    Thank you soooo much for this recipe...I rotate these with Solero fruit bars and it is a healthier snack. They remind me of the Orange Julius drink
    I used to get on rare occasions but MUCH healthier. I think it could also be a good breakfast protein drink in the liquid state.

        Actually, it can't. It froze so hard in the container, I couldn't dip it out at all. Had to "shave" it out and couldn't get much at a time. Could be the orange juice? Need to find a way for it to be more creamy and soft.

      • Amy Taylor (comment moderator) says

        Hi. I've added real coconut cream to soften and it worked fairly well. Plus, I love the flavor combo. ;)

      • Jennifer Love says

        How much coconut cream? Do you use less of any other ingredient when adding the coconut cream?

    I saved this recipe for Memorial Day, which marks a period of hot, muggy weather for us in Texas. Tested the liquid, and nearly swooned,it was creamsicle come to life - but I did lose a bit of flavor after freezing. Not bad,just much more mellow, with a hint of orange in the cream. I think I will try the orange juice concentrate and a bit more honey next time to see if it keeps a stronger flavor. Great base recipe to play with!!

    Hi,
    Just noticed the maple syrup and wondering what 100days team thinks about it as a sugar substitute ? In what way is it better than sugar ? Are there any other natural sweeteners you recommend for muffins and yoghurt etc ?

      If you do a little research you will find lots of health benefits in pure Maple Syrup! Also if you're wondering the difference between organic and non organic maple syrup, it's whether or not they clean their sap collecting equipment with an organic certified cleaner- as chemicals are never used on the trees or syrup itself.

    My kids. 4 and 1 1/2, love these and so do I. I was impressed that they actually taste like the creamsicle pops I bought from the ice cream truck as a kid. The popsicles were simple to make and I had all of the ingredients on hand. I love being able to give my kids popsicles for dessert or when we are playing outside and not feeling guilty about them eating junk. I plan to make these for our 4th of July party for all the kids....and adults!

    Can you use this in the unfrozen form as "flavored" yogurt? My husband and kids love the orange flavored yogurt from the store, and I'm trying to find more real-food alternatives to flavor plain yogurt. How long would it keep in the unfrozen form?

    Thanks!

    These were a great idea! I made a few changes for ours, but the concept was something I hadn't considered, so I appreciated that. My girls will (thankfully!) eat unsweetened yogurt, so I didn't add any syrup. Also, the pulp of oranges has so many nutrients, so I just peeled two oranges and tossed them in the blender. We never have juice in the house, anyway. It was a huge hit!!!

      Great to know your kiddos liked them without the added sugar! Sadly, fresh oranges are out of season right now. We avoid juice as well in favor of whole fruits. May have to cheat and use OJ for now. At least it is less juice then straight juice Popsicles.

    Made these last night with thick Greek yogurt - and then my three-year-old loved having a popsicle for breakfast! She loved it even more that I had one with her, though when she told nana and granddad that she had a popsicle for breakfast, they were not too impressed - I had to put them straight on the ingredients list! Adding these to the repertoire for sure.

      You may want to stay away from Agave.....just read the other day that Agave is worse than corn syrup.......I don't even buy corn syrup anymore and haven't in years.....I sweeten most everything with honey......I love maple syrup too, and I do use it for some things, I put it in my plain yogurt....and I will use it in these creamsicle pops too.
