Ingredients
  

2 medium carrots, peeled and chopped

1 cup fresh pineapple chunks (or use canned pineapple in juice, well-drained)

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

2 tablespoons honey (or adjust based on your sweetness preference)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

A pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Cook the Carrots: In a medium saucepan, add the chopped carrots and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the carrots are tender enough to be easily pierced with a fork. Drain the carrots and allow them to cool slightly.

    Combine Ingredients: In a blender or food processor, combine the cooked carrots, pineapple chunks, Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Blend the ingredients together until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Make sure there are no lumps remaining.

      Taste and Sweeten: Taste the blended mixture and, if you prefer a sweeter flavor, gradually add more honey. Blend again briefly to mix in the additional sweetener.

        Fill the Popsicle Molds: Carefully pour the carrot-pineapple mixture into popsicle molds, filling each mold almost to the top, leaving a small gap to allow for ice expansion. For added texture and visual appeal, feel free to stir in small pieces of pineapple or carrot before freezing.

          Insert the Sticks: If your popsicle molds require sticks, insert them into the center of each filled mold.

            Freeze the Pops: Place the molds in the freezer and let them freeze for at least 4 to 6 hours, or until the popsicles are completely solid.

              Enjoy Your Pops: To release the pops, carefully run warm water over the outside of the molds for about 30 seconds. Gently pull on the sticks to remove the frozen treats. Enjoy your refreshing and nutritious carrot pineapple yogurt pops!
