Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Add all ingredients to the container of your Vitamix in the order listed, ensuring a smooth blending process.

- Fill Molds: Pour the blended mixture evenly into the six wells of a popsicle mold, ensuring each mold is properly filled.
- Secure Molds: Secure the lids and sticks on top of the mold firmly to keep the mixture in place during freezing.
- Freeze: Place the molds in the freezer and freeze for at least 8 hours or overnight to allow the popsicles to solidify completely.
- Remove Popsicles: When ready, remove the molds from the freezer, run each mold under hot water for about 30 seconds to loosen the popsicles.

Notes
- Use fresh or frozen fruit as desired; frozen fruit may require slightly longer blending.
- Adjust the amount of honey based on the sweetness of your fruit and your taste preferences.
- For vegan options, substitute yogurt with plant-based yogurt and use maple syrup instead of honey.
- To avoid popsicles sticking, make sure to run molds under warm water briefly before removing.
- These popsicles are best consumed within a month for optimal flavor and texture.
