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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Pour the mixture evenly into popsicle molds, leaving a small amount of space at the top to allow for expansion as the mixture freezes.
Step 4
Insert popsicle sticks into the molds and ensure they are standing upright.
Step 5
Place the molds into the freezer and freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until completely solid.
Step 6
To remove the popsicles from the molds, run the bottom of the molds under warm water for a few seconds to loosen them.
Step 7
Serve immediately for a refreshing, low-fat treat!
