Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

2 cups ripe mango, peeled and cubed

1/2 cup coconut water (or fruit juice of your choice)

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)

1 tablespoon lime juice

A pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Prepare the Strawberry Mixture: In a blender or food processor, combine the sliced strawberries, lime juice, and honey (or maple syrup). Blend until smooth. Taste, and adjust sweetness if necessary. Pour the mixture into a measuring cup and set aside.

    Prepare the Mango Mixture: Rinse the blender/processor, then add the cubed mango, coconut water, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth. Taste and add honey if you like it sweeter.

      Layer the Popsicles: In your popsicle molds, pour about 2-3 tablespoons of the strawberry mixture into each mold, filling it about a quarter full. Gently tap the mold on the counter to remove air bubbles.

        Add Mango Layer: Next, pour the mango mixture over the strawberry layer, filling the molds another quarter full. Tap again to eliminate bubbles.

          Repeat Layers (Optional): If you want more layers, you can alternate pouring layers of strawberry and mango mixtures until the molds are full, leaving a little space at the top for expansion.

            Insert Sticks: Carefully insert popsicle sticks into the molds, making sure they’re centered.

              Freeze: Freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until solid.

                Unmold & Enjoy: To release the popsicles, run warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds, then gently pull the popsicles out. Enjoy your refreshing Strawberry Mango Popsicles!
