Orange Push-Up Pop
I loved these as a kid. Back then, they contained sherbet (fruit juice plus a little dairy). I wanted to make an ice cream version with those nostalgic flavors, but I also wanted it to be high protein with no added sugar. And just for fun, I bought some push-up pop molds.
Ingredients:
• 12 ounces milk (1%)
• 2 scoops vanilla Metabolic Drive
• 1 teaspoon orange extract
• 1-2 teaspoons orange gelatin, sugar-free
Directions:
-
Whisk all the ingredients together and freeze.
-
Spin on the lite setting. As always, if it looks a little crumbly, add a tablespoon of milk (or even orange juice in this case) and re-spin.
-
Enjoy it right out of the pint or smash it into some push-pop molds. I made five pops from one pint.
Notes:
-
You can find several varieties of push-pop molds on Amazon. Mine were technically listed under “cake pops,” but they worked great with no leakage. Reusable, too.
-
I did a version of this recipe with the juice of one orange and a little less milk. That worked well, too.
-
For the orange gelatin, choose between 1 and 2 teaspoons. One gives a lighter flavor, which I like. Two gives you more of a candy-ish flavor.
