Healthified Mango Freezer Pops

 

2

medium-size ripe mangoes, seeded and peeled

1/2

cup water

1/4

cup sugar

1/4

cup lemon juice

3

cartons (6 oz each) Yoplait® Light Very Vanilla yogurt or Yoplait® Original French Vanilla yogurt

Ice pop molds or paper cups (2- to 4-ounce size)

Wooden craft sticks (optional)

• 1 In a blender, combine mangoes, the water, sugar, and lemon juice; cover and blend until smooth. Add yogurt; cover and blend until combined. Transfer mango mixture to a 3-quart rectangular baking dish. Cover and freeze about 3 hours, stirring two or three times, until edges are firm but center is still slightly soft.
• 2 Scrape mango mixture into a large chilled mixing bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Pour mixture into molds or paper cups. Cover with lids or, if using paper cups, foil. (Use a knife to make a small slit in the center of each foil piece. Slide a craft stick through each hole into center of fruit mixture in each cup.) Freeze overnight. Remove pops from molds or peel off paper cups to serve.
