Why Mango Popsicle's Are the Ultimate Summer Treat

There’s something about summer that demands icy treats. The sweltering heat, golden sun, and tropical vibes call for refreshing, guilt-free indulgences. Enter my ultimate summer recipe: Mango Vanilla Protein Yogurt Popsicle


These homemade popsicles are more than just a treat—they’re packed with protein, bursting with tropical flavor, and incredibly easy to make. Whether you're cooling down after a run, enjoying a midday snack, or simply craving something refreshing to beat the heat, these popsicles have you covered while keeping you on track with your health goals.


Why You’ll Love These Mango Vanilla Popsicle's

Mangoes are synonymous with summer and are the perfect base for these popsicles. Paired with creamy vanilla yogurt and a boost of protein, this recipe delivers a satisfying snack that also fuels your body.


Key Benefits:

  • Tropical flavor: Sweet, juicy mangoes bring sunshine to every bite.

  • High protein: Thanks to Greek yogurt and protein powder, these popsicles make a great post-workout snack.

  • Customizable: Switch out mango for other fruits like pineapple, peach, or berries to change things up.

  • Healthy treat: No artificial ingredients or added sugars unless you choose to sweeten them.


Ingredients You’ll Need

This recipe makes about 6 popsicle's, depending on the size of your molds:

  • 1 large ripe mango (or 1 cup frozen mango chunks, thawed)

  • 1 cup Yo Pro Vanilla Yogurt

  • 1-2 tablespoons milk or water (to adjust consistency if needed)


How to Make Mango Vanilla Protein Yogurt Popsicle's

Follow these simple steps for a cool, creamy treat that will refresh you all summer long:

1. Prepare the Mango

Peel and dice the mango, then blend it until smooth to create a thick puree. Set aside.

2. Mix the Yogurt Base

In a bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, vanilla protein powder, honey (if using), and vanilla extract. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of milk or water to achieve your desired consistency.

3. Layer the Popsicle's

In your popsicle molds, alternate layers of mango puree and yogurt mixture for a beautiful marbled effect. Use a skewer or knife to gently swirl the layers for a fun pattern or keep them distinct for a clean, layered look.

4. Freeze

Insert popsicle sticks and freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until completely solid.

5. Enjoy

To easily release the popsicles, run the molds under warm water for a few seconds. Then, sit back and savor the tropical taste of summer!

Tips for Success

  • Use ripe mangoes: The riper, the sweeter and juicier your popsicles will be.

  • Experiment with flavors: Try using coconut yogurt for an extra tropical vibe, or add a squeeze of lime juice for a tangy kick.


The Perfect Summer Snack

Whether you're lounging by the pool, recovering from a hot morning run, or just craving something cool and satisfying, these Mango Vanilla Protein Yogurt Popsicle's are the perfect way to cool off and enjoy a healthy treat.


Take advantage of the delicious, natural sweetness of mangoes, and treat yourself to a refreshing snack that’s as nourishing as it is delicious.
