Mango Chili Pops

 

Add a little spice to your life, or, shall we say, popsicles, with these nutrient-dense and fiber-filled Mango Chili Pops. Naturally sweet mango combined with creamy avocado and bright lime, with a dash of chipotle chili powder, makes for a culinary delight that’s both cooling and warming. Don’t love spice? Don’t worry; you don’t need it! Make it a tasty three-ingredient recipe with just the mango, avocado, and lime juice.

Mango Chili Pops

Ingredients

 2 cups mango (cubed, fresh or frozen)

 1 cup avocado (cubed, fresh or frozen)

 ⅓ cup lime juice (freshly squeezed, plus 2 teaspoons)

 ¼ tsp chipotle chili powder (or regular chili powder)

 1 jalapeño (optional, seeded and roughly chopped, +1 if desired)

Directions

1

Add all ingredients to a high speed blender and blend until smooth.

2

Taste for additional flavor of your choice (more mango for sweetness, more lime for tartness, more chipotle chili for spice).

3

If desired, blend in the jalapeño (note that the jalapeño may override some of the mango flavor so if you prefer more mango, skip the jalapeño).

4

Pour the mango mixture into popsicle molds, filling ¾ full to allow for expansion.

5

Freeze for at least two hours before serving.
