Note:

You might try adding one large 29 oz can of Libby’s canned pumpkin. It sounds a little strange, but many prefer the taste and texture and this will add fiber and many other beneficial nutrients without the addition of many calories, fat or sugar.

Everyone has different taste preferences and goals. Feel free to adjust the amount of water and peanut butter used in this recipe. When less peanut butter (and/or more water) is used, it’s not as rich or creamy, and doesn’t have as much fat or calories. Experiment with the above recipe to customize it specifically for you.

Once completely frozen, these popsicle's will be very hard. This is because we don't add any artificial texture enhancers - we try to keep it as natural as possible. So, you'll need to remove from the freezer and let them thaw out at room temperature for about 10 minutes (or microwave for 15 seconds).

This recipe is best as a late night snack or dessert if you're trying to lose fat because it's high in protein and low in calories, total carbs, and sugar. If you're looking for a recipe for earlier in the day or after a workout, or if you're trying to gain weight, carbs are critical and you should click here for our High-Protein Freeze with Oatmeal recipe.

If you do not already have a popsicle mold, go to a local discount department store, such as Target or Walmart. If you'd like to purchase one online, click here to visit cooking.com. Or you can simply use paper or plastic cups with a plastic spoon in the center.
