Description

Bright, healthy popsicles packed with mango, ginger, and turmeric. Perfect for a chilly day or when you need a little extra zing.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 3 cups (710 ml) diced mango
  • 2-inch piece ginger, peeled and roughly chopped
  • 2-inch piece of turmeric, peeled and roughly chopped (or 2 tablespoons ground turmeric)
  • 1/3 cup honey

Instructions

  1. Peel and roughly chop the ginger and turmeric (if using fresh). Dice the mangoes into small pieces.
  2. In a food processor or blender, combine the lemon juice, orange juice, diced mango, ginger, turmeric, and honey.
  3. Blend the mixture until completely smooth.
  4. Pour the blended mixture into popsicle molds.
  5. Place the molds in the freezer for about 15-20 minutes or until they are just firm enough to hold a popsicle stick.
  6. Insert a popsicle stick into each mold, making sure it stands straight.
  7. Return the molds to the freezer and freeze until the popsicles are completely set, which should take at least a few hours.
  8. To serve, briefly dip the popsicle molds in warm water to release the popsicles.

Notes

  • For a smoother texture, strain the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve before pouring into molds.
  • Adjust the amount of honey to your preferred sweetness level. Taste and add more if needed.
  • These popsicles can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Wrap the molds tightly in plastic wrap to prevent freezer burn.
