Orange Creamsicle (Vegan)

Remember how good orange creamsicles tasted in the summer as a kid?  This classic treat contains items such as high fructose corn syrup, corn syrup (again!), propylene glycol monoesters, liquid sugar, polysorbate 80, 3 different "gums" and a whole bunch of other hard-to-pronounce ingredients. You can make your own scrumptious, refreshing, raw version in under 10 minutes.

The original recipe from About.com is perfect as is.

Yield: 4 to 8 Popsicles

Ingredients:

• 1 banana
• 1 1/2 cups freshly squeezed organic orange juice (about 6 oranges)
• 1/2 teaspoon orange zest
• 1/2 cup almond milk
• 2 tablespoons cashew nut butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preparation:

Blend all your ingredients in a blender and pour the mixture into popsicle trays. I prefer to use a stainless steel popsicle mold. Freeze for 3 to 4 hours or until the pop is frozen solid.
