Popsicles are a must on a hot summer day, and these mango cherry popsicles are about to become your new favorite!
Popsicles, like smoothies, are one of my nutrition booster tricks.
As a Registered Dietitian, I’m always very conscious of getting nutrients into my kids.
We always include fruits/veggies with meals to normalize them and encourage intake. We offer sweets occasionally too – a part of raising intuitive eaters!
And with popsicles, they are such a fun vehicle to be able to do so. Popsicles are even great for babies!
While I usually love offering these homemade breastmilk popsicles, I’ll sometimes add some frozen fruit to them to add more flavor.
These tropical mango popsicles are cold, flavorful and delicious, and kids love any sort of ice pops!
And these homemade mango and cherry popsicles are no different.
Why Sarah Loves These Popsicles
“A refreshing, cool treat with a boost of protein is always a plus in my book. Kids love popsicles, and this is a way to sneak extra nutrients and protein in.”
I also added blueberries to this recipe just because I love cherries and blueberries together (can you tell by these blueberry cherry overnight oats!?), but you can omit them if you’d like.
Have you tried our creamy coconut popsicles? They are another house favorite!
Why You’ll Love Cherry Mango Popsicles
- Uses only fruit – This 4 ingredient cherry mango popsicles recipes use simple ingredients and has no added sweeteners, unlike store-bought popsicles, which are usually filled with added sugars!
- Easy to make – Just mix the ingredients in a blender and pour into your popsicle mold. Then wait 4-6 hours for these babies to set and freeze!
- Great for hot summer days – Not only are popsicles hydrating, but they are the perfect summer snack to cool down from the summer heat! 90 degree days? No problem! Enjoy these cherry mango popsicles by the pool. A healthy treat for the whole family!

- Great addition to a snack plate – Whether you need after-school or back-to-school snacks, mango and cherry popsicles are a great addition to pair with other things. Plus, by adding other healthy foods to the plate, the kids are more likely to try them since they already like the popsicles – a great way to get toddlers to eat veggies.
Ingredients
This homemade popsicle recipe is so easy and only needs 4 ingredients!
While I prefer using frozen to blend them all up, you can use fresh fruit instead, and add ice if you choose.
- cherries
- mango chunks – frozen or fresh mango work!
- blueberries – optional
- choice of milk – I prefer using soy or dairy milk for the extra protein! Here’s a breakdown of the different types of milk. Full-fat coconut milk is another option.
Of course, you could always sweeten these popsicles with a number of different options, like a touch of fruit juice, honey, maple syrup, agave syrup, or any sweetener of your choice.
How to Make Mango Cherry Swirl Popsicles
As you guessed, it is so simple to make mango cherry popsicles – just add your ingredients for each layer to a high-speed blender and blend.
First, blend frozen mango with your choice of milk and blend to create your mango layer.
Then, pour that into a bowl and repeat for the cherry mixture with frozen cherries and milk for the cherry layer.
Finally, repeat for the blueberry layer with blueberries and milk.
Then, pour each layer into the popsicle molds and stick in the freezer for 4-6 hours!
