Mango Coconut Popsicles (Vegan, Gluten Free, Dairy-Free, Paleo, 3 Ingredient)
Mango Coconut Popsicles (V, GF, DF): a 3 ingredient recipe for creamy and refreshing popsicles packed with mango and coconut! Paleo, Vegan, Dairy-Free, Gluten-Free.
Remember when you were in 1st grade and you were asked the super hard, age-old question: what does ______ mean to you? And told to insert super heavy topic in the blank.
Well, every summer, I think about what summer means to me. I’ve happily removed the heavy topic, and replaced it with a lighter, frothier (or something), more playful alternative.
To me, summer is just like these Mango Coconut Popsicles. They’re easy, enjoyable, fun and carefree. Yep, popsicles can totally be carefree. Don’t you agree? (Apparently, if you don’t, I won’t stop rhyming.)
Anyway, back on point, summer feels like that wonderful opportunity you’ve been waiting for all year—to relax, to slow down, to just let go a bit. Like, the beginning of the year is when you’ve got to get your engines going—you’re in the mood to start new projects and change something you weren’t happy about last year.
Spring is when those new projects have evolved into something permanent, part of your routine… or you’ve chucked those ideas that you realized were crazy (happens to me and Erik every year).
And fall/winter is when you start getting cozy, but you also have to dive into all kinds of social events/social planning/making all the things happen for the holidays.
But summer. Oh, summer…. filled with peanut butter ice cream and strawberry coconut sorbet. Can you feel my happy sigh right here?
Summer is that resting point, that hammock swinging lightly between two palm trees, that lazy afternoon picnic paired with an afternoon nap in the sun, that day off from work where you sleep in and treat yourself to a new book plus those shoes you’ve wanted forever… that quiet moment when you’re just soaking it all in.
Summer is fresh mangoes and coconuts all beautifully blended up into two popsicles each… just to fuel up and cool down for the next 20 minutes of playing tag on the wet lawn.
This summer, I hope you get to turn off your alarms for a bit, set your mind to vacation mode, and indulge in some of the fun, special, sweet things you’ve held off on.
Because you totally deserve it.
I hope you share some of your summer plans with me below. While I wait to hear all about it, let me tell you about my Ode to Summer popsicles… otherwise known as my Mango Coconut Popsicles. They’re:

Ingredients
- 3 cups frozen mangoes
- 1 can full-fat coconut milk (13.66 oz.)

I have a question…I have some mango puree. How much do you think I would need for the equivalent of the 3 frozen mangos?
Hm, since this recipe calls for 3 cups of frozen mango chunks I’d recommend aiming for a little under that if you’re already using puréed mango. Let me know how it goes!
