Mango strawberry popsicles are the perfect homemade popsicle recipe to usher in warmer spring weather with delicious, seasonal fruit. With just a handful of ingredients, they’re super easy to make.
Mango Strawberry Popsicles
After making my mango margaritas last week I had a few remaining mangoes, so I thought, why not make some mango strawberry popsicles? The weather is warming up and strawberries are jumping into season.
This was evident on my last trip to Whole Foods with the supermarket entryway loaded with multiple tables of strawberries. In other words, strawberry heaven for all you strawberry lovers out there!
Popsicles are one of the easiest treats to make at home and perfect for all the spring and summertime outdoor festivities. I like making popsicles at home because I can ditch pretty much all the refined sugar. It’s amazing how much sugar is in store-bought popsicles and it’s so unnecessary given that fruit itself is so darn sweet.
Other popsicles I’ve made at home include these mixed berry popsicles and coconut chia mango popsicles. But with a hankering for strawberry popsicles, I thought I’d whip up this mango strawberry popsicle recipe.
Homemade Popsicle Tips
My only word of wisdom in making these popsicles is to truly wait at least 4 hours before trying to remove them from the popsicle mold. I was a little overzealous to photograph this recipe (and eat them), so I thought, “ahh, 3 hours is close enough” – especially as they looked frozen enough. Nope. When I tried to remove the popsicle it split in half as the mango center takes a bit longer to firm up. But good news, it refroze back together.
In terms of the recipe, you could also add lemon juice instead of lime, but trust me, lime juice perfectly complements these fruit flavors. Enjoy!
Mango Strawberry Popsicles
Description
Ingredients
- 1 mango, peeled, pitted and sliced
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, halved
- 2 tbsp honey, or maple syrup
- 2 tsp lime juice
Instructions
- Add the strawberries and one tablespoon honey plus one teaspoon lime juice to a food processor. Blend until you have a puree. Pour half the puree into the molds of your popsicle maker and pour the other half into a measuring cup.
- Wash your food processor. Add the mango and one tablespoon honey and one tsp lime juice to the food processor. Blend until pureed, then pour evenly into the popsicle molds.
- Add the remaining strawberry puree to the popsicle molds, then insert the popsicle sticks.
- Freeze for at least 4 hours, though preferably overnight.

These are so refreshing and perfect for summer! I had some less than pretty strawberries and mango that needed to be used up and thought this would be perfect, especially since it has been so hot. They are not only delicious but so pretty to look at, too! I can think of so many variations and look forward to making these again and again.
Glad you found a way to use up your summer fruits! And yes, these popsicles can be made multiple ways :)
I’ve made these twice so far, and they are beautiful and delicious! I made them exactly as recipe once, and once with about a half cup of vodka for a Friday Night Happy Hour treat (Texas is already hitting the 90’s). I’ll definitely be making these again!
So glad you loved these fun and fruity popsicles!
Hi Lisa!
Do the mangos need to be fresh or can they be frozen?
Hi Michelle – you can use frozen, no problem!
Can you use lemon instead of lime?
Yes you can if you’d like :)
Those look amazing! My kids love pop-cycles, and lets face it, so do I. I’d much rather give them something I made then have to worry about what’s in them from the store. Thanks for sharing.
This is definitely the perfect, kid-approved sweet treat for the summer :)
You had me at mango! These are so refreshing!
A fun and delicious way to utilize mango season!
I love the flavour and colour combination you have gone for here, the yellow and red and striking and I bet they taste so juicy and delicious!!
The flavors meld beautifully together in this recipe!
Mango and strawberry is such a heavenly combination. I cannot wait to make these popsicles this summer. Thank you Lisa!!
It really is one of the best fruity combinations! Can’t wait for you to make these.
Love the picture, love the recipe.
Thanks so much! Hope you enjoy the popsicles. :)
Such a yummy, healthy treat in summertime! Thank you for posting.
Agree! Homemade popsicles are the best – so easy!
Looks like another recipe to make & stay cool! Strawberry/Kiwi and maybe Blueberry/Kiwi, ooooooo Raspberry/Mango that I have to try! :)
I’ll take one of each! ;)
What an awesome and healthy sweet recipe, prefect for this hot weather in Texas! I need to make some of these :)
It’s definitely a healthier way to cool down (I can only imagine how hot it gets in Texas!). :) x
I love homemade popsicles! I’m guilty of adding wine to mine. Such a refreshing summer treat!
That sounds like a good addition to me, Renee! ;) x
You photos are so beautiful! I want one of these Popsicles right now!
Thanks so much! :)
Those are so beautiful! You must have been super fast with those photos!
Thanks so much. I was! And keeping them in ice for a bit helped. ;) x
PERFECT use for the leftover mangoes – love the mix of strawberries & mangoes (definitely don’t need to add much more sweetness). Those popsicles are gorgeous.
Thanks Liz! I’m definitely obsessed with mangoes…but looking forward to all the summer fruit (and cherries!) very soon. :) x
