decorate your popsicles! Buy ripe jackfruit, making sure it’s orange and not green. Young jackfruit is green and tastes like pork, perfect for vegan tacos (not popsicles). Ripe Jackfruit is sticky and sweet, similar to a mango in flavor (it’s my favorite fruit!)  Healthline.com says, “There is anecdotal evidence that eating it [jackfruit]  may slow the aging of your skin.”

 

 

Very Pina Colada Creamsicles From Damy Health

We had to include a ‘pure’ Pina Colada protein popsicle recipe on this list! Use our Pina Colada Vegan Protein Powder or if you don’t have it, our vanilla protein powder. This recipe calls for light coconut milk, which can add to the calorie count, but is full of potassium. You can actually ‘sweat out’ potassium during exercise, making these one of the best replenishing protein bars for after a heavy workout.
