Instructions to Craft Your Mango Ice-pops

1. Begin by peeling and deseeding your mangoes. Cut them into medium chunks.
2. In a blender, combine your mango chunks, water, fresh lime juice, honey (or agave nectar), and a pinch of sea salt.
3. Blend this mixture until it’s silky smooth.
4. Taste your mixture. Adjust with more honey or lime if needed. It’s all about finding your perfect balance.
5. Pour the blended mixture into ice-pop molds.
6. Insert wooden sticks into each mold.
7. Transfer the molds to your freezer. Allow your Mango ice-pops to set for about 5-7 hours, or until they’re firm and completely frozen.
8. Once set, run the mold briefly under warm water to easily release your Mango ice-pops.

Pro Tips

1. When picking mangoes, opt for ones that are fragrant and give slightly when pressed. This indicates ripeness.
2. No ice-pop molds? No worries! Use disposable cups and wooden sticks as a makeshift solution.
3. To enhance the mango flavor, consider adding a few dashes of chili powder or a sprinkle of shredded coconut before freezing.
4. If your Mango ice-pops mixture is too thick, add a splash more water. If too thin, consider blending in an additional half mango.

Serving and Enjoyment Suggestions

• Serve your Mango ice-pops straight from the freezer to ensure they don’t melt too quickly.
• Accompany with a fresh fruit salad for a wholesome summer treat.
• A light sprinkle of Tajín or a similar chili-lime seasoning can add a spicy kick to your Mango ice-pops.
• Mango ice-pops are fantastic post-workout. The natural sugars from the mango can help in quick recovery.
