✨ Mango Orange Sunshine Pops Recipe
Serves: 6 small popsicles
Prep time: 5 minutes + freezing
Ingredients:
2 ripe mangoes (or 2 cups frozen mango, thawed slightly)
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
1/4 cup full-fat Greek or coconut yogurt (optional for creaminess)
1–2 teaspoons maple syrup or honey (optional, to taste)
1 teaspoon chia seeds or ground flaxseed (optional)
A pinch of turmeric (optional, for color + benefits)
Instructions:
Blend it all up: Add mango, orange juice, yogurt, sweetener (if using), and turmeric to a blender. Blend until completely smooth.
Taste and adjust: If your mangoes weren’t super ripe, you can add a little maple syrup or honey. Totally optional!
Pour and freeze: Pour into popsicle molds, stir in chia if you want a fiber boost, and freeze for 4–6 hours or until solid.
Enjoy: Run the mold under warm water for a few seconds to release each pop. Then watch your kids (and you) devour them with sticky joy.
