Get the recipe: Flavorful Orange Creamsicle Popsicles
These flavorful orange creamsicle popsicles are always on repeat at my house. Loaded with vitamin C, protein and probiotics, they're a lighter, healthier version of the classic creamsicle. And only 4 ingredients! Great for toddlers, kids, and adults alike!
Ingredients
- 1 cup orange juice, freshly squeezed or store-bought
- 1 cup plain whole milk yogurt, (see notes below)
- 3-4 tbsp honey (for babies over 1), maple syrup or agave nectar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optoinal)
- 2 tsp orange zest, separated
Instructions
- In a blender, add all of the ingredients along with 1 tsp of orange zest.
- Blend for 15-30 seconds or until everything is incorporated and smooth. Add in the rest of the orange zest and pulse for 2 seconds.
- Pour into your popsicle molds until you reach the fill line. Place in the popsicle sticks and carefully place the mold in the freezer for at least 5 hours but preferably overnight.
- Remove the popsicle from the mold and serve.
Notes
Age: 9+ months (omit the sweetener for 12 months and younger)
Yield: this recipe makes roughly 2 1/2 cups of popsicle mixture. You may need to increase/decrease that amount based on your popsicle mold size. If you have any leftovers, feel free to serve it as a smoothie or smoothie bowl to your kiddos (or yourself).
Notes on Yogurt: you can use plain, vanilla, honey (for babies over 1), or whichever other flavor sounds good or you have on hand. I recommend using whole milk yogurt to help boost the flavor and thickness. You can also use any plant-based yogurt you prefer as well – oat, cashew, almond, soy, etc.
Sweetness: Depending on the sweetness of your fruit and your sweetness preference, I recommend tasting the popsicle base before pouring it into the molds, as you may need a little more honey.
