Preparation
In a blender, combine fruit and honey or sugar and milk; purée until smooth. Add yogourt and pulse just until combined. Pour into ice-pop moulds and insert sticks, or pour into 1/3 cup (80 mL) paper cups. If using paper cups, freeze until partially firm then insert sticks, straws or plastic spoons.
Freeze until solid, for 2 to 4 hours or up to 2 weeks.
Tips
If using paper cups, once the smoothies are frozen solid, transfer to an airtight container to make sure they don't get freezer burn.
