Longing for Summer....Orange-Banana smoothie POP

Here's a nice healthy treat for anytime...

We are due for snow this weekend in Raleigh NC! up to 1 foot ! This is what makes me think of the warmer days and the delicious cooling recipes...I copied this recipe last summer from Country Living Magazine I thought I had copied the author's name to give her credit, but I can't find it now...but I will share anyway because I think is a great healthy recipe that many will love!---Enjoy the winter, and lets look forward to the Spring and Summer! ~ Happy 2010!

Orange-Banana Smoothie Pops

1 container(s) (7-ounce) Greek yogurt
2/3 cup(s) thawed orange juice concentrate
2 large bananas
Zest of 1 lime
1 tablespoon(s) fresh lime juice

Directions:
Pure Greek yogurt, thawed orange juice concentrate, bananas, lime zest, and fresh lime juice in a blender.
Pour into six 3-ounce molds.

(We used mini baking tins with Popsicle sticks, but you can also substitute paper cups.) Freeze until smoothie pops are solid, about 4 hours.
To release pops, dip molds into hot water until pops loosen and slide out. If using cups, peel away paper.
YUM, YUM--enjoy!!
