What about frozen mango?

Yes, it will work, but if you are using frozen mango chunks, thaw them first. Then they will blend easily into a smooth mixture.

Is mango a healthy fruit?

Yes, mangos is not only delicious but has many health benefits! It's low in calories, packed with over 10 different vitamins, and is full of valuable minerals. It's one of the best sources of beta-carotene, which is a type of provitamin A. Mango is a good food source of vitamin C, with as much vitamin C as lemons! Plus, it's got lots of dietary fiber, which helps your body digest food. But sweet mangos are naturally high in fructose, so keep that in mind.

Which mint to use for these mango popsicles?

There are many different types of mint; I used peppermint, which has the most menthol. If you don't like the sharp menthol flavor, then use a different mint instead. You can try any mint!

This is no ordinary mango ice cream! After a few iterations, this has become my favorite recipe for mango popsicles. They have an unusually refreshing taste, thanks to the addition of fresh mint leaves and lime juice. Light, fruity, herbal, not too sweet – you’ve got to try it out!

Total Time: 24.5 hours
Yield: 12 Popsicles 1x

Units Scale

520g mango
110g banana
20 fresh mint leaves

30ml lime juice

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Start by picking and washing the mint leaves, then cut them into small pieces.
Pour the coconut milk into the blender and add the mint leaves so that the mint oil can infuse it.
Pit & chop the dates a little and add them to the coconut milk.
Peel the two fresh ripe mangoes and cut them into pieces.
Chop the banana, squeeze the limes and put all in the blender.

Now, blend until you have a creamy consistency.

Finally pour the mixture into the 12 molds, close them and insert the wooden popsicle sticks, and refrigerate overnight.

Notes

If you want to store your frozen popsicles for another day, just put them in a zipper bag and pop them in the freezer! You can also buy small cellophane bags (plastic-free, food-safe and biodegradable) so you can wrap each popsicle individually before putting them all in a zipper bag.
