Mango, Coconut and Lime Ice Blocks (with a sneaky side of cauliflower)

November 7, 2018 | After School Snacks, Ice-blocks

Mango, Coconut and Lime Ice Blocks - complete with a small serve of cauliflower, these creamy ice-blocks are as nourishing as they are delicious.

It’s definitely that time of year to break out my stainless steel Onyx popsicle moulds and whip up a batch of ice-blocks. These Mango, Coconut and Lime Ice Blocks are not only a healthy snack or treat, they are so very convenient. They take just minutes to make and they are a nutritious grab and go snack. My son often helps himself to an ice-block on his way to nippers training, either at 5am (which I encourage because otherwise he has a smoothie which wakes the entire house up) or before his arvo sessions.

Health benefits

Mangoes are a fabulous source of fibre, protective micro-nutrients and anti-oxidants. A pilot study found that eating mango was effective in improving constipation and good gut bacteria. Like its other cruciferous cousins, cauliflower is a rich source of many micronutrients (vitamins and minerals, especially folate and Vitamin C) and bursting with fibre. It also contains glucosinolates (sulphur containing plant chemicals) many of which have been researched for their promising anti-cancer properties and ability to support liver detoxification. Turmeric is a powerful anti-inflammatory and immune supportive herb.

 

Remember to take a look at the variations (below the main recipe). Here, you’ll find suggestions to alter the recipe to suit your dietary goals (gluten, dairy-free, vegan and fructose friendly).

Complete with a small serve of cauliflower, these creamy Mango, Lime and Coconut ice-blocks are as nourishing as they are delicious. 

Ingredients

  • 2 mango/s -flesh
  • 1 lime/s -juice and zest
  • 125 ml canned coconut milk (½ cup) preferably full-fat (I used Ayam brand)
  • ½ cup cauliflower -raw florets, roughly chopped
  • ¼ tsp ground turmeric
  • 1 tsp vanilla -powder, extract or essence
  • 1-2 tbsp rice malt syrup, honey or maple syrup -optional
Prevent your screen from going dark

Method

  • Place all of your ingredients into a high speed blender and process until smooth and creamy.
  • Taste and adjust the sweetener to suit (keep in mind it will taste better frozen). The amount of sweetener you need will depends upon how ripe the mangos are (mangos become sweeter the riper they are). I like a slight tang from the lime.
  • Pour into ice block moulds and freeze until solid (several hours). 

Variations

Coconut-free

Replace the coconut milk with a nut milk or full-fat cows milk.

Vegan

Chose rice malt or maple syrup as your sweetener. 

It's not mango season

Replace the mango with 2 cups of fresh strawberries. 

Add Protein

I often add a scoop of 180 Nutrition Superfood Protein powder (coconut flavour). They have both a whey protein and vegan (dairy-free) options. Shop for it HERE.

I'd love to hear how you and your family enjoy these ice blocks. Write me a comment below.

      Ha Ha – it’s the hardest part about blogging recipes, is those of you in the Northern hemisphere being on exact opposite seasons. Sorry, bookmark it for 6 months from now ?

      Oh no, don’t tell me that Roseanne- I haven’t done any shopping in a few weeks (being in Perth). I love limes so much, let’s hope the market gets some soon! Enjoy G x

    I made it with a combo of pineapple, mango & rock melon, no sweetener needed.
    I didn’t have any limes, so used half a small lemon instead.
    Was yummy & refreshing
    Thank you 🙂

    These look amazing, will definitely try them. Cauliflower! Not sure why or where that came from but will use it. Why did you choose cauliflower lol. Nice to see you are in Perth, me too. I love ice cream and icy poles year round, summer or winter.

    These icypoles have been a huge hit with the kids this summer and now they’re back at school they will be a quick and cooling afterschool snack to get us through the rest of summer.
    Thanks Georgia!

    I’d love to make these for the family, but can’t get my hands on mangoes at the moment. Do you think frozen mango would sub well?
