Serves: 6 popsicles
Ingredients
- 2 cups mango, diced
- 1 cup coconut water
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tbsp honey (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by preparing your ingredients. Dice 2 cups of ripe mango into small, even pieces. Make sure the mango is sweet and juicy for the best flavor.
- In a blender, combine the diced mango, 1 cup of coconut water, 1 tablespoon of lime juice, and 1 tablespoon of honey if you prefer a sweeter taste. If your mango is very ripe, you may not need the honey.
- Blend the mixture on high speed until it is completely smooth and well combined. Scrape down the sides of the blender as needed to ensure all ingredients are blended evenly.
- Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness if necessary. If you find it too tart, you can add a little more honey and blend again.
- Once the mixture is smooth and to your liking, pour it into popsicle molds. Leave a little space at the top of each mold to allow for expansion as they freeze.
- If your popsicle molds come with sticks, insert them now. If not, you can freeze them for about 1-2 hours and then insert sticks once they are partially frozen.
- Place the filled molds in the freezer and allow them to freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until solid.
- To remove the popsicles from the molds, run them under warm water for a few seconds to loosen them. Gently pull on the sticks to release the popsicles.
- Enjoy your refreshing Easy Mango Electrolyte Popsicles as a healthy snack or treat!
Tips
- Choose ripe, fragrant mangoes for the most intense flavor - the riper, the better!
- For a smoother texture, strain the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve before pouring into molds.
- Experiment with additional mix-ins like a pinch of chili powder or mint leaves for a gourmet twist.
- Use silicone popsicle molds for easier removal and less potential for breakage.
- If you don't have popsicle molds, small paper cups with wooden sticks work perfectly as an alternative.
- For extra creaminess, add a splash of Greek yogurt to the mixture before freezing.
- Store popsicles in a sealed freezer bag to prevent freezer burn and maintain freshness.
