    • Yogurt

    • Honey or syrup

    • Turmeric

    • Cardamom

    • Lemon/lime juice

    • Salt

  2. Blend until ultra-smooth. Add coconut milk or regular milk if needed for a pourable consistency.

2
  1. Pour the mixture into popsicle molds, tapping gently to remove air bubbles.

  2. Insert sticks and freeze for at least 4–6 hours, or until solid.

Unmold & Serve
3
  1. To release pops, briefly run the mold under warm water or let sit at room temperature for 1–2 minutes.

  2. Enjoy immediately, or store in a sealed container with parchment between layers to prevent sticking.

Tips for Success
4
  • Use Ataulfo mangoes or frozen Alphonso pulp for the sweetest, most vibrant flavor.

  • If using frozen mango, thaw slightly before blending for better texture.

  • Want ultra-creamy? Sub ½ cup of the yogurt for coconut cream or add a few spoonfuls of mascarpone.

Variations
5
  • Add chia seeds for texture and a nutrition boost

  • Swirl in fruit puree (like passion fruit or raspberry) before freezing for a ripple effect

  • Make a layered version by alternating mango mix with plain sweetened yogurt

Suggested Pairings
6
  • Serve after: Spicy Indian curries, grilled kebabs, or street food

  • Drink with: Iced chai or rosewater spritz

  • Occasion: Summer snack, kids’ treat, or post-yoga reward
