Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cups Fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoons Lemon zest
- 1 cups Low-fat plain yogurt
- 0.25 cups Honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
- 0.5 cups Water
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, low-fat plain yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), water, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Taste the mixture. If you prefer it sweeter, you can add a small amount of additional honey or maple syrup to taste, and mix again.
Pour the mixture evenly into popsicle molds, leaving a small amount of space at the top to allow for expansion as the mixture freezes.
Insert popsicle sticks into the molds and ensure they are standing upright.
Place the molds into the freezer and freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until completely solid.
To remove the popsicles from the molds, run the bottom of the molds under warm water for a few seconds to loosen them.
Serve immediately for a refreshing, low-fat treat!
