Spicy Mango Cucumber Ice Pops

Published July 26, 2024

Keep cool this summer with these refreshing Spicy Mango Cucumber Ice Pops. 

Cucumbers are made up of 95% percent water, which is a great way to add a refreshing crunch to your sandwiches or salads. They contain only 16 calories per cup, which helps keep the dishes you prepare low in calories.

In addition to being ultra-hydrating, cucumbers are a great source of fiber. Cucumber skin contains insoluble fiber, which helps your body move food along the digestive system faster.

Cucumber skins also are a good source of vitamin K, which is important to aiding in blood clotting. Just one cup of cucumbers contains 22% of the recommended daily intake of this vitamin! 

Naturally sweet mango and a hint of spice from chili powder make these treats a welcome addition to any cookout or pool party. Make them a day in advance with your kids for a fun summertime activity!

Directions

STEP 1

Toss all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth.

STEP 3
