Mango-Chili Paletas

Mango-Chili Paletas

Beyond the fact that they pack nearly a full serving of fruit for just 70 calories, the best part about these fruit-based frozen treats, called paletas in Mexico, is the fact that you don't need a recipe at all. Any pureed fresh or frozen fruit will do, whether you have a glut of bananas you're looking to get rid of, love blueberries more than your firstborn, or found a deal on honeydew at the supermarket. Just be sure to add a bit of sugar before blending.

You'll Need:

1 mango, peeled, pitted, flesh roughly chopped

Juice of 1 lime

2 Tbsp agave syrup or sugar

Pinch of cayenne pepper

How to Make It:

* Place the mango, lime juice, agave syrup, and cayenne in a blender and puree, adding a bit of water if needed to help it. Divide the mixture among four frozen pop molds and place them in the freezer for at least 3 hours. (Do not cheat by checking along the way, because the paletas won't freeze properly.) To easily release the paletas from the holders, briefly run warm water over the molds' bottoms.

Makes 4 servings.
