Serves: 8
 

Ingredients
  • 2 oranges
  • 1 cup lowfat organic plain yogurt

Instructions
  1. Peel oranges and separate each orange in 4 segments.
  2. Place oranges and yogurt in a blender.
  3. Blend well using the pulse option for approximately 2 minutes.
  4. The mixture should be of a thick (batter-looking) consistency.
  5. Divide the mixture into an 8 popsicle mold or 8 plastic cups.
  6. Insert wooden sticks or popsicle sticks all the way through the mixture.
  7. Freeze for at least 2 hours (preferably overnight).
  8. Remove from freezer, pull the popsicle out (you can run some warm water over the side of the cup to make it easier to pull) and let it rest for 1-2 minutes to defrost. This way you get a more creamier taste.
  9. Enjoy!

    I wish the recipe told a measurement of orange juice instead of just 2 oranges. The amount of juice is very different depending on the size and type of orange. I am using tangerines, since I have a tree with hundreds.

      Jonie, that’s a great question. The amount of juice can vary. Ideally you
      need about 1/3 to 1/2 of a cup, depending on how creamy you want the
      Popsicle to be.
