Orange and Vanilla Popsicles (my changes in red)

1/4 cup orange juice
3/4 cup plain yogurt (used low-fat)
1/4 cup white sugar (used a couple of tablespoons)
1/2 tsp vanilla

1. Fill about 1/4 of the mold with the orange juice.

2. Place the molds into the freezer for about 2 hours (we want the juice to be frozen so that it doesn’t mix with the yogurt).

3. Meanwhile, mix the yogurt, sugar and vanilla extract.

4. When the juice has frozen, fill the molds with the yogurt mixture and place them back into the freezer.

(If you use cups instead of molds then make sure to put the sticks in about an hour after placing the cups in the freezer so they stay upright.)

In my freezer these popsicles needed about 10 hours to get fully frozen. (I left them overnight)

Makes 4 delicious popsicles!!
