Makes 10 popsicles

Prep time 10 mins  

Freeze time 6-8 hours

Ingredients:

• 3 cups thick coconut yogurt plain  
• 2 tbsp Botanica Perfect Protein Vanilla
• 4 tbsp frozen orange juice concentrate unthawed 
• 1 tsp vanilla extract* 
• 2 tbsp agave syrup or maple syrup*
• ½ cup frozen orange juice concentrate unthawed 

*You can use sweetened vanilla yogurt and eliminate the agave/maple syrup and vanilla extract.

Directions:

1. Add the yogurt, protein powder, 4 tbsp unthawed orange juice concentrate, vanilla extract and maple syrup to a medium sized bowl and stir or whisk well. Breaking up all the protein powder clumps. Set the bowl aside. 
2. Next, layer the yogurt into a popsicle mould by placing in 1 tbsp of yogurt mixture and topping with 1 tsp of orange concentrate. Top orange concentrate layer with an additional 1 tbsp of yogurt mixture and topping with 1 tsp of orange concentrate.  Lastly, top up each popsicle mould with the remaining yogurt mixture.  
3. For a single layer of orange place 2 tbsp of the yogurt mixture into the popsicle mould and then top with 2 tsp orange concentrate. Fill the mold to the top with yogurt mixture. Repeat for all 10 molds.  
4. Place popsicle sticks into the mixture and place into the freezer overnight. Once frozen, remove the creamsicles from molds and place into a freezer bag to keep fresh longer. You may have to run the popsicle molds under lukewarm water to have them release easier.
