Let’s walk through how to make these creamy mango popsicles at home—with a little extra something to support your gut too!
Why Mango and Yogurt Make the Perfect Pair
Mangoes are naturally sweet, juicy, and rich in flavor, especially when they’re ripe. Pair that with the tangy creaminess of Greek yogurt or plain yogurt, and you’ve got a match made in dessert heaven.
This combo not only satisfies your sweet tooth but also provides a treat your tummy will thank you for. Yogurt—especially full fat and plain—can help support your digestive wellness when enjoyed regularly.
Plus, frozen mango blended into a silky puree brings that tropical vacation vibe into your kitchen, no matter the season.
Ingredients You’ll Need

Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups of frozen mango or 2 large ripe mangoes, peeled and chopped
- 1 cup plain yogurt (use Greek yogurt or full fat for a creamier texture)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 cup water (optional, to help with blending)
- Popsicle molds
- Popsicle sticks
- Parchment paper (for easy release)
Step-by-Step: Mango Yogurt Popsicles Recipe
- Blend the Mango
If you’re using frozen mango, let it sit out for 5–10 minutes to slightly soften. Add it to a food processor or blender and blend until smooth. You can also use mango puree if that’s easier. Add a little water if it’s too thick.
- Add Yogurt and Sweetener
Next, add the Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and blend again until everything is well combined. The result should be thick and creamy with a sweet-tangy flavor.
- Fill the Popsicle Molds
Carefully pour the mango-yogurt mix into your popsicle molds. Leave a little space at the top to allow for expansion as they freeze.
- Insert the Popsicle Sticks
Insert the popsicle sticks in the center of each mold. If the mixture is too runny, freeze for 30 minutes first, then insert the sticks.
- Freeze
Place the molds in the freezer for at least 6 hours or overnight. Once fully frozen, run the molds under warm water for a few seconds to help release the mango yogurt popsicles.
- Serve and Enjoy
Place them on parchment paper if you're serving a bunch at once. Otherwise, keep them in the freezer in an airtight container.
Tips for the Creamiest Popsicles
- Use full fat yogurt for that soft, creamy bite.
- For a layered look, blend mango and yogurt separately, then alternate as you fill the molds.
- Want extra texture? Mix in some mango chunks before freezing.
- Don’t overfill the molds—leave a tiny bit of room for the popsicles to expand.
Add a Gut-Friendly Twist
Here’s a little something extra to help support your gut while you cool off.
Before freezing, you can mix in 1 scoop of Sandhu’s Bovine Colostrum Powder to the yogurt. It blends in smoothly and doesn’t change the flavor or texture. Colostrum may help maintain digestive health and offer added wellness support, especially when included regularly in your diet.
Adding it to this recipe is a simple and tasty way to fit it into your day.
Note: Always check with your healthcare provider if you’re trying a new supplement, especially if you have food sensitivities.
