However, with today's kids, summer ends up being synonymous with ice creams and Popsicles but the ones you buy from outside are usually loaded with preservatives, added sugar and artificial colors. But that doesn't mean that you can't enjoy a chilled treat on a hot and sweltering day! Today, we have just the recipe for such a day - easy and delicious Honey and Mango Popsicles! These are absolutely healthy treats, free from all kinds of artificial colors, sweeteners or preservatives.
Ingredients:
- 2-3 peeled and chopped mangoes
- 1 tbsp honey
You will also need a Popsicle mould like this one.
Method:
1. Clean, peel & chop the mangoes.
2. Blend the mango and honey for 2 minutes. Make sure that it's completely pureed.
3. Once done, pour the mango purée into the Popsicle moulds. Cover the moulds and freeze them for 6-7 hours till they are completely solid.
