The kids are insane about mangos. I like them, sort of. I have a bit of a strained relationship with them I suppose. I don’t know, I just think they’re a little weird. But mangos, plus yogurt in a freezy pop that tastes like a mango lassi? Um, yum! Plus, mangos are so incredibly good for you. They’re packed with 75% of your daily vitamin C 25% of vitamin A and even a bit of iron and calcium to boot in just 1 cup of mango. Plus, they make a really pretty popsicle. :) Enjoy!

This recipe is part of this week’s VEGGISICLES freezer plan. So get these ingredients together if you’re following along for this weekend’s weekly cooking day!

Mango Lassi Pops #vegetarian #wholefood #OAMC

Ingredients

1 1/3 cup Greek yogurt
1 cup whey
1 ripe mango, peeled and chopped (about 1 1/2 cups)
1/4 cup honey granules
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom or cinnamon
1/2 cup chopped pistachios or walnuts (optional)

Instructions

Pour the all ingredients, minus the pistachios, into a blender. Cover and blend until mostly smooth.

Pour into 12 popsicle molds, or small paper cups.

Freeze for one hour. Then push a popsicle stick into the center of each pop, sprinkle with pistachios, and press gently.

Place back in the freezer until solid.

To loosen, place the mold under warm running tap water.

The Results

I got one taste of the two I froze and the kids greedily gobbled down the rest. That taste was delicious! I’ll definitely be buying more popsicle molds so I can actually make 12 at a time!
