MANGO PROBIOTIC POPSICLES
These popsicles are not only delicious, but they are also good for you! Because of the fiber from the mango and probiotics from the yogurt and kombucha, they are great for boosting gut health. They are also lower in sugar and fat and higher in protein than your typical ice cream pop. And though there is some sugar in the recipe, most of it comes from the natural sugars in the mango. and because of the protein in the yogurt you won’t experience a blood sugar spike as you might with a typical fruit pop. Health aside, these popsicles taste delicious and are a perfect treat for both adults and kids alike!
