Ingredients Needed
- Mango Chunks: you'll want to use juicy, fresh mango here! I've bough it chopped to make my life a bit easier.
- Greek Yogurt: use your favorite brand of greek yogurt.
- Lime: a squeeze of lime juice is going to make this so refreshing!
- Honey: just a tablespoon of honey is going to lightly sweeten these homemade popsicles.
- Salt: I always add a pinch of salt, it will help enhance flavors.
- Vanilla Extract: a dash of vanilla extract is perfect here.
Substitutions & Variations
- Raspberry Sunset: I love getting a sunset ombre vibe by mixing some of the mango mixture with raspberries! Fill up the popsicle molds about half way, then blend the remaining popsicle mixture with a handful of raspberries. Pour into the molds so they're now half mango, half mango raspberry!
- Coconut: swap out regular greek yogurt for a coconut flavored one for all the tropical vibes!
- Tajin Seasoning: one of my favorite things to do with these mango ice pops is add a sprinkle of tajin seasoning! You can also buy the chile lime seasoning at trader joes.
- Dairy Free/Vegan: use a dairy free or vegan yogurt to make these mango popsicles work for those with food allergies.
- Honey: swap out honey for maple syrup if you're vegan.

Expert Tips & Tricks
- Make sure the mixture is completely smooth before pouring into your popsicle molds.
- I have only tested this with fresh fruit, not frozen mango.
- No molds? Use small paper cups or plastic cups and popsicle sticks!
- My popsicle mold has a holder for the stick. If yours doesn't, let the popsicle freeze for about an hour, then gently press the stick in.
- Some popsicle recipes use water, but to really get that creamy popsicle texture I recommend sticking to yogurt.
- My favorite popsicle variation is adding a sprinkle of Tajin seasoning to the popsicles just before freezing!
Frequently Asked Questions
Mango naturally has sugar in it, but if you want these to have no added sugar then you can leave out the honey.
I've tested both a stainless steel popsicle mold and a silicone mold, and I personally prefer the silicone popsicle mold. I found it gave a prettier popsicle and was easier to pop out!
The silicone molds let you easily pop out the popsicle, but for the stainless steel molds just hold one popsicle at a time under warm or room temperature running water for about 10 seconds. That should be enough to help loosen it and it should come right out.
