These vanilla and chocolate protein popsicles are a nutritious snack to have in the back of your freezer in the summer. They will satisfy your sweet cravings, are a great post-work out snack, and they make for deceptively good snacks for kids as well! Those vanilla and chocolate swirled layers taste as delicious as you could imagine, but they also come with a very generous helping of protein. Recipe courtesy of Dini from The Flavor Blender.

For the Vanilla Layer

For the Chocolate Layer

Place all the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Pour into a separate jug and set aside.

Assemble the Popsicles

Prepare ten 3-oz popsicle molds. Fill each mold half-way with the vanilla mixture. Freeze this layer for about 30 min-1 hour (just to partially freeze the layer. This will ensure that the chocolate layer won't sink and mix with the vanilla layer).
Pour the chocolate smoothie layer over the semi-frozen vanilla smoothie layer. Using a skewer or extra popsicle stick, gently swirl the two layers.
Insert the popsicle sticks, and freeze for at least 6 hours to completely freeze the popsicles.
Dip the popsicle molds in hot water for a few seconds (or under running hot water), to make it easier to unmold them. Place the un-molded popsicles in zipper bags and in the freezer for whenever you need a delicious snack!
