Lemon lime and mint popsicles: today we prepare homemade popsicles, my daughter decided to help me :-). We chose two flavors that my daughter and I particularly love: lemon and mint, having molds for 8 popsicles I decided to prepare 4 with lemon and 4 with mint. For those with the chin I used Fabbri syrup, for those with lemon it is necessary to use hot water (no need to boil it, as long as it is hot from the tap) to dissolve the sugar well. The addition of lime gives an extra touch but it is not necessary. If you love the taste of lime, you can also add the grated rind of this fruit to the mixture, and maybe a few thin slices to embellish the popsicle. Try it, they are refreshing and delicious!

Ingredients for 8 popsicles of 75 gr

LEMON ICE:

210 grams of hot water
60 gr of lemon juice + 1 lime
50 grams of sugar

MINT ICE LOLLIES

225 grams of water
75 gr of mint syrup

Skinny Cookies & Cream Popsicles

These popsicles are so smooth, creamy, and decadent that you’ll never guess they’re only about 100 calories each!

Did I mention they have even have cookies in them? Omy. 

With a three year old in the house, I’ve always got cookies on hand. While I try to stuff her full of the good stuff, she’s a child and they always want what they see other kids with. Namely junk. So, recently I’ve been buying these new WhoNu? cookies. They come in a varaiety of flavors, but our favorites are the chocolate chip and chocolate & cream sandwiches. She gets what she wants, and I get what I want. Win, win.

I’ve been wanting to post a recipe using these healthier alternative cookies. Not only do they boast fewer calories, they also have as much fiber as a bowl of oatmeal, as much calcium as a glass of milk, iron, and vitamins A, B, C, D, and E! That’s right. 17 essential vitamins and minerals. 

My daughter happened to catch me hobbling around the kitchen yesterday to mix these up and has been asking for her popsicles ever since. I finally had to break down and let her have one for a mid-morning snack today after I was done taking these photos.

The best part? I don’t feel guilty about letting her eating them at any time of day!

Mango Chile Lime Popsicles (Paletas)

A couple of months ago I was out at Eeyore’s birthday here in Austin.

Yes… we celebrate Eeyore’s birthday here. It’s quite a thing, actually.

Anyway! It was pretty warm out that day and there was a vendor selling some rather interesting sounding homemade organic local popsicles. One of the flavors on the list was a mango chile flavor.

Of course, that’s the one that I ordered! Unfortunately, they were all sold out. Ergh!

Well, it sounded easy enough. I’ve made my share of popsicles in the past so I thought I’d try my hand at this mango chile one too!

This is definitely a play on sweet and heat or sweet and sour. The flavors from these popsicles easily hit just about every point of differing tastebuds within your both.

The mere thought of them makes my mouth water a bit!

The first time that I made these, they were just a little flat. So, the next time I decided to add some lime juice to brighten up the flavors. Perfect!

While the mixture may sound a bit different, I promise these are pretty outstanding.

When making these, I wanted the flavors to change a bit through the popsicle, so I kept the bottom (or top depending on how you’re looking at them) a little more spicy and with larger chunks of fresh mango. The opposing end was left rather sweet and sour with the combination of lime mango and lime.

I told you, these bad boys will tickle all your taste buds!

My popsicle mold makes about 6 of these, but every mold is sized differently. So please, just keep that in mind!

Mango Chile Lime Popsicles

The Skinny:
Servings: 6 • Size: 1 Popsicle • Calories: 70.6 • Fat: 0.4 g • Carb: 18.3 g • Fiber: 2.2 g • Protein: 0.6 g • Sugar: 15.6 g • Sodium: 4.5 mg

Ingredients:
3 Large Ripe Mangos, Peeled, Pitted & Cubed
3/4 Tsp. Chili Powder, Divided
1/8 Tsp. Cayenne, Divided
2 Tbsp. Water
2 Tbsp. Fresh Lime Juice

Directions:

Combine 1/3 of the cubed mango in a small bowl with 1/2 tsp. of the chile powder and about half of the cayenne.

Puree the other 2/3 of the mango, the remains of the chili powder and cayenne, water, and lime juice together in a food processor or blender until perfectly smooth.

Place about 2 tbsp. of the cubed mango mixture into the bottom of the popsicle mold and then top with the puree.

You may want to tap the mold carefully a few times on the countertop to help get rid of any air bubbles.

Place the popsicle sticks into the fruit.

Mine stood on their own and didn’t need anything to help hold them up.

Freeze for 2-4 hours or until frozen solid.

Remove from the mold carefully and enjoy!

I added a bit of low sodium tajin seasoning to mine as I ate it.
