  • 1/2 lime, juiced

Instructions 

  • Place all of the ingredients into a blender.
  • Blend for 1-2 minutes or until the mixture is completely smooth.
  • Pour the banana mixture into popsicle molds.
  • Place in the freezer for at least 5 hours, but preferably overnight.
  • Remove the popsicle from the mold, and enjoy!

Notes

Age: 9+ months (omit the sweetener for 12 months and younger)
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. 
Add-Ins: You can make these easy popsicles as-is or you can add in one or two extra ingredients. Here are a couple of our favorite additions:
  • chopped strawberries
  • crushed graham crackers
  • slices or chopped pieces of mango
  • blended with a few teaspoons of flax seeds or hemp seeds
  • blend with a handful of spinach
Cooking with Kids: Kids love getting involved in the kitchen and making popsicles is always an especially fun recipe for them to help prepare.

Toddlers

  • Toddlers can help measure and pour the ingredients into the blender.
  • They can help put the lid on the blender and push start. Note: make sure to talk about not touching the blender blade while making something in the blender, as it can be sharp.
  • Once blended, toddlers can help pour the popsicle mixture into the popsicle molds. You may want to pour the popsicle mixture into a smaller measuring cup with pour lip to make it easier on them.
  • With help, they can place the popsicle molds into the freezer. My kids always spill the tray at this point, so just give them an extra hand.

Kids

  • You can pretty much let older kids make this recipe by themselves.
  • They can pick out and measure all of the ingredients. Note: make sure to talk about not touching the blender blade while making something in the blender, as it can be sharp.
  • Kids can pour the popsicle mixture into the molds and place the popsicles into the freezer.
