Pineapple, Mango and Mint Ice Blocks

These pineapple, mango and mint ice blocks are a great refreshing snack for after school or hot summer days!
10 min prep
6 serves
0.7 serves of fruit
  • 1 large mango, skin and stone removed
  • ½ bunch of mint
  • ½ medium pineapple, peeled and chopped
  • ½ cup water
  • Wooden popsicle sticks
  1. Add all the ingredients to a blender or food processor, blend until smooth.
  2. Pour mixture into ice block moulds and freeze upright until frozen, usually at least 4 hours.
  3. Once frozen, remove from ice block mould and enjoy.

Serving Suggestion: Fruits can also be swapped for other seasonal fruit or vegetables you may have on hand such as berries, pear, orange, peach, zucchini, cucumber or spinach – try making the rainbow!

Fresh fruit can also be swapped for frozen or canned fruit.

If you don’t have ice block moulds, try freezing in ice cube trays or small paper cups and add a wooden popsicle stick or cocktail skewer halfway through the freezing process.

You can substitute the water for Greek yoghurt or milk for a creamy taste.

Storage: Ice blocks can be frozen for up to 3 months.

Kids in the kitchen tips: Depending on your child’s age and skill, they can help by pouring the blended mix into the moulds, adding the wooden sticks to the partially set ice blocks, and selecting their favourite fruits and vegetables to include.
