Popsicles in zip top plastic baggies are so much cleaner to eat and to tote.

Course: Snack
Servings: 10 Popsciles
Ingredients
  • 16 Ounces Mango Frozen
  • 1/2 Pint Berries suggested raspberry or blueberry
  • 1 Cup Water
Instructions
  1. Place half the mango in the cup of your Nutribullet or equivalent, ½ cup water and blend for 1 minute. If you are using a standard blender then typically you would put the water first and then the frozen mango, follow your blender’s specific instructions.  If you are not using any frozen fruit then substitute the crushed ice for the water.

  2. Pour into Popsicle molds or use plastic tubes like I have in the post above. Open the zip lock baggie Popsicle tube and hold a funnel and the top of the tube open while pouring the pureed mango into the Popsicle mold. Only fill about ¾ full so that there is room for fruit and to re close the zip top. Have a tall, wide mouth glass available to place the filled Popsicles in.

  3. Place a raspberry or blueberry in the tube and then gently use the stick end of a wooden spoon or a table knife and push the fruit down in the tube to distribute evenly. Strawberries, kiwi or larger fruit will have to be cut to fit the tube. The more fruit you put in the Popsicle the less mango puree you will need.

  4. Once finished filling the tubes, zip lock them closed. You may have to pour some of the mango out if the juice is squeezing through the zip lock top. I err on filling the tubes on the lower end because it’s a lot less messy.

  5. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
  6. Stack flat in the freezer. I love these tubes because they are easy to take on a picnic or tailgate and so much less messy to eat than a typical Popsicle. They are also a bit smaller so better portion control for those people that don’t want a huge dessert or treat.
Recipe Notes

-If the Popsicles start to melt you can either "drink" them out of the tube or add a straw for more sophisticated sipping.....or maybe that's just plain fun.
