Popsicles don't have to be frozen sugar water. Start with your favorite flavor of yogurt to mix up all sorts of creamy goodness. Use fruit yogurt and supplement it with fresh versions of the real fruit (try peach yogurt pureed with fresh peaches) or start with vanilla yogurt and add any complementary fruit you like (blueberries are good). Don't have popsicle molds? Pour the mix into four little paper cups instead and stick in a plastic fork as a handle.

| 2 (6-ounce) containers yogurt (such as peach or strawberry) | 1/2 cup orange juice | |
| 1/2 cup diced fresh fruit (such as fresh peaches) |
Put all ingredients in a blender or food processor and pulse to form a slightly chunky puree.
Spoon the mixture into a popsicle mold or small paper cups. Insert sticks and freeze until solid. (If using paper cups, let the mixture freeze for 30 minutes, then insert plastic spoons, handle-end up, in the thickening mixture.) Peel the paper cups off the frozen popsicle before serving.
