Healthy mango & chia breakfast popsicles

These last few weeks we have been blessed with some gorgeous sunny weather here in the UK. The sun certainly makes everything look so much better, doesn’t it?! This kind of weather is a perfect excuse to start making your own healthy popsicles or ice lollies. Summer, here we go!

My obsession with homemade ice lollies started last summer when I discovered how easy it is to make your own with just a few ingredients.

For these mango & chia popsicles, I’ve combined my favourite mango, turmeric & ginger smoothie and chia pudding, which made these ice lollies into perfectly nutritious breakfast or snack on a stick. It’s a life saver for those mornings when you have to rush out of the door and haven’t got time to cook breakfast. Or those evenings when you really crave some chocolate but your hand reaches out for these healthy popsicles instead.

Recipe tips

To make this recipe child friendly, you can use a little less ginger or leave it out all together. It goes without saying that you can experiment with smoothie layers as much as you like. And that’s the real beauty of homemade popsicles. Whip up whichever smoothie you like best, pour it into the popsicle molds, top with chia pudding and say hello to a healthy breakfast for the next few mornings.

To make your mango & chia popsicles an enjoyable process, I would recommend getting good quality popsicle molds. I’ve had a few disasters with cheap ones that I’d purchased from supermarkets before. Although it’s a matter of personal choice but I also prefer traditional wooden sticks in my lollies. Rather than those plastic mold lolly bottoms you can get.

Another tip you might find helpful. Before taking the lollies out of the molds, let them thaw at room temperature for around 5 minutes. This way the popsicles will come out a lot easier. And you won’t have to force them out of the molds at the risk of your lolly snapping in half. It happened to me so many times before! Just go very gentle when you ease them out of the molds.

Ingredients
  

For the chia pudding layer:
  • 2 cups unsweetened coconut milk (from a carton)
  • 6 tbsp chia seeds
  • 4 tbsp maple syrup
For the mango layer:
  • 2 medium size fresh mangos , peeled and diced
  • 1/4 tsp turmeric powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 3 tbsp coconut milk (or water)

Instructions
 

  • Combine chia pudding ingredients in a bowl or jug, whisk well and refrigerate for at least an hour (or overnight). *If you prefer your chia pudding sweeter, just add more maple syrup to adjust to your tastes. When you take the chia pudding out of the fridge, give it a good whisk to ensure there are no clumps. 
  • Combine mango layer ingredients in a blender and process until smooth (you might want to add a dash of coconut milk or water to get the blender started).
  • Pour the mango puree into the molds, top with chia pudding and finish with another layer of mango puree.
  • Place in the freezer for at least 4 hours.

Notes

*Before taking the lollies out of the molds, let them thaw at room temperature for around 5 minutes. This way the popsicles will come out a lot easier and you won’t have to force them out of the molds at the risk of your lolly snapping in half. Just go very gentle when you ease them out of the molds.

    First of all, HOW GORGEOUS are these popsicles? So lovely. I’m really intrigued by the addition of chia pudding. I’ve just started experimenting with chia myself, so this might be a great way to get the kids to try it too. Can you share the link for the popsicle molds you found on Amazon? I’d love to give it a try!

      Thank you so much Danielle! Your comment made my day! It did take me a few times to get my daughter to even try chia pudding lol. It’s worth persevering though, isn’t it?! The link for the popsicle molds is below. Do let me know how you get on Danielle, would love to hear the results of the experiment! Have a great day x

    These are so fun, Tania! I see so many artificially flavored/colored frozen treats at school events, it really bums me out – because natural ones so much better and tastier.

      Hi Dreena! You hit the nail on the head with artificial treats for children. It’s my pet hate too! It’s so good to get the children involved into eating healthy from an early age and showing them how delicious the food can taste without all of those nasty ingredients one struggles to pronounce! Thank you so much for popping to my blog Dreena. Have a great day x

    This recipe is so good, I love chia seeds! Also – I need a better popsicle mold. I need the one you have where you put the wooden sticks in. The one I have is all plastic and it’s hard to eat the popsicles once they get low. Thanks for sharing!!

      Thank you so much for your kind comment Stephanie! Oh yes, I’ve tried so many popsicle molds until I finally found the ones that do the job really well. They’re definitely worth the investment:) xx
