ELAINE MAGEE, MPH, RD

Steps:

• Pour into two glasses and enjoy!

CREAMY ORANGE YOGURT POPS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the yogurt, orange juice concentrate and vanilla. Fill each mold or cup with 1/4 cup yogurt mixture; top with holders or insert sticks into cups. Freeze.

ORANGE CREAMSICLE FROZEN YOGURT

Steps:

• Cut the oranges in half and squeeze out the juice into a large bowl. Add the greek yogurt, vanilla and sweetener (if using) to the juice and mix well with a spoon.
• Pour the mixture into a freezer proof dish or container. I used a standard loaf tin but a plastic container will work fine too.
• Freeze for at least 5 hours or overnight until the yogurt is solid. The orange halves will keep in the fridge until you are ready to use them.
• Remove the frozen yogurt from the freezer about half an hour before you want to use it. Allow it to defrost slightly before scooping into the orange halves.

FROZEN "CREAMSICLE" CAKE

Steps:

• Line loaf pan with a double layer of plastic wrap, allowing a few inches of overhang along sides. Stir together cookie crumbs, zest, butter, and corn syrup in a small bowl, then press into bottom of loaf pan. Spread sorbet evenly over crumb crust and freeze 30 minutes to harden.
• While sorbet is freezing, slightly soften frozen yogurt. Spread evenly over sorbet and freeze, covered with plastic wrap, until firm, at least 2 hours.
• Using plastic wrap as an aid, lift frozen cake out of pan, then peel off plastic. Let stand 5 minutes to soften, then cut crosswise into 4 slices. Each serving contains about 197 calories and 3 grams fat.

ORANGE AND CREAM POPSICLES

Steps:

• Make sure you have a strong, powerful blender to break down the frozen banana and orange. I like this Ninja or this Vitamix.
