**Ingredients:**
– 2 cups of fresh mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
– 1/4 cup of honey or agave syrup
– 1 cup of plain or vanilla yogurt
– 1/2 cup of orange juice
– Popsicle molds
– Popsicle sticks

**Instructions:**

1. **Prepare the Fruit**: Wash and hull the strawberries. In a blender, combine the mixed berries and honey/agave syrup. Blend until smooth.

2. **Layer the Popsicles**: Alternate adding layers of the fruit puree and yogurt into the popsicle molds. Use a spoon to create a marbled effect by gently swirling the layers together. Fill each mold about three-quarters full.

3. **Insert the Sticks**: Place the popsicle sticks into the center of each mold. Make sure they are positioned straight and can stand upright.

4. **Freeze the Popsicles**: Carefully transfer the popsicle molds to the freezer. Allow them to freeze for about 1-2 hours until they are partially set.

5. **Add the Final Layer**: Once the initial layer is set, remove the molds from the freezer and pour a layer of orange juice on top of each popsicle to create a refreshing citrus finish.

6. **Return to Freezer**: Place the molds back in the freezer and freeze for an additional 3-4 hours or until the popsicles are completely frozen.

7. **Unmold and Enjoy**: To unmold the popsicles, run the molds under warm water for a few seconds to help release them easily. Gently pull on the sticks to remove the popsicles from the molds.

8. **Serve and Indulge**: Now it’s time to savor the delightful flavors of your homemade Fruit Popsicles. Enjoy these icy treats on a hot day as a wholesome and guilt-free snack.
