These raspberry sorbet protein popsicles are creamy but lighter fruit popsicles, with a protein boost that doesn’t take away from the fruity flavor.
I added vegan unflavored protein powder here from Ora Organic. It’s full of superfoods, and has no added sugars or artificial ingredients. Save 30% off HERE .
You can use a vanilla protein powder as well, but note it will be more of a berries n cream flavor versus just a blast of fruity essence.

Why You’ll Love These Raspberry Sorbet Protein Popsicles
- They are incredibly easy to make

- They have a boost of protein, so they make for a blood sugar friendly snack!
Key Ingredients for Strawberry Shortcake Popsicles
- Coconut Cream – just the thick part. Do not use the clear liquid from the can. It helps to refrigerate your can of coconut milk overnight to separate the cream from the milk. Coconut cream gives the creamiest ice cream texture!
- Greek Yogurt – adds protein and creaminess. Do not replace the coconut cream with more greek yogurt. Yogurt alone gets icy, where the coconut cream helps maintain creaminess
- Raspberries-A must for the signature raspberry taste! You can use fresh or frozen
- Pure Maple Syrup – adds a touch of sweetness without needing refined table sugar. Not to be confused with pancake syrup, pure maple syrup is lower glycemic index, and actually contains nutrients like potassium and magnesium
- Unflavored Protein Powder – Adds a boost of nourishing protein without taking away from the raspberry taste. I like Ora Organic unflavored plant protein, which is full of superfoods and has nothing artificial. You can save HERE
- You can also use a vanilla protein powder, just note that it will be more of a berries and cream flavor versus just raspberry! I prefer Just Ingredients brand, which is made with 100% grass fed whey. I feel comfortable giving to my kids, since there are no gums, artificial dyes, or ingredients that may be hard to digest.

- You can omit the protein powder without affecting the texture

- Dark Chocolate – I like Pascha brand 85% dark chocolate, or their 70% dark chocolate sweetened with organic stevia
Serves: 6
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cup Raspberries, Frozen
- 1/2 cup Plain Greek Yogurt, Vegan style if need by, like Kite Hill Almond Yogurt
- 3/4 cup Coconut Cream
- 1/4 cup Pure Maple Syrup
- 1/3 cup Unflavored Protein Powder
- 1/2 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
- 1 cup Dark Chocolate Chips
- 1 Tbsp Coconut Oil
Process
- Blend popsicle ingredients together until smooth
- The coconut cream adds creaminess. I found without it was a bit more icy. Feel free to omit, or replace with 1/4 cup cashew butter, frozen banana, or silken tofu for that similar creamy texture
- Pour into popsicle molds and freeze at least 5 hours
- Melt chocolate with coconut oil
- Dip all of or angle the popsicle for just a portion into the chocolate, then place on parchment paper
- Place in the freezer another 10min for chocolate to fully harden
- Enjoy!
Variations for Dietary Preferences
- Coconut free – if you can tolerate dairy you can replace the coconut cream with full fat cottage cheese, blended until smooth. Or silken tofu or raw cashews (soaked in hot water 20min to soften, then drain)
- This will also up the protein count!
- You can replace the pure maple syrup with honey or medjool date syrup
- You can use vanilla protein powder in place of the unflavored, or omit it all together
Notes
You’ll have extra chocolate leftover. Place in airtight container in the fridge until your next treat that requires melted chocolate

Would these work without the protein powder?
Yes, you can leave it out
Alternative to coconut cream and oil? I hate the taste of it
You can use cottage cheese blended until smooth if not dairy free. You can also use about 1/2 cup raw cashews, soaked in hot water 30 min to soften) in place of the coconut cream. If you’re okay with the taste of banana and raspberry together you can use frozen banana
For the coconut oil you can use any neutral oil like avocado oil
