Yummy frozen fruit pops. So easy, so yummy.
Do you feel a little guilty giving your kids the artificially colored and flavored Popsicles from the grocer? I do. There are some good fruit juice ones out there, but they tend to be expensive and isn’t it more fun to make your own. The kids have a lot of fun coming up with their own creations.
This recipe can also be used for a smoothie just poor into a glass instead of ice molds.
Recipe: Mango Ice Pops
Summary: Frozen fruit pops or ice lollies
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups of frozen chopped mangoes
- 1 Tbsp agave syrup (can also use honey or superfine sugar)
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice (or lime juice) fresh squeezed
- 1/2 cup water (enough to keep things moving, mangoes can be a bit thick)
Instructions
- Whiz in the blender and viola!
- Taste it, what you want is a mixture that is a bit too sweet and a bit too sour then the finished product will be perfect.
- Adjust the sugar and syrup to make it just right.
- Pour into molds and freeze.

Variations
add a few fresh or frozen blueberries in the molds.
