These Mango Lassi Popsicles have it all – the sweet mango, the soft texture, the…kefir? Packed with probiotics and ultra-creamy, kefir is the secret to these refreshing summer pops.
Happy #popsicleweek, friends!!! Dropping in last minute to make my contribution to the frozen fiesta known as Popsicle Week, a time where bloggers all over the interwebs break out their pop molds and make magic happen (I mean…will you just look at these Strawberry Rhubarb Pie Pops and Key Lime Pie Pops?)
Since signing on for a popsicle cookbook deal last month, I’ve been making like…a lot of popsicles.
My once monthly popsicle-making habit has turned into a twice-daily habit, at least. I find myself bringing popsicles up in otherwise pop-free conversation. I excitedly run to the tulip-man when I find a flavor combo that rocks my socks, though his excitement for frozen ice treats fade at around batch 37.
And now that I’m approaching the 70 popsicle recipe mark, I’ve come to realize some popsicle foundations that can never go wrong, one being that of yogurt/kefir/cottage cheese (ya heard it right!) and fruit. So dig out your popsicle molds and blender, because this flavor combo is one of my favorite finds!
