In a blender, combine the orange juice, vanilla yogurt, heavy cream, honey, vanilla extract, and orange zest.
Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and fully combined, about 30-45 seconds.
Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness with additional honey, if needed.
Pour the mixture evenly into silicone push-up molds or small paper cups. If using paper cups, insert a wooden popsicle stick into the center of each cup.
Place the molds or cups onto a baking sheet for stability and transfer them to the freezer.
Freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until completely solid.
To serve, remove the frozen orange push-ups from the molds or peel away the paper cups. Enjoy immediately!
