FAQ

Can I make these popsicles without protein powder?
Yes — simply omit the protein powder and add an extra tablespoon of cashew butter or coconut cream for thickness.

What type of protein powder works best?
A vanilla whey-free protein powder (pea, brown rice, or a blend) gives the best texture and flavor. Avoid chalky or gritty formulas.

Can I skip the collagen?
Absolutely. Collagen just adds extra creaminess and protein, but the recipe works perfectly without it.

Do the sprinkles bleed into the mixture?
Using dye-free sprinkles helps prevent color bleeding. Fold them in gently at the end for the best Funfetti look.

How long do these popsicles last in the freezer?
Store them in an airtight container for up to 2 months. They stay creamy and delicious.

Can I make these without nuts?
Yes — replace cashew butter with extra coconut cream to keep them nut-free.

How do I get the chocolate shell to harden properly?
Make sure the popsicles are fully frozen before dipping, and use a tall glass so you can coat them quickly and evenly.
