1. **Prepare the Fruit:**
Wash and chop fresh fruit or thaw frozen fruit. Blend the fruit until smooth for a silky texture, or mash it lightly for a chunkier popsicle.
2. **Combine Ingredients:**
In a blender, mix the fruit puree, yogurt, honey (if using), and water/juice until smooth. Adjust the sweetness to your liking.
3. **Pour into Molds:**
Pour the mixture evenly into popsicle molds, leaving a little space at the top for expansion.
4. **Insert Sticks:**
Add the popsicle sticks to the molds. If your mold doesn’t have a built-in stick holder, freeze for 30 minutes first, then insert sticks.
5. **Freeze:**
Freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until completely solid.
6. **Unmold and Enjoy:**
Run the mold under warm water for a few seconds to loosen the popsicles. Gently pull them out and enjoy your homemade treat!
