Banana-Orange Yogurt Pops...

One of the girls' favorite "recipes" to make in the summertime...or anytime rather...is lemonade Popsicle.  The recipe is pretty difficult;).  You make a pitcher of lemonade and then pour the lemonade into ice cube trays, or if you're fancy, Popsicle molds and freeze.  So, when Gooseberry Patch sent me a copy of their new Mom Knows Best Cookbook and saw the recipe for these Banana-Orange Yogurt Pops, I knew this would be a recipe we would have to try.  Actually, B saw the recipe while I was skimming the opposite page.  It adds a nice twist to our traditional recipe..and they're healthy too!

 All you do is add the yogurt, orange juice, and bananas to the blender and process until combined.  As you can see below, some might prefer ear protection when working with a blender;)  Seriously, why do those things have to be so loud?!

Pour the liquid into the Popsicle molds or plastic cups.  Freeze for an hour, insert Popsicle sticks, then freeze some more until completely frozen.  Enjoy!
