Ingredients
Here's a list of what you'll need to make these healthy mango popsicles:
- mango - fresh or frozen, cut into chunks
- yogurt - I used unsweetened almond milk yogurt, but any plain yogurt will work.
- honey - to further sweeten the popsicles. You can omit this ingredient, or swap it for maple syrup.
- lime - juice from half a lime.
- collagen - makes the popsicles creamier and boosts the protein content. This ingredient is optional and can be swapped with an unflavored protein powder.
- salt - to enhance the flavors
Tip: To make these mango popsicles vegan, be sure to use a dairy free yogurt (like coconut yogurt or almond milk yogurt), swap the honey for maple syrup and either omit the collagen or swap it for an unflavored protein powder.
