Protein Creamsicle Push-Pops
Want to get your kids to eat healthy protein? I have a great way to sneak it in!
I loved Flintstone Creamsicle Push-pops when I was a little girl! These Protein Creamsicle Push-Pops will bring you back to your childhood!
When my boys were really little, we would go on long bike rides and they would eat my Protein Creamsicle Push Pops while we biked through the countryside! This push pop recipe is very special to me.
My Hard Boiled Egg Pudding recipe is a World-wide sensation! People in Australia, India, South America are sending me messages saying I’m a magician for making such a delicious pudding out of eggs!
To make my egg pudding even more delicious and easier, I experimented with some friends and found that scrambled eggs work great! No need to peel hard boiled eggs! I also found that using scrambled eggs in this Protein Creamsicle pudding doesn’t have a sulfur smell like when I make it with hard boiled eggs.
To make these delicious Protein Creamsicle Push Pops, I used Primal Kitchen vanilla collagen!
Primal Kitchen collagen is not only filled with top quality ingredients, it is also delicious! I love that I can add a scoop of collagen to my push pops for my boys for an extra boost of health!
There have been many studies showing a wide range of benefits from collagen. You get a lot of glycine from collagen. THIS STUDY showed that the glycine derived from collagen is essential to maintain the normal structure and strength of connective tissue, such as bones, skin, cartilage, and blood vessels. Many other studies have shown benefits ranging form immune health, digestive health, bone strength and much more.
Collagen also greatly benefits the skin and reduced wrinkles and aging. Smoking reduces collagen synthesis and that is why smokers have more wrinkles.
Another important benefit of collagen is that it is the second most ferment-able substrate behind FOS (fructooligosaccharides). This study showed that collagen is great for feeding our gut flora, much better than almost any plant fiber (collagen is 7.96 where plant fiber is 1.53). So the push for feeding the gut flora with lots of plant fiber is really not needed. Just add some collagen.

Looks so awesome! My son doesn’t like eggs 🙁 so this yummy recipe might help 😉
If I don’t have vanilla collagen, how much vanilla extract should I add? Thank you, Maria!!!
Thanks! I would add 1 teaspoon. 🙂
Thank, Maria!!!
Maria/Craig,
Is this your favorite brand of collagen? Just wondering if it’s better than the Further Foods one (I love their marine collagen). Thank you!!!! Your cloud bread is the BEST thing ever!! Big hugs to you, your adorable boys (got me through quarantine with the cooking shows on youtube) and Craig.
Yes it is. Thanks! 🙂
Have you made this with further foods vanilla collagen? I do have that one and wondered how taste compares in this recipe.
That should work. 🙂
My kids hate eggs and I even tried making the chocolate protein pudding but they still detected the egg, and I did let it sit overnight……so I am a little nervous about making the push pops with the eggs. I did see you had another creamsicle push pop recipe on the site but the recipe isn’t on there???
