Mango Popsicle Recipe | Easy Fruit Popsicle | Mango Summer Recipe Ideas!

Today I am here with an another easy, yummy kids friendly summer treat recipe, Mango Popsicle. I love mangoes in any form and if it is a chilled treat like Mango Milkshake, Mango Lassi, Mango Kulfi or Mango popsicle is my most favorite of all. I have already shared the Mango Kulfi/Mango creamsicle recipe and this time tried simple fruit popsicle with mango puree. This popsicle also doesn't require more ingredients just 2 or 3 ingredients is needed to make Mango Popsicle. Nothing can beat the homemade fresh fruit popsicle.
 Recipe is simple to make but I find it hard to take pictures of this Mango popsicle. It started melting soon, no matter temperature is hot or cold. I have seen many popsicle pictures showing nice and smooth texture of popsicle but I couldn't able to click one like that. May be next time will try to present fruit pop with neat pictures. Now off to the recipe...

Mango Lemonade / Mango Lemonade With Simple Syrup - Easy Mango Summer Recipe!

Summer at its full swing here, the past week was sunny, hot and humid days. Though it rained heavily during night time with strong T-storms we couldn't feel the chill breeze. Dunno how we going to manage another 2 months, we need to be hydrated and stay cool by having more water, fresh juices, cool drinks and summer fruits. My kids love mock tail or aerated kind of drinks rather than the milkshake or milk based drinks. So for them i make Lemonade, Orange Mocktail, Mango Mint Sparkler, Watermelon Lemonade and this time Mango Lemonade with Simple Syrup. This Mango Lemonade is a very delicious and refreshing thirst quencher and a must try Summer Drink. I used simple syrup for this Mango lemonade, simple syrup is nothing but a sugar syrup with one part of sugar and one part of water boiled until sugar dissolves. You can use this simple syrup to make any juices and it can be refrigerated up to 2 months or more.

After a long time I am so happy to find some Raw Mangoes Here in Indian Store. The raw mangoes which we get here in local grocery stores will not be firm, tangy n doesn't taste great. But a month back during my visit to Patel Brothers(Indian Grocery store) saw this green Raw mangoes. Mangoes were sturdy so tangy n tasted so good like the one we get in India. I was so happy to see and bought few mangoes. we ate all the mangoes as such with salt n chilli powder, me n H love it that way more. As we get it after a long time we could not control our self n had it as salad n snack :) Then i wanted to make few mango recipes for blog and bought 2-3 lbs and tried few recipes to share here in my space.

Here comes the first recipe, Instant Mango Pickle. This pickle is one of the easy pickle that u can make it in a jiffy. This pickle is common in all special functions like Wedding, Baby Shower/Valaikkappu since its easy and quick people mostly prefer this pickle to serve for any feast. This pickle goes well with Curd Rice, Sambar sadham, Lemon Rice, Rasam & rice or you can enjoy this as such like a salad. This is so simple to make, just chop and do tempering that's it...Tangy & Tasty Mango Pickle ready.

After completing after our first Challenge Pizza, a savory bake this time i chosen Mango Chocolate Marble Cake for the second month challenge. Thanks Home Bakers Challenge group members for giving me this wonderful opportunity to Host and give the baking challenge with my desired recipe. Its my long time wish to try this Mango & Chocolate combo, have seen many no bake cakes with this combo but not much the baked version. And more over its summer and Mango, king of fruit is easily available. So i decided to bake this mango-choco combo with you all and i have picked two different recipes, one with Egg & butter and the second one is Eggless & Butterless recipe. I tried the eggless & butter less version and it came out so good, very moist, soft & delicious cake. Actually i picked two recipes with Banana & chocolate combo and experimented with Mango Pulp instead of banana puree. To my surprise the combo turned out perfectly, Mango & chocolate paired well.

Mighty Mango / Mixed Fruits Mango Juice

Its time for Vegan Thursday, a small group created by Priya in which the members of this group share Vegan recipes monthly twice on Thursdays. There's no special themes, rules for this group and is mainly to share vegan recipes. For this Thursday am happy to share a Healthy & delicious Vegan Drink - Mighty Mango with the King Fruit Mango & mixed fruits(apple,orange,banana with a hint of lemon) combo. So healthy, tasty and loaded with all necessary nutrition. Sometime back my H bought an organic drink named, Mighty Mango. The colour of the drink attracted my kids and they wanted to get it for them or else we won't buy any bottled drinks for kids. That store bought Mighty Mango was a combo for mixed fruit juice with mango flavor dominating and thus it named as "Mighty Mango" (i think so). We loved the drink and as its organic without preservatives we used to buy once in a while n enjoy.
As now its a Mango season i wanted to try it at home, so with the help of the fruit proportions given in the bottle i tried it and the juice came out so good. The colour of the juice was so refreshing and taste also so so good than the store bought ones. This juice stays good in the refrigerator for 2 days, only thing because of apples and banana the colour of the juice turned little dark on the second day. Otherwise it was so delicious, filling and more healthy to give ur kids & a perfect drink for anyone who love fruits. Now off to the recipe...

Yup, you can enjoy this super soft n yummy cake instantly with very less and basic ingredients along with some Mango pulp. Long back i bookmarked Eggless Mango Cake recipe in my dear friend Sobha's space. There are so many favorite recipes in Sobha's Good Food. And i am yet to try those delicacies. In that do list, i am so happy that i tried this Eggless Mango cake, but i converted it to a Mug Cake and also added few chocolate chips :) The result was awesome, but i tried 3 mugs to get the perfect recipe. First time, i felt that sugar was too less and next time i tried adding little more sugar n also added Vanilla Extract for flavor. That was perfect but i Microwaved in 12 oz mug so it was only half or little more of the cup. So i couldn't click it properly. Then at last i increased the recipe little n added few chocolate chips n Sprite(lemon flavor) and it came so fluffy, raised well and tasted delicious. OK No more stories, will move on to the recipe now...

Today's recipe is very delicious n refreshing drink with Mango n Mint Combo. I made this recipe long back for The Gourmet Seven April Edition under theme Summer Drinks. Because of my health issue i couldn't able to post that time and every time i kept postponing for one or the other reason.

Hope i clicked well this time :)
I like mint touch in any fruit drink n with mango mint suits very well and this is on the perfect drink for Hot Sunny days. Very simple and easy to make. The original recipe calls for canned mango drink but here i used fresh mango pulp. Do give it a try, am sure you will love it!!
