Easy homemade popsicles with fresh mangos and Greek yogurt – a great summertime treat!
So it’s mid-June and you’re already ready to beat the heat? I’ve got your answer!
These 5-ingredient, 10-minutes to prep and naturally sweetened homemade popsicles with mango and Greek yogurt are perfect for cooling down in the summer heat!
Our family is currently having beach week — the kiddos are just down with their year for preschool so the hubby and I both took a week off of work to go play and have some time together — and these popsicles are a favorite.
J gets super excited about them:
And I enjoy them too! These are a lovely healthy treat to refuel after my weekday workouts. (Confession: I’m a treadmill junkie. Can’t stop, won’t stop!)
I get some natural sweetness and some wholesome protein, all disguised in a popsicle 🙂
Or a smoothie. Because, to be honest, sometimes when I make these for the kids, I have my portion immediately. Pre-freezing. Straight from the blender.
It’s hard to resist!
But if you do have more will power than me, you will be rewarded with a delicious, wholesome, power-packed popsicle that will satisfy your sweet tooth and your energy needs. Total win!
Need some help in the mango department? The National Mango Board some info on how to correctly choose and store your mangos and how to properly cut a mango.
And did you know they only have 100 calories for a 1-cup serving, plus more than 20 vitamins and minerals? The nutrition editor in me highly approves. And I love that it’s just a simple, real food snack.
So whether you are gearing up for a workout, cooling down from one or just need a healthy, wholesome snack, these homemade popsicles deliver.
Enjoy!
Mango yogurt popsicles
Easy homemade mango yogurt popsicles make a great summertime treat!
Ingredients
- 2 large ripe mangoes (about 1 1/2 cups diced)
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (I use non-fat)
- 1 1/2-2 tablespoons honey (see notes)
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
Instructions
- Peel and dice mangoes and add a few small pieces to the bottom of each popsicle mold. You can also add a few small blueberries if you have them on hand.
- Add remaining mango to a blender with remaining ingredients. Blend until smooth.
- Divide mango mixture between popsicle molds and place in freezer. After 45 minutes to an hour, place popsicle sticks in molds and continue to freeze.
- Mango popsicles will be ready after another 3-4 hours. Run under warm water to loosen the popsicles from your molds and remove and enjoy!
Recipe Notes
The amount of honey you need will depend on how sweet your mango is. Start with one tablespoon, then taste and add extra if desired.
This mixture is also delicious un-frozen, as a smoothie. In case you are inpatient like me!
I use these popsicle molds.

June 13, 2016 at 7:44 AMI didn’t realize how good for you mangos are! And I LOVE the treadmill too. I’m trying to mix it up with doing more squats with a dumbbell in my hand. That’s really good too. Loving this pops, Kathryn! Perfect for Summer. Now that I have discovered homemade pops, I don’t think I’ll ever buy store bought again! So many good ingredients and I love knowing everything that goes in there. Enjoy your beach week 🙂 xo
Kathryn says

June 14, 2016 at 2:52 AMMy kids looooove this kind of popsicle too. I make them quite the same with yogurt and honey. The last two sorts were with strawberries (Bruno’s favorite) and lemons (Perla’s favorite). 🙂 Mango is a great idea as well! Would probably be my favorite!
Kathryn says
June 14, 2016 at 2:24 PMGotta love having a clean version of popsicles on hand 🙂 Hope you (and your kids, if you want to share) try this mango version!

Kim Young says
June 21, 2016 at 10:23 PMThe treadmill was always my go-to until I got a FitBit! My FitBit doesn’t work so well on the treadmill so I’ve gone to walking around the neighborhood instead – at least that’s what I’ll be doing until it gets to be 90 degrees outside! These look so delicious that I’ll be featuring them at You Link It, We Make It tomorrow morning. Thank you for sharing and linking up with us! Happy Wednesday! – Kim @ knockitoffkim.com
Kathryn says
June 22, 2016 at 10:10 AMThanks so much Kim! I’ll definitely come visit the party! (And I switched from FitBit to Nike Fuel for that very reason with the treadmill… I work from home and have to be near my computer so the treadmill is my only exercise option right now.)
Winnie says
