Notes

Yield: this recipe makes roughly 2 1/2 cups of popsicle mixture. You may need to increase/decrease that amount based on your popsicle mold size. If you have any leftovers, feel free to serve it as a smoothie or smoothie bowl to your kiddos (or yourself).
Notes on Yogurt: you can use plain, vanilla, honey (for babies over 1), or whichever other flavor sounds good or you have on hand. I recommend using whole milk yogurt to help boost the flavor and thickness. You can also use any plant-based yogurt you prefer as well – oat, cashew, almond, soy, etc.
Yogurt Swirl: I added a few spoonfuls of yogurt that was mixed with a little maple syrup, to the middle of a few of these mango popsicles. I did not freeze in between layers, I just poured the mango popsicle 1/3 the way up the mold, then added in a few spoonfuls of yogurt before filling the popsicle mold up with more mango puree.
Sweetness: Depending on the sweetness of your fruit and your sweetness preference, I recommend tasting the popsicle base before pouring it into the molds, as you may need a little more maple syrup.
