These super easy Mango Popsicles are crazy easy to make (they have just two ingredients!) and they are completely refreshing. Plus, the Vitamin C, probiotics, and protein make them a nutritious treat for those little bellies!
Mango Popsicles
My girls are totally obsessed with mango and I love how naturally creamy it is. Which means that when you blend it up into homemade popsicles, it has seriously delicious results—with hardly anything else added to the mix! These are one of my favorite recipes for warmer weather, though we’ve been known to make a batch whenever we just need some brightness in our day.
Ingredients in Mango Popsicles
To make this popsicle recipe you’ll need:
- Fresh or frozen mango cubes
- Kefir or yogurt
TIP: I like using slightly thawed frozen mango in this since it’s so ridiculously easy!
Kefir vs. Yogurt
If I have kefir on hand, I use it here since I like the way its flavors mix with mango. If you’re unfamiliar, it’s basically a tangy drinkable yogurt with protein and a lot of probiotics. If you don’t have it, you can simply use yogurt. They work just about the same!
How to Make Mango Popsicles Step-by-Step
This recipe is so easy! Here’s a look at the process. Scroll down to the bottom for the full info.
- Measure out your ingredients. I like to let my frozen mango thaw for a few minutes so it’s a little soft.
- Add to a blender.
- Blend until super smooth.
- Portion into popsicle molds and freeze.
TIP: You can also serve the mixture from the blender as a smoothie!
Can I use other fruit?
Mango will make the creamiest popsicles, but you could try banana or check out my Strawberry Popsicles for a way to use berries.
Best Popsicle Molds for Kids
We love the Zoku popsicle molds since I find them consistency easy to use and easy to clean. They have this traditional shape and also these mini pops, which are so perfect for babies and one year olds!
Tips for Making the Best Mango Popsicles
- The mixture works as a smoothie straight out of the blender.
- To make this dairy-free, use a nondairy yogurt drink or yogurt.
- You can substitute almost any other frozen fruit, but mango and banana are naturally the creamiest.
- To save space when storing popsicles in the freezer, remove from the base of the mold once frozen and store in a zip top freezer bag.

PinDescription
Make these in your preferred popsicle mold or you can even serve it immediately out of the blender as a smoothie.
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh or frozen mango cubes
- 1 cup plain whole milk kefir or yogurt
Instructions
- Add the mango and kefir to a blender. Blend very smooth, starting on low and working up to high.
- Taste and adjust sweetness with a little honey or maple syrup if needed. (The mango is usually sweet enough on its own.)
- Pour into freezer pop molds and freeze for 4-6 hours or until firm.

My daughter loves these popsicles! I’ve made them several times this summer using frozen mango. I love that there are only two ingredients.

Can you use coconut milk instead of yogurt? My kids dont like the tangy taste of yogurt but I want to make them a creamy pop…. thank you!
Yes coconut milk (particularly the Full fat kind from a can) will make them super creamy!
