Healthy Protein Tofu Popsicle Recipe (Vegan)

Vegan tofu popsicles make refreshing and healthy protein snacks for toddlers and preschoolers.

 Vegan Popsicles Recipe

Ingredients 

• 2/3 cup soft silken tofu
• 1 1/3 cups fresh orange juice
• 2 Tbs sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• popsicle sticks

Put all of the ingredients in a blender and puree until the sugar is dissolved. You can use paper cups for popsicle molds or any freezer pop molds you have handy.

Place popsicle molds in the freezer for about an hour.

Insert a wooden popsicle stick into each cup.

If the sticks do not stand straight up, take them back out and let the mix freeze for another 10-15 minutes, and then try again.

Once the popsicle sticks are in place, continue freezing the popsicles until they are completely frozen.

To loosen the mold, run the cup under cool water for a second or two.
