mango pops

Now that's the look of a happy kid...

Since we tried out these watermelon popsicles from http://www.canigettherecipe.com/, we've been keen to try out other fruits in our homemade frozen treats. This week, it's mango! It's such a simple process and the results are delicious and cool. Just perfect on a hot summer's day.

Mango Pops
(Makes 6 popsicles)

Ingredients:
2 cups mango, sliced (about 3 - 4 mangos)
1 cup low fat yogurt
1 tablespoon honey

Directions:
Place all ingredients in a blender and puree until smooth. You may need to pulse and stir, pulse and stir. If you are really having trouble getting things moving, add a tiny bit of water, stir and pulse again.

Pour into popsicle molds and freeze, about 6 hours then loosen with a bit of hot water, remove pops and enjoy!

No popsicle mold? No problem! Use small plastic or paper cups and insert a popsicle stick after an hours.

what did you use for the mold?

I used my kids plastic cups! Simple out the mix in the cups and then into the freezer. 15 minutes later, push a popsicle stick into the mix and they will stand up. Or, you can buy popsicle molds from the dollar store, Walmart, etc.
