Fruit Ice Pops - Mango, Strawberry, Banana


As it's summer, I love to eat ice cream. Following on from my Mango Buttermilk Sorbet, a delicious alternative are fruit ice pops - made with real fruit and no added sugars. Mangos are in season so I made two varieties of ice pops: banana and mango, and banana and strawberry.


I didn't realise just how many varieties of mangos there are. They are native to South Asia but are now cultivated in most tropical climates around the world. I bought ataulfo mangos, also known as champagne mangos, that are kidney shaped, smooth and sweet like honey!

This is a useful site on how to choose and cut a mango.

I usually eat strawberries everyday with my morning porridge. They are also great on salads, alongside pancakes, blended into smoothies or frozen to make ice cream. Chocolate and strawberries are delicious too!
