Instructions
 

Blend the Base: In a blender, combine the diced mangoes, honey (or maple syrup), coconut water, fresh lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Blend on high speed for about 30 seconds or until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.

            Insert Sticks: Place popsicle sticks into the center of each mold, ensuring they stand upright.

              Freeze: Carefully place the filled molds in the freezer and allow them to freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until they are completely solid.

                Release the Popsicles: To remove the popsicles from their molds, run warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds to help loosen them. Then, gently pull the popsicles out.
