Top tips for making baby mango pops

Try adding other soft fruits to the mix such as banana or some softened pear and apple.

Can I serve the mango pops straight away?

If your little one can’t wait for the pops to freeze, serve a portion as a smoothie instead. You can spoon feed it to them if you like or encourage them to try and use a baby spoon. 

Can I make the mango pops dairy free?

To make these dairy free, swap for a suitable yogurt alternative. Coconut or soya would work well and are good options for babies who are one-year-old or older. If you think your baby has an allergy or intolerance to milk, talk to your health visitor or GP. They will be able to give a suitable alternative. 

What other fruits can I made pops with?

Try using strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, banana or even kiwi.

“Children and babies learn from their surroundings and there’s no shame in having one of these pops for yourself! Watching you eat one will help give them confidence on how to eat their own one too.”

For this recipe you’ll want a powerful blender to get a super smooth texture. Read our ninja 3-in-1 food processor review here.
