These refreshing orange carrot ice pops are a delightful treat on a hot summer day. Made with fresh orange juice, carrot juice, and a hint of honey, they're a healthier alternative to store-bought popsicles. The addition of grated orange zest adds a burst of citrus flavor that complements the sweetness of the juices.

Ingredients: 2 cups fresh orange juice. 1 cup carrot juice. 1/4 cup honey. 1 teaspoon grated orange zest.

Instructions: In a mixing bowl, combine fresh orange juice, carrot juice, honey, and grated orange zest. Stir well until honey is completely dissolved. Pour the mixture into ice pop molds. Insert sticks into each mold. Freeze for at least 4 hours or until completely frozen. Once frozen, remove the popsicles from the molds by running them under warm water for a few seconds. Serve immediately or store in the freezer for later enjoyment.
