Nutritional Benefits of Mango

Beyond being delicious, these healthy mango popsicles are also full of the following:

• vitamin C
• vitamin A
• folate
• beta-carotene
• fiber
• vitamin B-6

Ingredients

• Frozen mango: Frozen mango chunks are a great way to add tropical flavor to your own popsicles without
• Almond or coconut milk: Any non-dairy milk will help turn the mangos into delicious mango puree.
• Greek yogurt: The yogurt will add a creamy texture to make this frozen treat taste decadent.
• Sweetener: A small splash of honey, maple syrup, or stevia will really draw out the mango flavors.

How To Make Mango Popsicles

1. Put mango and ¾ cup milk in the blender and mix well.
2. Pour the mango mixture into your favorite popsicle mold about ⅓ of the way up and put it in the freezer for about 30 minutes. This will prevent the layers from mixing.
3. Add Greek yogurt, sweetener, and a dash of milk to the blender. Mix well. If it's too thick to pour, add a bit more milk until you get desired consistency.
4. Remove the popsicles from the freezer and add the yogurt layer. Put it back in the freezer for about 30 minutes. 
5. Remove from freezer and add remaining mango layer. Freeze again for several hours. To unmold, run the bottom of the mold under warm water - not hot. If it's too hot, the popsicles will melt. 

Ways to Adapt

• Dairy-free - These Mango Yogurt Popsicles are so adaptable - use coconut or almond yogurt. I am amazed by the selection of non-dairy yogurts at the store these days. 
• Keto - Use stevia to sweeten these creamy mango popsicles if you are keto or low carb
• Vegan - Use non-dairy milks and yogurt to make these easy mango popsicles vegan.

Helpful Tips

• All you have to do is mix up your layers and then put them in the mold. Freeze for 30 minutes in between each layer. If you don't give it a chance to freeze for at least 30 minutes, your layers will get mixed up, and it won't be pretty. It will still taste delicious, though.
• If you aren't a fan of mango or want to try this technique with other fruits, these homemade popsicles are also great with raspberries, strawberries, blackberries, peaches, kiwi, or pineapple.
• If you don't have a silicone popsicle mold, GET ONE! They are so fun in the summertime. Here's the one I use. 
• If you wanted to add a layer of granola to the bottom of the pops, that would be cute too. Then you could eat them for breakfast. 😆
• Use a food processor to blend the mangoes if you don't have a blender.

Leftovers and Storage

These mango popsicles store great in the freezer. To avoid ice crystals, either keep the popsicles in their popsicle molds or wrap them in parchment paper or plastic wrap. Eat within 1-2 months for the best flavor.
