Description
These Refreshing Strawberry Mango Popsicles are a tropical, fruity treat made with real fruit and no artificial ingredients. Sweet, colorful, and kid-friendly, they’re the perfect homemade popsicles to cool down on a hot summer day.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen mango chunks
- 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen strawberries, hulled
- 1–2 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional, to taste)
- 1–2 tsp fresh lime juice
- 1/4–1/3 cup water or coconut water (as needed for blending)
Instructions
- Make the mango layer: Blend mango with a splash of water or coconut water, 1 tsp lime juice, and sweetener if needed. Blend until smooth and set aside.
- Make the strawberry layer: Rinse blender, then blend strawberries with a splash of water, lime juice, and optional sweetener until smooth.
- Assemble: Pour the fruit purees into popsicle molds—either in layers or swirl them gently for a marbled effect.
- Freeze: Insert sticks and freeze for 4–6 hours, or overnight for best results.
- Unmold: Run molds under warm water for a few seconds to release popsicles before serving.
Notes
- Add Greek yogurt or coconut milk for a creamy twist.
- Mix in pineapple or banana for variety.
- Blend in a handful of spinach with the mango for a hidden veggie boost.
- Adjust sweetener based on fruit ripeness or skip it for a no-sugar version.
- For clean layers, freeze each layer for 30–60 minutes before adding the next.
