Do you ever crave something tropical, sweet, and ideally healthy? I do!
Which is why I came up with this simple yet delicious recipe. Packed with nutrient-dense ingredients, these popsicles are a guilt-free indulgence bursting with fresh and vibrant flavors.
Creamy greek yogurt is blended with sweet and juicy mango, tangy pineapple, and zesty kiwi. The tropical goodness doesn’t stop there! I sprinkle in some shredded toasted coconut for a delightful twist and add a touch of honey to enhance the natural sweetness. To top it all off, I toss in some crunchy macadamia nuts for a satisfying texture.
These popsicles have all the best elevated tropical flavors conveniently served on a stick 🙂 And you’ll love my favorite silicone popsicle molds that are easy to use and clean.
Why You’ll Love These Healthy Tropical Mango Yogurt Popsicles:
- They’re naturally sweetened with honey without any processed white sugar.
- All the simple ingredients are easily digestible for a gentle tummy.
- They’re super quick and easy to make.
- The flavors are vibrant, natural, and delicious!
How Do You Make My Healthy Tropical Mango Yogurt Popsicles?
Step 1. Blend the yogurt
Combine the greek yogurt, mango, pineapple, honey, vanilla, and salt in a mixer or the cup from a Nutribullet. Blend until smooth. You can use any blender or immersion blender.
Step 2. Add the nuts and coconut
Add the toasted coconut and chopped macadamia nuts to your cup and stir with a spatula.
Step 3. prep the kiwi
Slice the kiwi into 1/8″ slices. To freeze the kiwi on the side of your popsicles you’ll need this horizontal silicone popsicle mold which allows your kiwi to freeze in place.
If you use vertical popsicle molds, you can cut the kiwi into smaller chunks and mix them with the yogurt since you won’t be able to place the kiwi slices against the sides. You can skip the following steps for cutting the kiwi to pouring the yogurt into your molds.
Cut the center fruit from the peel using a metal spoon or tablespoon to create a neat circle. Cut four of the circle pieces in half.

Step 4. fill the tray
Place two kiwi halves on the top and bottom of each silicone popsicle mold. Then place a full circle in the middle of each popsicle mold. Of course, you can arrange the kiwi however you like. You have complete creative license 🙂
Pour the ice cream into your popsicle mold of choice. Insert the popsicle sticks and cover them with the silicone cover. Freeze for 3-4 hours or until set.
Emotionally Satisfying Too!
Eating to nourish our minds is equally as important as nourishing our bodies. I feel emotionally satisfied when I eat my healthy gluten-free double chocolate chip cookies. It satisfies my craving for something sweet and brings me peace of mind. Because I know my family and I are eating something with clean, naturally sweet, nutritionally supercharged ingredients. And I can still enjoy one of my favorite flavors from childhood that is anti-inflammatory and easily digestible.
