I admit I’ve never been much of a counter when it comes to my food. I don’t count calories or carbs or fat grams or protein. Pasta in any form is pretty much my favorite meal. I’ve always just strived for balance and figure if I eat a big enough variety, I’ll get all the macronutrients I need in the correct amounts.
At the same time, Tim has found something that works for him (he’s lost 30+ pounds and feels great) and I support my husband. Since I’m the main cook in this family, I’m happy to help him by creating yummy recipes that fit into his diet, like this High Protein Low Carb Almond Vanilla Popsicle.
Whether you follow a low carb diet or not, it’s a good idea to snack on foods that are low in sugar and have a decent amount of protein to keep you full. These popsicles achieve that by using Silk’s Protein Nutmilk, which has 10 grams of protein per serving. The milk gets its protein from a plant-based pea protein, which I love.
Even though I created this recipe for my husband, my kids were the first taste testers and both of them approved. I’d call that a win! It’s a great way to get some extra protein into your kiddos if they are the type of kids with carb-heavy diets who shun foods with proteins.
These tasty popsicles have just 132 calories each with 6 grams of protein, 1 gram of sugar, and 5 grams carbs.
These High Protein Low Carb Almond Vanilla Popsicles make a perfect snack for hot summer days. I hope you give this one a try!

This was wonderful . My picky husband and my picky daughter loved them . My other daughter loved them too, but she is like me and lov s almost everything .. especially if healthy for us!
This recipe helped me greatly . I have been looking for cool , dessert that fit high protein low carb requirements. I added some grated vanilla bean as well,& my family said it reminded them of Brewers Vanilla Ice Cream . My husband gained a lot of weight over past 20 years , he’s a Dr of all things … but as he moved up in hospital hierarchy, he became more Sedentary! He has developed a very serious infection on tummy as result of weight gain , we are watching for MRSA. He has weight loss surgery scheduled and then removal of skin . It’s for health reasons .. he has to remain on antibiotics until surgery. Since we started high protein/low carb plan he had lost 76 pounds in 21/2 months. Not typical but he has a lot to lose so it comes off easier . He is at weight he is required to be under fur surgery but there are a few hoops left to jump through for insurance company.. grrr seeing his weight loss has encouraged him greatly . While family has lost, I’m in size 6 or 8 clothes from 10 or 12, my girls are down a size and 8&10 pounds respectively . We just don’t bring food in he can’t have and are all doing together . My girls are college age , live at home and drive ,, we live near a University, so they of course get junk food out, They are teens .. that’s what they do !!
Thank you for this recipe .. it was encouragement and bit if reward for my hubby and family .
Best ,Genevieve
